Re: Torqueflite Cable Adjustment

[Dave Cornelius <lt7dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all the help, guys.  I decided to try fine tuning the adjusting wheel/nut.  My daughter worked the buttons while I made adjustments one hole at a time.  She was able to give me feedback until we had it dialed in and back to normal.  Now if I could just get it to stop plugging filters.  The first filter I put in it was plugged after just 6 miles, and then it wouldn't shift at all.  Up until then, it shifted great - no signs of trouble.  The filter was all gunked up - just like the one that was in it when I got the car.  My theory/hope was that it's junk working through the system - and maybe sediment in the cooler.  Rather than have the radiator boiled out (the radiator looks great), I bypassed the cooler and put in an auxilary cooler for 1/2 the price of boiling the radiator.  After another new filter went in, it shifted really nice in the driveway (once I got the cable adjusted).  But after about 15 minutes of running, no more shifting.  My
 guess is the new filter is plugged again.  There weren't any chunks of anything nor any metal in the pan or filter both times I had the pan off - just sludge in the filter.  I haven't dropped the pan again yet - my time alottment for woking on it is up for today. 

I don't know enough about automatics to know if my theory is plausable yet.  Maybe there are other issues, but a new filter produced great shifting - at least initially - both times.  Why it's plugging up is the question.
