Working on a 54 Hornet, after driving about 45 minutes the Two/one downshift is very harsh. Any one ever come accross this?

    try adjusting the throttle pressure rod. offhand i think lengthening it a little should correct it though it may be the other way. are your upshifts too quick as well?

    Does anyone have an "easy" method of adjusting the rod or is it just trial and error? Is the adjustment the same for the Borg Warner trans?

    To adjust the throttle rod , I take a set of wrenchs with me on the road and adjust it until it's good.

    Usually it doesn't take 45 minutes to show up, it sounds like it could be too much throttle pressure. Is the engine idling a little too fast? that is also a symptom. I would start at square one with a complete linkage adjustment . Ken Cates stepdown page has the correct procedure,because it all has to work together to work right . Hudsonly Lou Cote
