My 200-4R will almost rip your head off your shoulders at anything from just above idle to 1/8 throttle.
Problem:
However, this is not the case when accelerating harder. The further down the pedal is to the floor for the 1/2 shift, the sloppier it is. A full throttle 1/2 shift yields a full fledged (feels like the trans is junk) slip shift. Any thoughts on what I'm looking at here? I'd like it to shift hard as I get into it, not when I'm just putting around. The slipping is my main concern though. I should add that while the 2/3 and 3/OD shifts are also less firm the closer to full throttle you are, they don't seem to be slipping like the 1/2 shift.
Basic info as I know it:
I have an 87 GN with the 200-4R. It has the brf valve body and correct governor. (The governor has had some weight added to allow lower shift points for daily driving.) This trans was totally rebuilt about 15,000 miles ago by Level 10. Not trying to bad mouth them, I just wanted you all to know it wasn't rebuilt by Joe Shmoe. The convertor is a 12" locker rebuilt and re-stalled to 2,800-3,000 by Pat's in Philly.
Thanks!
