RE: 2 tranny questions

Enzo,
	Wow, that's weird.  Was the car level when up on the stands?  If I
recall correctly it takes more line pressure to engage reverse than the
other gears so it's possible that it appears that you have reverse with no
load on the drivetrain but once on the ground there's not enough pressure to
move the car.  If your fluid level is correct I'd check the cable adjustment
again.  Is this a fresh transmission or has it been run before?

	Throttle pressure linkage/cable is a bugger with a Hemi Crossram.
The Max Wedges used a rod not unlike the one that the Imperials used - one
big long rod with no bellcrank.  Not sure if that will work on the big
headed motor.  The Bouchillon piece is based on the Dodge Ram cable, which
is a better setup than the Lokar cable, IMHO, although the Lokar may be
simpler to install.  Either way it's a pull type cable, so it has to loop
around and come up to the transmission from the rear.  We've fiddled with it
for years and have never come up with a good solution.  You might call A&A
transmission and see if they have any ideas - they make the Hemi intake
manifolds and kickdown setups for most common applications, so if anybody
would know I think it would be A&A.
	
	I myself forego the pleasure of kickdown linkage and just go with
the manual valve body... more time to play with the buttons :)

Subject: 2 tranny questions


Hello gentlemen
I have 2 issues -First one
Steve Charete was kind enough to forward tranny adjustment info.
My ride- 63 dodge "440"- 528 heni -cross ram Holley 600's-  PB Auto- My
issue is that on stands I've adjusted the tranny so that I get reverse When
I drop it on the ground the button depresses but NO reverse.
Second question -Is anyone else running a crossram and what are you using
for a transmission "TV" cable- I bought the Bouchillion unit but maybe
there's a better set-up or mounting pattern.
As always any help appreciated
regards
Enzo
