The trans has been rebuilt and is original to the car , this was an ex drag car and has about a 2000+ stall converter, with the pan off the oil was very clean not burnt.
No goodies in the pan, just not getting 3rd gear, 1- 2 shift nice , picks up reverse and drive real easy. Pita to adjust the modulator valve so i try some more adjustments next week end.
Just like the engine which is very modified i have no idea what's inside, the car is very strong.

Guys, technical question.
On my C6 the 2 to 3 shift does not feel right. Put a new modulator in which is adjustable , not much difference.
From my time back at the Ford dealership in the old days where i did my apprenticeship , the governor has some control of 3rd gear shift.
I am thinking that the governor is sticking , after all the car has been sitting for over 3 years.
Any help appreciated.

Took the car to the car show early this morning Sunday, gave the keys to one of my buddies at the show and waited for my wife to pick me up.
We then went down to the Animal hospital were our 7 yo German Shepherd was fighting for his life after acute kidney failure.
The previous night i spent a couple of hours with him but he was in extreme pain but still wagged his tail when he saw me.
Anyway this morning we had to make that horrendous decision to put him down, so after spending time with him he passed away.
I feel like SHIT and have lost my best friend and garage dog, always with me in there. Huge hole in my heart, miss him dearly.
Sorry about the ramble but i am in tears as i write this. His name is Cody.
