1955 Cruise-O-Matic shift point??

[Thomas C Potter]

55 Tbird, it shifts at some 30 mph, assume from 2nd to 3rd, feels like 3rd. Way to high. Any adjustments to lower that shift point??

If it has a shift kit, how do I tell, and how do I take the shift kit components out?? Would it be all in the valve body?? I guess I need to find some OEM parts. oh boy....

Any one know of a Cruise-O-Matic expert??

Not familiar with it but if its shifts are controled by vacuum modulator, look for vacuum leaks, vacuum line off the VM or a bad vacuum modulator.

If the car sits a lot and it has a shift governor, they gum up and stick which causes all sorts of shifting issues.

Good luck with repair!
