There are a lot of >passages in there. The screen might even need another clean or >replacement, likely more than not. You are both missing the point here I think. The TV cable controls shift points and increases line pressure too so if you advance the cable setting to a higher shift point at same throttle input, you will have a higher average line pressure and therefore less shudder because clutches have more pressure on them. I do not want to be grime reeper here but I suspect that you have clutch problems from either a worn clutch or a bad seal in a clutch pack leaking pressure. Next step would be to have a tranny shop do a line pressure check on it at test ports and if pressure is good then you have internal problems with clutches and or leakage their control circuits. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |
