ok i know i have many post about transmission problems and what not.but here it is. I got this transmission from a 1993 volvo 940 (aw71) with unknown mileage on it. The trans fluid was red so i figured in good condition. Well I drop the Transmission and forgot to disconnect the kick-down cable, so it got pulled out of the valve body. I took off the pan and found no damage was done to the kick-down cable spool. I pulled the valve body and did the accumulator mod. I cut the shims to the length of the springs, but the 2nd piston i changed on from a flay piston to the one with the spring on top of it, (it come from the other aw71 that was in my car) i changed over everything. I did cut the shim 1/8 shorter then the spring on the 2nd pistons. I have put everything back in now and have the 940 transmission in my car now. I have adjusted and adjusted the kick-down cable and i cannot get it to shift into 3rd on its on. I have to let off the pedal for a few seconds and get back on it. if you drop the gear shift in to second then but in to drive it shifts in to 3rd like nothing. I also can't get it to shift into OD. when i am driving at 50+mph. I do not have the OD solenoid. I girded it down so I could get OD on the other AW71 that was in my car, so i just swaped it over. The transmission level is on the spot. I have checked it by driving for 30mins then going through all the gears then leaving it in D to check the dipstick. The level is between the little min and max marks. It feels like maybe theres a problem with the valve body maybe?? I don't know what else to do. I have thought about switching the valve body from my other aw71 into the 940 aw71. Could it be the governor causing this too? Someone please help me out on this.When I instilled the tq I didnt fill it back up with transmission fluid. I figure once I put transmission fluid in the transmission it fill the tq back up. Most of the transmission fluid was dumped out of it.
