Just curious of a few things...

Isn't there a bracket you can bend/adjust to get more pressure in the tranny? Don't know if it's that simple but that what I've heard..

I could be crazy, but I swear my tranny shifts softer once switching over to the Smarty. Can a programmer REALLY increase line pressure? Also, I was having a hard time shifting into overdrive when I had my Predator, and now with the Smarty it goes into overdrive PERFECT everytime, so it does lead me to think that maybe the Predator was somehow adding more pressure and the tranny didn't like it in overdrive? I liked the lightning quick shifts with the Predator though..

I'll be pulling my pan off in the near future for another mod anyway, so is there a simple tweak in the trans I can make for a bit more firm shifts and a little more "grippy" transmission?

ADJUSTMENTS - VALVE BODY
CONTROL PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS
There are two control pressure adjustments on the valve body;

Line Pressure
Throttle Pressure
Line and throttle pressures are interdependent because each affects shift quality and timing. As a result, both adjustments must be performed properly and in the correct sequence. Adjust line pressure first and throttle pressure last.

LINE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT



1 - WRENCH
2 - 1–5/16 INCH


Measure distance (2)(Line Pressure Adjustment) from the valve body to the inner edge of the adjusting screw with an accurate steel scale. Distance should be 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.). If adjustment is required, turn the adjusting screw in, or out, to obtain required distance setting.
NOTE: The 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.) setting is an approximate setting. Manufacturing tolerances may make it necessary to vary from this dimension to obtain desired pressure.

One complete turn of the adjusting screw changes line pressure approximately 1-2/3 psi (9 kPa).

Turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise increases pressure while turning the screw clockwise decreases pressure.


THROTTLE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT



1 - HEX WRENCH (IN THROTTLE LEVER ADJUSTING SCREW)
2 - SPECIAL TOOL C-3763 (POSITIONED BETWEEN THROTTLE LEVER AND KICKDOWN VALVE)


Insert Throttle Setting Gauge Tool C-3763 between the throttle lever cam and the kickdown valve stem (2)(Throttle Pressure Adjustment).
Push the gauge tool inward to compress the kickdown valve against the spring and bottom the throttle valve.
Maintain pressure against kickdown valve spring. Turn throttle lever stop screw until the screw head touches throttle lever tang and the throttle lever cam touches gauge tool.
NOTE: The kickdown valve spring must be fully compressed and the kickdown valve completely bottomed to obtain correct adjustment.
