700r4 shifting problems
ive got a 93 trans am with a 700r4. i rebuilt it about a year and a half ago. its been doing great with no problems.
but one day while down shifting from 2nd to 1st at only like 15 mph and it made a weird noise and slipped like it was in neutral.
it will not shift while in OD, but if i put it in 3rd (drive) with will shift fine from 1st-2nd-3rd then i can put it in OD and it will shift into 4th.
only problem it has is it doesnt want to shift thru the lower gears when put in OD.
i figured it was just a stuck valve, but i just pulled the valvebody and none of the valves are stuck??
it also has a transgo stage 2 shift kit
need help figureing this out!!
thanks

Re: 700r4 shifting problems
fourth is applied band, forward clutches, and 3-4 clutches. all other gears except reverse all share the forward sprag which is a one way roller clutch until it is supposed to drop off in fourth.
with the noise it made and the shifting problem you describe it sounds like it's deeper than a valvebody.

ohhh nvm, your right. when its in 3rd the overrun cluch is apllied which overrides the forward sprag enabling the gears to work
ahhh ****, gatta drop the trans =/
