1966 dodge monaco kickdown adjustment

speedy502 · Mar 25, 2013

i have a 1966 dodge monaco 2dr ht 383 4bbl auto. it shifts great 1st to 2nd but hesitates from 2nd to drive. once in drive it doesn't slip at all. was told my kickdown is out of adjustment. so i was wandering if anybody knows the correct adjustment? it is a 727 torqueflite with less than 5,000 miles on a rebuild.

Sounds like you have quite a fleet of C bodies. Can you post a few pictures?
