Did you do a total rebuild or just a basic overhaul? I'm trying to decide which one I'll do. I feel if I have it out and apart, it would be dumb not to do a total rebuild.

Just picked up a 383 727 car with no kick down linkage hooked up. Been researching it. If your car was a 2bbl carb car upgraded to 4 bbl car and the linkage was not changed to the right set it can cause problems.
JUst trowing it out there. Hate to see anyone rebuild a trans only to have it start slipping again.
Here is is a good article on kick down linkage problems.
