1954 Chevrolet truck Hydra-Matic transmission

1954 Servicing the Chevrolet Truck Hydra-Matic Transmission - Part 1 - Maintenance and Adjustments

Have you disconnected and re-connected the linkage? If not, you might get by with just a few adjustments.

I'd start with the adjustment at the bottom of this page - special tools are needed for earlier adjustments in this booklet. NOTE: this adjustment is quite sensitive - change it just a little for large differences in shift-points.
