Hello everyone,
I am not sure where I should introduce myself, but I am completely new to this forum.
My name is Marcel Moret, I imported a original blackplate cougar from california december 2009. Driving it is so much fun, there are very few american classics on the roads here, especially early model cougars are very rare in The Netherlands. People seem to be always interested and intriged with the "remmington-grill" hide-away lights.
I have been strugling with a question regarding my automatic transmission.
There is currently a later model engine (71 302) in my 67 cougar and I think the transmission is a 71 as well. its a standard dual range c4 as far as my knowledge stretches.
When I drive normally, everything is well, responsive trothle, kickdown and accelration seem to be normal.
However, when I slow down and the transmission shifts back to first gear, there is a rather loud metal-sounding-clunk, you can also feel the hasher downshift.
This is only when it is in regular drive, D. when I switch to "sport-mode" or "2" there's no sound or hash down shift.
Could this be due to a faulty valve or something? I have checked the transmission fluid level and it apears to be correct (it's very hard to see the hot transmission fluid on the dipstick, because it's so thin)
