i have a 66 coupe, 289, with a 67 c4 (d-2-1) with a stage 1 shift kit
i notice that when i brake and slow down for a turn, or even when i brake to come to a complete stop, my transmission does not down shift until i'm almost completely stopped (less than 5mph).
it takes a lot more effort on my manual drum brake pedal to stop when my car stays in 3rd gear until i'm stopped. however, if i down shift manually, i attain the desired (and i believe correct) results.
cold this be the product of an improperly adjusted kickdown? or is the kickdown only for down shifting at WOT?
could this just be normal operation? this is the only mustang i've ever driven, so i'm not sure if that's how it's really supposed to run.
