Just want to verify these issues are covered in the new guide for pre-80 transmissions...just had the transmission throttle linkages adjusted and added the recommended LucasOil. After a few hundred miles, the transmission now flares between 2-3rd and redlines for many seconds before a shift from 1st to second (but only sometimes). It also seems to engage two gears simultaneously sometimes for a short time.
This is the pre 3-2 valve transmission...so it doesn't have a vacuum modulator, does it? I also noticed, when inspecting, it leaks out the passenger side through an adjustment(?) bolt that has five copper crush washers shoehorned in there where I would think a locknut should be if it is for adjustment of a band. The inconsistency of symptoms indicates to me it may be a modulation issue of some kind.
Thanks in advance.
