I currently shift at 16, 24. haven't driven enough to find a consistent upshift speed into 4th.
fluid level is correct.
If you have big tires your actual speed will be slower on your guage, which is good, because all my reading says 1st to 2nd should happen between 17-20 and sooner shifts is bad for trans. Sounds like you might actually be shifting closer to 20 into 2nd and 30 into 3rd. Im using a gps unit that just plugs into my cig lighter to check my speeds.

I keep reading that after a rebuild 4th acts up but eventually works again. I know yours was working and recently quit so I don't know if that applies... I know lots of people wont believe it but that's what I keep reading. The other thing I read was driving til it shifts to 2nd then turn key off, then crank back up in neutral, then shift into OD again. Something about fluid movement but I cant remember now.
