TBI is GM's name for it. Ford called it CFI, or Central Fuel Injection. Effectively the same design, electronic carb-like apparatus with a fuel infector in the middle of it.

Running it without the tv bushing is bad news...
There is a return spring for the tv rod up by the throttle body... you could make sure you have that. Make sure the spring is there and the tv rod quickly and completely returns to the throttle plate.

aamco around here are rip-offs and don't do repairs for crap. You're lucky if they can get an oil change right.

The guy that rebuilt my trans works at an Aamco or Cottman, not sure which now, but he does transmissions on the side. I'd have no qualms having another trans done by him, but I probably wouldn't go by the store to get it done. If he's doing it as a side job, likely he'll spend more time on it and be more thorough than just a basic bare minimum rebuild like the big chains tend to do.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

well the guy said he would change the case sleeves,the bushings,basically replace everything,and update everything, just not the converter,and I won't use the old one,just to make sure I won't ruin it again by getting crud in it from the inside of the old one. spending another 100$ for one is way better than having to spend another 850$ after just fixing it. Plus I've looked online at the reviews of the place and they all seemed positive about it. I was in the shop too watching him,and in the car as he drove it. It all seemed well what they did. So like I said, maybe this is 1-10000 shops that actually do their job.

That definitely would not fix my problem lol. The 1-2 friction plates are bad and need replaced, because with a load (on the ground) They don't grab and thats why it doesn't shift, but jack the back end up and act like your driving it normal, and it'll shift perfectly. Right after the aamco guy did that he immediately said it was the friction plate.

Originally posted by 84towncar View PostEverything seems good, The whole time I've owned the car (about maybe 2 years) It hasn't had the bushing,and it would shift fine,as long as it was connected. As soon as it would fall off, it wouldn't shift into second until it goes about 45 mph.
I have recently bought (one) bushing with clip...rip off.. 13$. And it is on there now,but it didn't fix the problem. Nor did changing the filter and fluid. Here's a picture of the cables/rod assembly.

Whoever decided not to use a tv bushing and monkey with the tv adjustment gave this trans an early retirement.
