1) Anyone know if the K1 spring upgrade (126-270-44-77) will fit in a 722.118? Rusty wasn't sure, and the internet seems littered with folks having this question unanswered. :/
2) My transmission is flaring* and yesterday I realized that, after adjusting the accelerator throw some months ago, I didn't adjust the pushrod to the transmission's vacuum valve. I shortened the pushrod a bit, and it is a bit better. I am hoping the trend will continue as I make it shorter... However, this leaves me with two questions: a) How likely that I did permanent damage? I guess I was telling the transmission I was always at WOT? Not really sure what the vacuum valve is doing in practice. [Fluid was replaced 8-10 months ago, I'll do it again soon anyway since I have a slow leak I want to track down.] b) Why would it shift early with a pushrod that was too long? Seems like it should be the other way. *I think it's "flaring," basically the engine spins before it goes through (I think) 1-2 and 2-3, especially if I'm accelerating above 40%. If I force it to hold gear with the floor shift, it shifts perfectly at a higher RPM.
