Ok guys, I need your help urgently.
The AOD is in the car, Lokar tv cable and everything else is in place.
The trans has been freshly rebuilt and has a B&M shift kit installed.
The instructions say to use the spacer on the tv cable and adjust it so that the pressure is 35 psi, idling in neutral with the engine at operating temperature and the trans oil luke warm.
Now it gets funny. Our idle pressure is 80psi!!, even with the tv cable fully loosened and no pull on the trans lever. Moving the tv cable doesn´t make any difference at all, only hitting the accelerator makes the pressure go up a little till about 85 or 90.
We are using the correct port to measure the pressure (the middle one on the passenger side) as depicted in Lokar´s literature and on numerous photos online.
We did of course not drive the car but the trans easily and crisply shifts into all the positions (PRND21) when I move the shifter.
Oil is at max level (Mercon V).
What´s going on here?
Did I buy a trans that´s toast?
Problem is, we have a deadline of two days to get it working.
