I have a problem with the A518 automatic. For a year I�m driving with the A518 od/lu trans behind a 408 stroked engine. It works fine but after 1500 mile the trans start making problems. when the engine/trans is at operating temperature it just shifting up late and downshifts early when I'm letting off. When I�m driving at a constant speed it will downshift from 3rd to 2nd gear. When I turn the gas it shifts back to the 3rd gear. This happened at speeds between 2000-3500 RPM, even if the automatic is in overdrive. Oil is ok, kickdown adjustment is ok.

Its an A518 od/lu with A618 internals and a SF TFOD-jr shiftkit.

Any help is welcome, thanks.

Your valve body may be worn out on the throttle valve. I think you should try this kit.
