700r4 WOT Shift Point HELP!
Well as it states above I am trying to get the shift points right on my 700r4. I have the TCI shift point correction kit and many stock springs and weights. Right now I am running the Corvette body and playing with the springs. No matter what I do, I end up with a 1-2 upshift that is MUCH higher than the 2-3. 1-2 is now occuring with the engine bouncing off the 6K rev-limiter and 2-3 is happening a full 1,000 rpm earlier at 5K. I have tried so many combinations of weights and springs. I am tired of climbing under the darn thing and removing the governor, swapping stuff, and climbing back under to re-install. I know I will eventually get it right, but any tips would be appreciated. I am about ready to rip this 700r4 out and install a 60E, I am that tired of messing with it.

I'm fascinated by this, as I have honestly never looked at the tach at the top of second gear. Sounds impossible, huh? Anyway, good luck!
