Well guys I have been screwin' with my 47RE for long enough and it's time to enlist the help of my peers. I have a shift problem with my DTT Valve Body, thought it was because it was a 2001 V/B, so I got a 1997 version from DTT. After messing with it for 5 weeks, the damn thing still only shifts from 1-2 at 1200 RPM, then almost immediately right into 3rd and quickly there after lockup at part throttle. At WOT from a stop, it goes right into 2nd at 1200, bogs, revs to 2000, hits 3rd, then locks up and bogs again, at this point its barely at 30mph.
I thought it was a TV cable problem, so I bent the crap out of the TV cable holder there on the transmission, all the way back till it's touching where the fluid line exits the case. I still cant get the full travel out of the level so that it's bottomed out at WOT, it's got about 1/2" left of travel.
So do I need a new TV cable or should I fab something to get more travel out of the lever? Or should I be adjusting the other parts on the valve body? I saw a thread a while ago where guys were using the set screw and the pressure lever stop screw on the side of the V/B to adjust shift points and pressure. I dont care if the thing shifts like my Full Manual Valvebody Drag Car trans, but I need it to shift higher at WOT and Part throttle. Like 1700-1800 part throttle and 3200ish full. Obviously it was supposed to be setup to do this from DTT, but I think the issues are on my end...I hope.
