Hello All,
My 75 ran and shifted great until it developed a fuel leak at the carburetor.
After having the carburetor rebuilt, now my transmission doesn't want to shift out of 1st. Fluid level is fine and the only change was the carb being rebuilt.
Any ideas where to start looking? All help appreciated.

OK, I checked both ends and they seem fine, but I replaced the hoses anyway.
Shifts great until it warms up (car never gets above 195*) and then it won't shift again. Should I consider a new vacuum modulator?

Mine never completely stopped shifting but there were times after it was warmed up that it only really just eased from 2nd to 3rd. I replaced my modulator and the problem went away. '72 TH400....

I put in a new modulator and thought it was all good. Drove for about 45 minutes with no problem, shifting OK.
Later I went for a drive and got on it some, now no more shifting again.
Any other ideas?
