TH350 skips 2nd gear
Hi All,
Well, the weather stated getting nice here, so I took the Nova out for a spin. I noticed under hard acceleration the car shifts straight from 1st to 3rd, it skips 2nd gear altogether. Under normal cruising/driving it shifts from 1st-2nd-3rd just fine. Also shifts fine if I shift manually. Its a fresh (under 1000 miles) TH350 by TCI, yes vacuum is hooked up to manifold vacuum. Any ideas whats causing this problem?
Just a thought, but what would be the symptoms of a bad modulator? or bad governor?
Any input is appreciated. Id rather solve this myself before paying the tranny guy to fix it.
Thanks guys.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
