Hi guys, I'm new to the forum, but here is my question. I've got a 93' ram with the a518/46rh non lockup trans. I've done the TC, it's got a custom built low stall. But my transmission shifts late, holds each gear to long. So I've got the TV cable about as far back as it will go; but it return I get sloppy shitfts. If I was to un screw (CCW right?) the shift point screw (blue locktite) then in theorie I should be able to make my TV a little more aggressive, hopefully giving crisper shifts. I have turned up the line preassure two turns. It helped a huge amount. I appreciate any input; thanks
I've read through all the transmission threads, lots of shifting early, but I seem to be the only one where the trans shifts are to long.

You have to turn the throttle pressure screw (blue loctited one) clockwise to raise the shift points. If I rmember correctly, when I did my trans I set that screw so there was about .060 clearance between the screw and the throttle valve with the linkage at idle position, FWIW my junk shifts 1-2 at 15-17 and 2-3 about 25-27, all light throttle/around town type driving. I havent really ck`ed the WOT upshift speeds but the few times I`ve hammered it there doesnt seem to be any problems with it, meaning it shifts fine/doesnt hang gears or anything.

Thanks for the reply. So if I was to turn it ccw it would lower the shift points. Those shift points sound about perfect for light cruising. Next time I'm in there I'll check the clearance before I monkey with it. What are your shif points at wot?
