1934 Ford Pick Up,
2.3L,
I have installed an A4LD in a rat Rod 34 Ford pickup. It is not meant to be fast just a cruiser but I am having issues with getting it to shift correctly. I am using a 2.3 L turbo motor and the truck weighs about 2500# with a 2.59 rear (1.75 in OD) . I haven't got it shifting into OD or locking up the converter yet but it wants to downshift out of third to second with very little throttle input it is not getting into the TV cable yet.
I think the motor isn't spinning fast enough to keep up the pressure or maybe it isn't making enough power. This is one of the few sites that is actively talking about the A4LD. I am old and not real computer savvy but I have added a PimpX ECU to try to make this thing run and shift. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum. What year is the A4LD?
 












You do have manifold vacuum run to the vacuum regulator? You have the kick down cable installed and adjusted?
 






Welcome.
