When I leave it in drive the 1-2 wot throttle shifts at like 4500 rpm kinda earlyIf you leave it in drive and let it shift on its own, does it do the same thing?
the shift kit is a Baumann shift kitDo you know what shift kit you have? TV cable adjustment will move your shift point. How is it set right now? To check disconnect the TV cable from the mount at the throttle body and see when the cable is sitting relaxed where the cable connection pin will sit relative the hole it connects to (approximate distance).
When my car was an AOD I put a Lentech valve body in it - totally stock otherwise. I followed their procedure to set the TV cable adjustment. When I did that it would hold all gears pretty long. I then backed off the adjustment until the shifts were firm, but reasonable if I wasn't "in it hard". What I found the best set up was if the TV cable needed about a 1" pull to connect into the throttle body arm. If I remember right, the Lentech described procedure was more of a pull than that.I don’t think adjusting the TV cable will help it. Mainly because he says it shifts up at 4500 automatically if left in D. If a TV cable adjustment were in play, I would expect it to be acting up when shifting automatically as well.

I had tried setting the TV cable at a direct "no pull" setting, but the shifts in auto were just too soon in all gears. The TV cable adjustment is VERY directly related to shift points. Now things like line pressures and other trans functions need to be right too, but TV cable (or TV rod on the earlier carb'd cars) is the key governor to shift points in an automatic mode.
One of the things I really liked about the Lentech valvebody was it changed the shift pattern from OD-D-2/1 to OD/D-2-1, so no more 1-2-1 shuffle if you were manually shifting the trans.Thanks I will try adjust the tv cable and get it right
