i am having a problem with the 1-2 shift it is very soft and long but all other gears are fine what could this be

 

someone said this could be the accumulator spring broke if so how hard is it to fix

 

wheres the trans techs at need help

 

I see why no one has postd.

Its an automatic with recently installed 3400 torque converter. Its taking longer than usual to shift from first to second. It seems like it slips out of gear then shifts. It shifts hard but not accurate.

Did you talk to frost? He say anything about torque management?

 

Did you install a shift kit when the stall converter was put in??

 

no but it might have one already in it im going to pull the pan and the valve body in about 3 hours after i get a book from the library with the info on how to do it

 

well its not the accumulator spring pulled the pan and found like 5 or so pieces of something the size of a straw end im guessing band material and the magnet was cover with with sludge and its from only 7k mi since i put the stall in and changed the filter and cleaned the magnet

well guess im going to rebuild it any suggestion on what kit to get and any other parts i should change while in there keep in mind im going to put a procharger on it sometime in the near future

 

Dang, hate to hear that man. With your future plans in mind it might not be a bad idea to get a built unit from one of the sponsors on here and be done with it. That's the route I'll probably be taking next Spring when my trans explodes! LOL Good luck!!
