I messed up- Eagle Shifts bad now. HELP

[jsherrod]

Okay I need help and I can't figure out how to post pictures on here so bear with me.  Essentially I adjusted a screw and now my eagle shifts really late.

The thing I adjusted is as follows--- It is on the driver side at front of tranny.. (right above the stock exhaust bend) It is roughly a 19mm nut with a bolt running through the middle that is aprox 4in long (this bolt has a square head)

After I adjusted this the car shifts really late--- Not only does it shift late it seems like it want to drop into overdrive really  easily... 

sorry for the vague description. I am very mechanically inclined but this is my first eagle   if there is any more information that you want just ask....

1984 amc eagle wagon 4x4 4.2l 6cyl

The 998 has a lockup feature, not an overdrive. Is that what you're hearing? I can't remember if it kicks in after 35 or 45MPH but it's somewhere in there.

Well it was definitely the tranny band FRONT that i adjusted... i will try to follow the pedia on adjusting it and hopefully it straightens my shifting trouble


thanks

You may have jammed the passing gear lever in the process.
