Ok, there's absolutely nothing in the way, or rubbing or hitting.... But....... I found a nice pic of the TV linkage, and mine was not connected exactly the same...so I switched some things around, and I'm gonna give it another test run....Hope it was something that simple....

I'll report back shortly.

so I checked the fluid, gave it a test run, and still the same problem...

went under the hood and revved the motor... what do you know... the TV cable is sticking, and isn't returning to the set position after a big rev....

Ordering a new TV cable setup tonight....

I'm glad you said you had the same problem, and found the remedy.... Made me look harder for something binding.
 I would have been real upset if I swapped aods, and it still did it. :hick:

lol.... I worked real late last night.....

I installed the TV cable ...... still not working better, but way better then the old cable......

went to get a new O-ring for the dipstick tube, and said, "what the hell, I'm going to use the original dip stick"

filled it using the fluid I just drained, and added almost 2 more quarts to get it up to the full mark. Now everything is working the way it should be... guess the AOD out of a super coupe takes 2 more quarts then the others.... Who knew

So this concludes the AOD portion of the show.... now I got another problem.... Sounds like a pump somewhere under the hood is running dry after the car is running for about an hr or so.. not sure what it is, but is sounds like bearings grinding real bad.... Oh the fun of rebuilding a car from the bottom up

Jumping in late here, but the fluid level in my car is much higher than the mark when cold. It goes down after starting. I believe in my case it is because I have the aux cooler mounted so high that the fluid subsequently drains back when it's parked. It leaked like crazy until I put on a new fill tube seal.

Glad things are working out for you!

As long as we, are on the subject still.... What coolers are everyone using? Is there any diff between your basic trans cooler and the $200 coolers that they have? Also, should you connect it along with the rad, or on it's own? and should it have it's own cooling fan?

I have your basic cooler, but I disconnected it when I was trying to solve the AOD shifting problems. I thought it may have been clogged, and connected the lines to the rad. I'd still like to use it, but was just wondering if the basic unit was worth it, or should I upgrade

My research led me to a stacked plate unit with thermostatic switched fan in series with the rad cooler. Fluid out from trans, thru rad cooler then through the add-on cooler.

I plan on using one of these

http://bmracing.com/?wpsc_product_category=transmission-engine-coolers

Why use that when you can get from THEIR source?

Long makes the coolers for B&M.  I have one waiting to go in to replace my current one.  I'm going with the 4490.
