I guess you have tried accelerating slowly...

I find it's impossible to hear my savage shift if I go full throttle... :P

Could be dirt inside the transmission.

Have you tried cleaning it ?

Yes i tried the slo thing to no avail.If i,m going to open the tranny up is there any maintainence or gears i should replace while i have it open.

i find that if its a little cool out then i have to wait awhile for it to warm up then it shifts just fine.

I've driven my truck in -4 Fahrenheit and less, several times, and it was still shifting perfectly.

But I Could have been lucky.

There are a few bearings there you might consider changing, but I'm not that into Transmissions.

Also, clean with alcohol, but do not lubricate in any way. NO OIL !

Hey guys i fixed it,its shifing like a new truck,while i had it apart i did a few things like the throttle mod.I also lost two servo savers in the steering bell crank an i didnt have another and i didnt want to wait so i made my own an i have to say i did my self proud it turned out very smooth.
