Re: Kickdown adjustment

[Michael Neal <mneal@wco.com>]

Please note that if the ferrule is more than about 1/8 out you have either
a ferrule that has moved, very uncommon, or major problems.  Every time I
see a trans come back from a cheap rebuild shop they have not fixed the
original problem and have tried to compensate by over adjusting the shift
pressure.  They generally last about 3 to 6 months slamming into gear.
Usually a pump and governor are also required in these cases.  The problem
is that the shop can't provide their "cheap" rebuild with all these hard
parts added in.
