Default 1986 f150 transmission adjustment
I have a 1986 f150 302 efi. The transmission shifts way too early after I had a rebuilt put in. Any way to adjust it? Thanks

It may be a combo of the converter and a shift kit . Probably be better to let a tranny shop look at or do it.

Sounds like the springs in the valve body are weak.

Nope, it wasn't the converter, shift kit, or valves. All I did was adjusted the tv cable like the YouTube video said.
