Swapped a 400 small block into my 70K mile '80 Malibu 229 V6 car. I knew the stock TH200C wouldn't last too long, but I figured if I was nice to it I could milk it until I had a TH350 to swap in.
I adjusted the TV cable the way you're supposed to: loosen it up and then let it pull out until at full throttle and lock in the setting. It shifted okay for the first week or so but after a full throttle run through all three gears letting it shift itself, it now has a delayed 1-2 shift and then usually goes right into third.
I've tried the cable a little looser and a little tighter. A little tighter makes it shift a little sooner but not much. The dipstick still shows nice pink fluid and no burnt smell. Could it be some kind of governor or something causing the delayed 1-2 shift? 3-4 seems fine.
Any ideas would me most appreciated!

I kinda predicted it would happen.
