Would anybody know where I can get a line pressure test done on my auto.
Gearbow is flaring during change from 2nd to 3rd, have been told by the guy who built I need to test the line pressure at idle and in drive while giving the accelarator a quick stab. Need to atach a pressure guage that can read up to 300 psi. Gearbox builder is in SA so thats why i'm doing the test here, hoping I dont have to pull the box and send it over there :( dont like my chances but. Have contacted a number of businesses but they dont have any thing that will read that high a pressure.

Considered getting a local auto trans specialist to check pressures?

^ Have called 3 or 4 and they said they cant do it, something about not having a guage to read 300 psi or they dont want to. I think I'll just buy a guage and do it myself, cant be that hard.

Do you have a trans temp gauge?
Maybe its getting a little hot
Probably best to do it yourself, then you have the gauge for next time (or when i need it)
I will find out tomorrow if i can get hold of one for you to use.
Sorry to hear your having problems, I hope its not a common issue:(

May be stupid question but got enough fluid in it?

and also make sure the kickdown cable is extending out all the way on full throttle but im sure mike has already been through that with you.

Fluid is ok :)
It is only doing it in 3rd and more so from 2nd up to 3rd, going from 4th to 3rd it changes ok, Jason noticed it was a little soft on the change when he got it back from mike, but it has gotten worse since I have had it.Mike has had me check a couple of things to try and sus it out before it gets to the point of sending it to him, line pressure test is one of them :)
