B&M 70239 SHIFT IMPROVER KIT - Manual (Page 10)

SERVICE
For best performance of your TH-
700 we recommend changing both
the ATF and filter every 15,000 miles
(25,000 km) if the vehicle is driven
under one (or more) of the following
conditions:
A. High performance applications
where the vehicle is regularly
driven hard.
B. In heavy city traffic where the out-
s i d e t e m p e r a t u r e r e g u l a r l y
reaches 90 F (32 C) or higher.
C. In hilly or mountainous terrain.
D. Uses such as taxi, police car or
delivery service.
If you do not use the vehicle under
10
any of these conditions, change the
ATF and filter every 50,000 miles
(80,000 km). It’s also a good idea to
check the torque converter bolts when
servicing the transmission.
Diagnosis procedure
If you experience a performance
problem after installing the Shift Im-
prover Kit, it can generally be traced
to either an Improperly set TV Cable
or a Mis-installed component in the
valve body or pressure regulator. The
following procedure along with the
trouble shooting guide will assist you
to correct the problem.
1. Check and correct ATF level.
2. Check TV Cable adjustment
(See Fig. 13).
3. If engine performance indicates
an engine tune up is required, this
should be completed before road
testing or transmission correction
is attempted. Poor engine perfor-
mance can sometimes be mistaken
for transmission problems.
4. Check and correct vacuum lines
and fittings.
5. Check and correct shifter
linkage.
6. Install oil pressure gage and
check line pressures. Compare
pressures with appropriate values
from Figure 14.
