Check to see that the vacuum modulater connection didn't come loose. If it's still on ,maybe you have a vacuum leak you can eliminate by disconnectiing all the vacuum lines you can(plug the ports you disconnect)

I can sympathize. Just picked up our "new" '71 today with Turbo 400 transmission. Car runs and drives fine, but when I kicked it down to accelerate onto the interstate, the egine revs like crazy, but the transmission doesn't kick into passing gear (second gear?).

May also look at the governor, even with the modulator disconnected @ ~4800-5200rpm's the trans should shift. I would look at the modulator first though. As far as the shift kit goes this will not "fix" a mechanical problem somewhere else in the trans. If the trans is not shifting at all right now, the shift kit won't help.

proracr: The th400's do not have a mechanical TV cable. They have an electric solenoid that it activated by a switch under the gas pedal. The switches can get dirty or the solenoids can go bad to cause that problem. Look's like another electrical gremlin.
