About transmission in a 1983 Mercury Marquis

Just put 2500 dolars int carb, fuel pump, wires, rotor and radiator. Now it seems the transmission is not up shifting until I floor it. Is there an electrical component if not does the trany need to droped or ican it be a minor problem?

Before you do anything , Check the Downshift linkage ! this is a rod that runs from
the carburetor/fuel injection to the transmission.
Its job is to ingage passing gear , if this rod is out of place , it may cause your problem.
could have gotten knocked out of place during the tuneup

P/S a vacuum line loose at the transmission could also do this(to the modulator valve)

I would check the kickdown linkage adjustment and the vacuum modulator first. Are you sure the tranny is upshifting when you floor it and not downshifting?

My automatic transmission in the first shift gets stuck for a few seconds. The speedometer stops working. Then it will engage and run fine until I stop after it is warmed up. What could be the problem?
