The only controlling factor connected between the engine and transmission is the TV cable. What does the pressure regulator assembly do in the pump ? The TV pressure is increased with throttle response only, it raises line pressure for torque increase. TV pressure works against governor pressure for upshifts and down shifts. This is not main line pressure If the tv cable is adjusted/changed it impacts all upshifts and downshifts. That’s how it was designed to work. So if your transmission is shifting early into second at 10 mph than you do not have enough throttle pressure. Most likely shifting early may provide a shift into 4th early as well and you are not feeling it shift into 4th since it’s very soft and very early which slips the 3/4 clutches more than they were designed to take. Over a few of these soft type shifts it will burn up your 3/4 clutches.

I suggest to adjust your TV cable where your trans shifts from 1st to 2nd at around 20 mph. You will notice much firmer shifts. Maybe by chance you may feel it go into 4th. Just hoping at this point 😀. Maybe you will get it to kick down with more throttle pressure
