Fluid change, and why the hell did you get up to 8,000rpm? I am not even sure that is possible even with a carb(stock setup)

[xxxfrankensteinxxx]

I've went past 8000 but only for a few seconds cause it was in the middle of road. I'll try a fluid change i did one not to long ago but well see

Also, check the TV cable adjustment.

gonna do a tranny flush tomorrow is it safe to use a a air compressor to blow it out? also im putting in some lucas hope it helps, will also check adjustment

[russiankid]

From what I hear Lucas doesn't really help, but I could be wrong. I wouldn't use an air compressor, you may blow some crap into areas where it will really harm the tranny.

I get the feeling you are about to make a big mess of your tranny. Take it to a shop have it properly flushed.

I was thinking the same. Best thing to do is drain the fluid. Pour some fresh fluid in, drive it around for a little bit, and repeat several times.

yeah they have special machines that do flushes or do the russiankid way if you have enough money for 2 or 3 flushes.

thanks guys i didnt do the air compressor just threw it up on ramps and drained her, threw in some lucas at first and topped her off with some castrol, she was leaking out ot the tranny at first but after i started her up i havent noticed any leaking and has been running fine, still gotta adjust the shifting tho, next up is motor oil change lol thanks guys,
