I replaced my TV cable today, and there was no change. The old cable was streched out quite a bit, but there were still a couple "clicks" left.

700R4 woes

I recently acquired a 700R4 that wasn't shifting correctly. It would only shift if the engine reached redline. I checked the TV, TV cable, and the governor, all of which seemed to be in order. So...

Re: 700R4 shifting trouble

Not this un-familiar. The 1-2 shift doesn't come until 35 mph, which is ~4500 rpm the way this thing is geared. And it hits that shift point regardless of throttle position. If it was built to...
