More on this: After reading about this on here, I headed down to my high school buddy's place about 150 Miles from home.
I used 8 gal to get there, I tightened the bolts to 100 In Lbs, found ALL of them loose about 1 full turn, couldn't do the #1 or #2
bolt in the sequence as there is a pressure switch type thing facing down toward the bolt, so used a open end, and did the best
I could. Some of the indications: I noticed when pressing down lightly on the gas, it used to convert automatically from 5th (OD) to 4th gear.
before the tightening, it didn't respond well, and I blamed my less than 26 MPG on rear tires, now it converts GREAT, and I only used
6.5 Gals coming home, and the MPG avg, hit 26.6, which I have NOT seen in a long time. The transmission downshifting, usually has
what they call a modulator, used to be (Vacuum controlled), this one also must be, as it works MUCH better now !
Thanks to all who supplied the Correct info on this item, and helped me get this done.
I wanted to use LOck tite on the bolts. You would have to pull the fuel racks to do this, I NEVER have done this, so I didn't do it.:cool2::cool2::cool2:
BTW, I ONLY have 45K miles on this, you would think they are NOT loose at this point, Murphy's law got me again !
