The Bowden cable was sort of the issue. The linkage was not placed corrected. When the throttle linkage moved, it was not pulling the cable at all. I clicked it over and it was like EUREKA! So, I just went for a drive and it downshifted, it delayed upshift as I was accelerating and it shifted into third! It’s like a rocket by comparison. Really!
So, the transmission was not shifting due to any input from the throttle. It was simply shifting based on a rev limit. So, it didn’t know I was accelerating and it never made it to third because I didn’t ever reach the rev limit for 4th. WOW! You guys are great! Thanks so much to Jamie and Meade!!! Now, I need to figure out the big clunk when it downshifts when I’m slowing down. Is that some sort of transmission mount? Donald H.
