OD trans issue
Ok so I got my stalling and hesitation problem fixed it was the carb, re-man installed problem solved..
Now for another this one "should" be easy..
it is a 1984 F150 it has the the 302 motor and auto OD trans... when it shifts into and out of OD it shifts hard, I drained pan and added some new fluid but topped off with Lucas it's still doing it and has not changed...if I drive it in drive all works fine just no OD..
any suggestions on where to start..
I feel most tranny issue could be avoided if people would just service regularly.. it might be too late for this one it has about 140k on and a flush would be risky..do you think a few more drain and fills would help?.....or is it time to go to a trans shop..
even thought about changing out for non-OD trans.

You may not have the TV cable adjusted properly, with the carb change.
But a firm shifting trans will last longer due to the clutch discs not slipping as much.
I would check for proper adjustment of the TV cable though.

Lmao!!! Really? Maybe there aint many here who have experience with your tranny or problem. Maybe the guy with the answer doesnt get on every day. Its been 22hrs. Wow man. Judging by your pic you must pray. If i were you i would pray for patience.
