AOD shifts into high too quick

[jjjjjgrant]

my 89 gt has alot of engine mods, as well as shift kit and 2800 stall converter. when
i run it hard through the gears manually shifting, pulls hard 1st and partialy into 2nd, but then suddenly shifts into third way too soon. . i have adjusted the TV when i first started driving it, and i'm afraid to mess with it any more until someone tells me i should. if that will correct the problem, what does it need to be set at with the mods i've mentioned? email me direct if possible.

Thanks, jeff

Does it go into OD when the shifter is in the "D" position?

How long ago was the shift kit put in?

i had that problem with my 87(tv), i was told it had to be hooked up to a machine becaue its adjusted by pressure.

When I first installed my shift kit I had the same thing. I taught it though. I kept in the "D" position all the time till I reached high speeds then put it into "OD". After a while it starts doing the same by itself.

The plague of an aod, the only real cure is a lentech vb with electronic od delete. The high rev governor kit helps.

trans has about 6k miles since it was rebuilt with shift kit and converter, it did pretty much same when it was stock, but i thought the shift kit would change it. doesn't bother me normal driving conditions, but when i do decide to flex a little muscle it bothers me and if i were to race it, i know it would suck.

i dont know too much about my aod, other than i cant wait to get rid of it...

but i always shift 1-D-1 which is second... then when i want 3rd gear i shift D... works like a charm

why does my convertible spin so bad

what makes an aod really do that bad is a set of low ratio rear end gears. as mentioned, a high-rev governor will fix the problem. a different valve body is also a solution.
