I have had constant issues with this trans shifting hard from 1-2 and 2-3. The trans was rebuilt but I am wondering if the springs in the valve body are incorrect (to weak?) My mechanic, he is 84 years old and worked on these cars when he first started in the trade, mentioned its all to do with the throttle rods coming from the carburator to the rod going to the trans. He has adjusted it multiple times but I continue to get a hard slamming shift (makes the drive train bang), hesitation when accelerating from a stop or backfiring thru the carb. (he rebuilt the original Autolite). I was wondering if anyone had pictures of the original throttle rods and their length.
I have had this car on the road since 2011, that's when I completed the restoration. I would like to solve this problem once and for all as the car will be going up for sale this month.
If anyone is looking for a 1960 Tbird that's totally redone I am asking $19,000.00 U.S. ($23,900.00 Canadian)
