Need some advice!!!
OK, The thing is that I took a 100 miles trip on friday and came back on sunday (interstate driving), everything was OK till I got stuck in city traffic, and then without apparent reason the transmission wouldn't shift from 1st to 2nd even making it manually untill it reached 4500 RPM 
My transmission is a THM 700 R4 (MD8) year 92, today I had it checked with a mechanic and he said there was no problem at all, he took a test drive and the transmission worked fine.
Before that i've had some overheating problem, but I've already fixed it. could this be related???
I just want some advise on what should I do??? rebuild it or keep going on this one, maybe it's a warning for something
for the help you could give me, i'd really appreciate that!!

wow that is interesting. from what you have said though it sounds like it may be an overheating problem with the transmission...do you have a transmission cooler by any chance?

No, I don't but i'm considering installing one soon, I've been reading and concluded that it woulb be for good.
What do you think thatcould be happening?

Pretty much anything bad in a transmission shows up in the fluid - I'd be pulling the pan and looking for debris - sniffing the fluid to see if it's burnt...
I'm not sure if a bad/sticky tv cable would cause no shift - but I would be looking it over carefully - especially the ends...( perhaps the inner core is fraying?)...
