torque convertor?

[IB14A69]

I noticed that on my 2-3 shift on easy/moderate throttle that the rpms will just up about 200 after it shifts from second. Are there any TSB's out there for this condition?
Is the torque convertor starting to fail?
The vehicle is a 1993 80 seriers. 4.5 liter.

No. There are no TSB's on the torque converter.

Try adjusting the length on the kickdown cable for the tranny. Also search kickdown adjustment.

Any others out there with this condition? I havent tried to adjust the kick down linkage yet like posted above but would that be the cause for it only happening from 2-3 shift? Any help about how to adjust or check the linkage?

The 93 and above tranny's have solenoids that shift the gears. Number 2 solenoids could be going out. Have you run codes on the tranny yet?

When you depress the skinny penal two things happen. One, you open up the butterfly in the throttle body and two you tell the tranny that your engine rpm is increasing. The tranny needs to shift according to rpm, this is accomplished with the kickdown cable. You could have a slight adjustment that is needed.
