RE: [T3] AT adjustment

["Gary Gamboa" <gary_gamboa@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>Okay, I adjusted the screw in the VM by turning CCW. At first I turned it a 
1/2 turn, drove it, then another 1/2 turn. I did this about 8 times until 
the screw was almost to the rim of the opening. The only real difference I 
could tell is a significant drop in power and acceleration, still clunking. 
I'll try turning CW next. Did someone mention the effect of CW and CCW on 
shift points?

The VM hose is 1/4 fuel line. Is this correct?



Thank you,

Gary Gamboa
