Tranny flare and TPS

[SVX-FF]

If the TPS is bad or out of adjustment will the tranny flare from 2nd to 3rd under heavy acceleration and not light acceleration?

Hey Harvey, this may be you chance to give me good news.

Yes, a misadjusted TPS will cause a 2-3 flare.

Oh shizz, it would be the band for anybody else Steve, but in your case it is probably the high clutch.

If its band adjustment, the band releases before the high clutch has been applied, so it just revs, till the high clutch comes on. If it is the high clutch, it comes on but slips. You can tell the difference by the way it revs on the change. If it just revs free and high, it's the band. If it seem like it is slower to build the rpms, like it's under load, its the clutch.

It is the high clutch. The tranny shop has replaced the high clutch package after only 2 weeks of driving. The band break is new and the pump has been rebuilt. They replaced a solenoid and still are getting low line pressure. I told them about the resister behind the battery but was not sure about the TPS.

Under the advice of Tom (svxfiles) I an going to have them test the TPS to ensure it is working properly.

If there is anything I can tell them that would be great.

Wow, what WON'T be new in this tranny?

[TomsSVX]

cool fluid Good luck with it man

I just got off the phone with the tranny shop and the TPS was a little low but no problem there. The drop resistor is not working correctly.

Line pressure at idle was about 63, good there, WOT was about 154, below min of 16?. They are ordering a new drop resistor. Man I hope this fixes it.

I was told that there is only 6 drop resistors left in the country. Who has been taking them.

Starter lock out?

We'd all have 5/6 speeds if someone was still making install kits . . .

Just kidding, I understand having too much to do and too little time. Maybe we have to revisit that idea about burning down your favorite bar!

hey, its not the bar's fault. I have remanded my visits to once a week. It's Temple University's fault for giving me too many papers and not enough time

I would but then I would loose my two year warranty on the tranny.

Jim is actully sugesting that I get the shift kit and he will still honor the warranty.

I wish, but I have already sunk 2300 into this auto. I need to keep it for know.

Jim called and told me that the resistor was the problem and that the car ran great. NO FLARE.

I am so excited to get her back. I've been driving a 95 Dodge Acclaim. It'
s a loaner car to drive but it really really suck compared to my SVX.
