Truck acting a little funky after trans go install...
Installed the trans go today and the truck likes to start off from 2nd gear when pulling away from a light normally. If I add a little throttle to it it will down shift into 1st but all in all it will start off in second, why is that? I already had the billet servos in the truck as well and no washers are in the acc. Also when I was installing the kit I didnt have the "purple" spring that goes in the valve body. Could that be the problem? If I need to give any more information that I left out please let me know.
Thanks,
Sean

Where does the purple spring go ?
Did you mess with the little black box on the drivers side of the tranny where the cable is hooked up to it and goes into the tranny?

Hey sean, did you assemble the 2nd accum the right way? Its *** backwards from they way you pull it out, so that can be confusing. Did the housing and the piston look ok on the 2nd accum? Some people replace the piston because its plastic and some have had problems with that. Mostly bogging problems after it shifts to 2nd but its most likely the culprit in my thoughts. You got all the check ***** in the right area too? I'll call you in a little bit.

If you are looking at the instruction manual. The page where you install the new valves and springs into the valve body. If you look at the bottom left hand side of the page you will see where you have to put this "purple" spring in place of another spring. It is located right above one of the solenoids that is by itself as per looking at the instruction page. I am going to give transgo call this morning and see I can get some head way.
Thanks fellas,
Sean

Let us know what they say. Only other thing I could think of is that maybe the manual detent cable is out of line or something. Did you get all the bolts in the right place on the valve body?

Well, you're going to want all the springs in the VB as per the manual.
Also Flyer has a point with the bolts, if they are installed incorrectly you can hve problems...
Did you grind the manual valve properly?
