Caprice Acting up

I loosen a cooler line fitting and do my own fluid replacement on the 4L60E.
I put in some Dexron VI and won't have to do again for another 50K miles hopefully.
Simple, effective, and quite messy if you're not careful...

 

Why don't you start by telling us whether the car has the 307 Olds motor or the 305 Chevy motor, since either could have been installed.

 

i had mentioned back in post 3 that it has a 305, but it was kind of mixed in the middle of the paragraph.



i put a zip tie around the pressure cable and its too thick, it shifts too late now.

im wondering if a vaccum problem would cause anything, its not wanting to stay in OD either, and i was hoping the cable would be the remedy there also

 

I really wish you wouldn't have done that, Jase. It doesn't take but a few hundred feet to trash that tranny if the balance is forced way off. Do you have a pic of your engine? Joe P has a point.

 

it was already having the OD problem also but the really irritating part was the early shift.


its a 305

 

Well...oddly...they were all CALLED a 305 but a few were actually a Chevy 305 but most were the Olds 307 that were, for some reason, called a 305. That's why a pic would be good....unless you KNOW it's an actual Chevy 305.

 

its a chevy 305, canadian block. oil fill in the valve cover, Not behind the Alternator.
