Re: 700r4 shifts too hard at low speed

Sounds like in both cases your shifter cable either broke or came undone either at the shifter in console or more likley under the car.

Re: Converter lock up question

with the gears you have you probably need a lighter weight converter such as comes in taxis and police car this will raise the shift point and make for a much better feel .

Re: lost 3rd and 4th gear on 700r4
