A serving of TRANS-X fixed this for me on both Torqueflites, but it did take around the specified 500 miles of use for it to kick in on the Plymouth (but only maybe a 100 miles or so on the DeSoto). -Dave From: Forward Look Mopar Discussion List [mailto:L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tallfins

Subject: Re: [FWDLK] TORQUEFLITE OPERATION QUESTION Years ago, when I took my 57 Belvedere in for transmission problems, the mechanic called it exactly that; morning sickness. I'd have to wait a good 5-7 minutes before I even attempted to drive anywhere, but once it was thoroughly warmed, it was fine. I ended up having the transmission rebuilt just so I'd know it was okay and dependable. -----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: [FWDLK] TORQUEFLITE OPERATION QUESTION Might be a slightly different symptom but when you get slippage in the morning the tranny guys call it 'morning sickness,' I believe it is partly caused by the old seals in the clutch pack servos etc getting hard and stiff from heat & age . . . I had that exact same problem once in my 64 Dodge driver years ago. The colder it got the longer it stayed stuck in first. Once it shifted, it was fine afterwards until it cooled off again. I assumed it was caused by varnish in the valve body sticking a check ball. It went away forever immediately with a fliud change. > HELLO MEMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! > Does this happen to anyone???????????? > My cast iron TF runs fine.......... > BUT--In vey cold weather,,,,or when its been sitting for a month,,the > first time it goes for the 1st-2nd shift,,,,it holds first for QUITE a > while, even at light throttle. > The next 1st 2nd shift is sooner > By the 3rd time,,its a normal progression of 1st-2nd > My own thought is a poorly lubricated governor weight or > valve?????????? which is somewhat sticking' ??? ************************************************************* ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to
