Ok so i'll give a rundown of what I've done and what the results are.
I didn't add any elements of the Tv Made EZ kit by bowtie yet.
Pulled the pan. It had some clutch material in there. Obviously not what you want to see, but it wasn't an alarming amount. Fluid was so clean it was a shame to dispose of. Some say any clutch material in there and your transmission is DONE, others say it's normal as long as it doesn't look like the pan was dragged through a mud puddle. So lets assume the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Check the tv linkage. Everything looked good. Tested the linkage. Flooring the car gets the TBI to WOT. When the TV cable is re-adjusted it clicks once. When floored the TV linkage pushes the plunger all the way in and everything is tight and there is no play. Plunger returns to "home" position a little slow. Not much. Not sure if it matters.
Checked the governor. All seemed well. Changed the speedo gears both on the gov and in the transmission to match the new rear.
I explained the situation to the guy who built the transmission. He told me TBI systems "never have good geometry" and sold me this $10 geometry corrector. It was the type where you essentially put a spring and retainer on the TV cable at the throttle linkage. It changes the geometry of the Tv movement in it's own way. As I suspected this did not work well. The transmission shifted very hard, very late clunked badly when up shifting. I pulled that off after 30 yards of driving.
When we did do was change the filter, and on the advice of a different transmission shop(the guy who had the governor plate gaskets in stock) I pulled the light spring off of the gov. I figured internally I had to change something just for kicks.
Ultimately with the governor spring removal 1-2 was more like what I wanted. A little later and I little harder but is immediately bangs from 2-3 right after that and 4th not longer after that. I have bought a test gauge and had a 7 ft hydraulic hose made. I plan to pressure test this weekend to see what's going on internally.
I'd love any thoughts on the above information.
