i just had a georend trans installed and with my first wot run it took about 1.5 seconds to shift from 1st to 2nd and sometimes into third. and when the converter locks under light throttle i can feel it hobble maybe 2 or three times. either then that it made a huge difference in power. how can i fix the shifts?

Make sure its filled to the proper level. You will probably have to adjust the TV cable to get the shifting up to par. Thanks Steve B.

Did you call Dave first? I just dont get you. A new tranny from Goerend and you dont call them first.

were is the tv cable? and i didnt call dave because theres a local shop who ive been dealing with for a long time but they are very busy because they are having a dyno day this sunday so they wont be able to get to it till monday. i also have a bd pressure lok on my trans but i adjusted that and nothing happened and the fluids were the first thing i checked and were perfect im 99 percent sure its the tv cable but i dont know what it is! is it the kick down cable?

The TV is the same as the kickdown cable. I believe the adjustment is made on the engine at the throttle linkage. From what Dave told me before it should be adjusted such that at full throttle there is just barely a little wiggle room when you try to rotate the TV linkage (on the transmission) by hand. Basically just make sure you're getting full rotation of the linkage without stressing the cable, otherwise you break the cable eventually and then take out some clutches in your trans (personal experience!). If you're TV is close, I STRONGLY suggest you contact the source directly and Dave will help get to the bottom of it.

Double check the fluid level first.
On mine, I had to add an extra quart after a few minutes of driving (Have to "burp" all the air out of the circuits) then a 1/2 quart past the full mark.
Been all good for the past 4 years.

And if you have a problem with Dave's stuff.....call him first....He'll bend over backwards to make sure you're happy.
