Friends,
I have a 727 (70's, with part throttle kickdown vb) 360 combo in my Satellite that I have been driving for years with no big issues, several cross country road trips and mixed driving. 3-4 years ago I freshened it up with some band adjustments and sent the VB off to get checked. My kick down is adjusted correctly and previously worked great. Shift points were around 5k 1-2 full throttle and around 5400 2-3. Suited my driving fine. Lately, it has been acting up- won't do part throttle kick down anymore, has to be floored. And now my 1-2 shift is around 4k rpm at full throttle. Shifts still feel firm, it's just the shift map is way off as if the kickdown is out of adjustment. Again - haven't changed any setting since it worked perfectly, checked entire kick down path everything is correct. What gives? Am I losing pump pressure?
