The older automatics could be adjusted (bands, modulator valves), but, if it is original without rebuilds, chances are a rebuild is in order. You might be able to get one from a used auto parts dealer. Some places will do a rebuild with just the basics (bands etc.) which helps keep the cost down. Good luck....

: : I have a 1973 Mav 2-door with a 250 CID I6 automatic and am having problems with first gear. If I accelerate, the engine will rev but it won't pop into gear for about 1.5 seconds. Does anyone know what could be wrong with Junior?
