This sounds suspiciously like the resistor - if Trevor or other could check my logic, so that Menarious might get the go ahead.


The resistor is responsible for softening shifts by reducing line pressure in the event of a shift, correct? Also, binding, or a slight "catch" while shifting down thru the gears is the earmark of an unplugged resistor.

While I searched long and hard for the solution to my binding and flare issues, in the end, it turned out to be resistor failure, diagnosing this problem could be as simple as unplugging the resistor and taking a short jaunt thru varied traffic in D. If the shifts feel much quicker, this might be your issue. However, it may just mask another issue of low line pressure that would be temporarily alleviated by decreasing resistance to that circut.

This was the solution to my problem, a new resistor, adjustment of the TPS to proper values (.5v) and an adjustment of the brake band was the answer to all of my woes.
