This question is better asked in the driveline shop, so, I'll move it there for you.

There's a mechanical linkage from the carburetor to the transmission with a turnbuckle-type adjustment in it. To make the trans shift sooner, adjust the linkage so the small bellcrank on the side of the transmission does not travel as far when the throttle is opened. VERY small adjustments can make a big difference in shift points, so don't overdo it.
Longer answer- - - -Adjusting throttle pressure for a sooner, softer shift sometimes reveals a more serious problem- - - - -worn or maladjusted bands. You'll need a factory service manual to do a proper band adjustment. There aren't any real shortcuts to this procedure, and shade tree methods usually result in worse performance and possible internal damage. Jerry

Someday I hope to have my H-M back on the road - I am not looking forward to making those "touchy" adjustments, again. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2019 Posts: 3 Moderated | | Moderated Joined: Nov 2019 Posts: 3 | Appreciate the reply Jerry. I took her to a classic car mechanic to see if he could diagnose the issue and do the proper fix, I stressed to him that the H-M was different than the power glides but he was very confident that he could fix the issue. I’ll keep you guys posted on the repair.
