    M35A3 accelerator pedal adjustment

    I think I'm just going to take the truck back and pull the transmission myself. He quoted me 1200 to 1500 for a rebuild. He also said though that if we already had it pulled it would be less than that. Oh well, it's time it was rebuilt anyway Thanks everyone for the help

    M35A3 accelerator pedal adjustment

    The owner before me only had it a few months before another 2-1/2 ton hit the front of it and he sold it off. He only used it around his property to move stuff around. The owner before him I have no idea I guess we'll see what the transmission mechanic says when he opens it up

    M35A3 accelerator pedal adjustment

    That's a good idea, should probably change that now with how much burnt fluid has gone through it I think though that my overheat issue is because my torque converter isn't locking up It's in the shop now and my mechanic will take a look through his allison book and see what controls the lock up

    M35A3 accelerator pedal adjustment

The truck now shifts through all ranges no problem but it still overheats. It had actually done it before too, where normally it runs around 250, now it is running 275 and I...

    I've already read through all the TM's. They don't give much info other than "inspect modulator/adjust linkage"

    M35A3 accelerator pedal adjustment

    Yeah it certainly shifts faster when sufficiently warm. Some days it won't shift at all when it first goes out. I've run both 15w-40 and dexIII with only a slight improvement with the dexIII. But like I said, use the hand throttle and it shifts through all the gears like a champ.

    M35A3 accelerator pedal adjustment

    Sadly, my tachometer doesn't work right now, another project for another day. I am estimating by ear that it is around a higher rev rpm when I manually shift it, and it shifts fine, but as soon as it goes into "D" and hits that same high rev, I have to back the pedal off a bit and then it...

    M35A3 accelerator pedal adjustment

    Hello all! I just have a quick, yet persistent thing that I am having trouble accomplishing on my truck. So my M35A3 doesn't like shifting into fourth gear unless I creep the pedal back after it maxes out speed in third. If I use the hand throttle, it'll shift through all gears no problem. Once...
