Unhappy Re: shifting

It could be a lot of things. Could be the governor in the trans has thrown a spring off.

Trying to remotely diagnose a 20+ year old vehicle remotely can be a bit difficult. Especially if the owner is not able to aid much in the task.

If you really want it to run optimally, I would suggest the aid of http://anderson-performance.com/ as they are fairly close by.

I'm here looking for info.
I have a 69 Skylark, just put in 2004r I bought rebuilt from a guy at the track. Does the same as yours, 1 then 2 then 3,4 and lug.
Bowtie OD said it may be someone had installed a check ball in the lock-up solenoid actuator. I pulled it out, no check ball. Then i pulled the valve body for inspection and cleaning. put it back in same thing.
I spoke to Jerry at TCI, he was very helpful. In the end he suggested i buy one of his VB rebuild kits $80.00. I don't know, but i will soon.

Exclamation Re: shifting

Really should have started a new thread, Flatire...

Do you have any idea what the trans and valve body are out of? Are you trying to set up for lockup? The pump is where that needs to be set.

Really would be best to stay away from the "big names" (i.e. TCI, etc.) when it comes to the 200-4R and stick to the TR crowd with them. They know the most and make all the innovations for them happen.

It's an early trans from an Olds, 81 or 82.
I do have a 2200 lock-up converter, but no power wired yet,
one thing at a time.
