transmission update
I previously had the following problems.
High winding noise in 2nd gear selector
Would not upshift out of second
I replace the kickdown solenoid and housing
Changed fluid and filter
Took apart valve body and cleaned it (possibly installed some springsin wrong places)
Then i tries driving it. The jowling noises went away when the selwctor was in second. But still no upshift. So i took out the kickdown relay and disconnected bowden cable. It will shift out of second now. I am confident the modulator is not at the right pressure. But whats wro.g with the bowden cable and relay. I hope disconnecting the cable will work for now i am at the carwash i hate it when my car is dirty

HA!
You do know them!
What we are missing is a Dwayne-style write up on a complete refresh of the automatic.
Rob could snap the pictures.
You'd sell more parts than you'd ever rebuild in transmissions.

And then, if the part could be bought for $.25 cheaper from someone else, I'd proovide all the knowledge for no return. Part of the big problem, today, is that people will spend 3 hours (usually while at work), looking at every site they can find on the Internet, to save a couple of bucks.

I do not consider them to be simple.
Thinking about what a non-professional could do to one of these things, is pretty scary.

thinking about it, the guy i took to diagnose my transmission, he was easy to say i needed a rebuilt one, and it was stuck in 2nd not 1st. it was flaring in 2nd until i disconnected the bowden cable and remove the kickdown relay "now reverse does not work , no flaring, but atleast it will go past 40mph without 6,000 rpm.
