C6 Shfting Soft

Hello,

I have a '68 429 in a '78 Bronco with a C6.

I recently put a new TCI converter in it, I believe it was stated as "3-400 RPM" over stock stall speed. I haven't yet figured out what exactly the stall speed is.

The trans also has a TCI valve body, B&M shift kit and a B&M light truck megashifter.

Oh and the 429 has a lopey cam with a .519 lift, so it's only got like 10"s of vaccuum.

So after the new converter, it shifts really soft. I can hardly feel it shift. A friend of mind said that's from the higher stall speed. Even when I shift it manually, it's barely felt.

Put a pressure gauge on it and the pressure is ok. Dad rode with me today for a test drive and gave me the "I don't think there's anything wrong with it." I dunno, I just find it hard to believe that this is normal.


Any thoughts from ya'll? Thanks in advance.
