hard shiftin?

i have a 1985 s10 blazer 4x4 with the 2.8 and the tahoe package, bought it about 2 years ago. i can't figure out why it shifts so hard. ill be goin fine in first then once its ready to go into second it kicks hard. gets worse the harder I accelerate. i've also been getting around 10 mpg.

what could be the trouble?:banghead:

Check and adjust TV cable.
How is the fluid and filter?
Any metal or grit in bottom of pan or filter.
Also if tv cable and TV valve m not sticking check governor valves and weights and gear.
Has anyone throwed in a shift kit?

On a normal take off what are your upshift MPH.
1-2 2-3 3-4 and lockup?

1-2=12mph 2-3=30 3-4=45 if you are talking about top speed for lockup then the answer is 84mph
no shift kit
no grit or metal in the filter or pan
and i use everthing lucas, which helped a little
i don't have an answer yet for the throttle valve or governor valve, but ill try to asap

Check TV valve and cabel for sticking.
Should have pressure and a 2 stage pull on cabel

they both seem to work fine. do u think i just need to have the tranny rebuilt?

Proper testing first.
May save rebuilding.
