I think I finally got the cable adjusted where it does best. Guess I should hook up trailer to test it with a load.

Thanks guys. It really helps y'all telling me which way to start out. Re-adjusted the cable and I'll see how that works.

Did a little testing on the way home from work today. At WOT shifts fine 1-2 but won't shift 2-3 until I let off a touch. Which way should I turn?

Mine is not repetitive. It only does this downshift one time at about 30mph. The conditions have to be just right to make this happen. I will try the TV cable adjustment. The only thing I remember was that last time i did this, I spent HOURS trying to get it right.

So I should adjust the cable so it shifts 2-3 at 2800rpm at full throttle?

I didn't change the TV cable adjustment. The transmission still shifts at the very same points. If the TV adjustment was off now, wouldn't that have changed?

Darn it!!! All that work and parts and now under light throttle between 30-40mph it downshifts some times. Didn't do that before. Everything else seems fine. Shifts great under acceleration.

Got it back together today. New snap rings, frictions, and steels in the overdrive. Replaced OD solenoid, Transducer, GM solenoid setup, billet front servo, and band strut. Made a short test drive and everything seems good. Thanks to everyone for the info and talking me through it. Oh, I did it...

That does make sense. Thanks

Why would Red Eagles be a bad choice?

Got it out and apart. The snap ring was in 6 pieces, but all parts are accounted for. The OD Clutch pack (6 and 6) looks pretty worn, but the OD/Direct Clutch (11 and 12 single sided) pack looks great. Everything else looks good as far as I can tell. Anyone know what the replacement part numbers...

Thanks. Should I go ahead and replace all the frictions and steels in the OD unit while it's out? After all, the truck has 306,000 miles on it.

While the pan is off and the OD unit removed what should I do to improve trans durability?

Thanks. I saw that same page about 5 minutes ago. From looking at the manual, I should be able to remove the OD unit with the trans in the truck and replace the snap ring if nothing else is damaged?

Lately, my 2004 48RE has been acting up. While driving at a steady freeway speed, 60-70mph, the trans acts like it "skips" or unlocks the converter for less than a second. It happens so fast, it's hard to nail down. Sometimes once or twice in a 45 minute drive, sometimes 20-30 times in the same...
