Switched out TPI to Carb. Now The 700r4 will not shift. Got reverse and first but will not shift up. when you take off it gets up to speed then the trans feels like it starts to slip and begins to chatter when it should shift.what do i need to do to fix this?

 

Did you change to a TBI or carbed car TV cable?

TV cable adjusted properly?

Install a TV cable geometry corrector?

 

What he ^^ said!! dont keep driving it. it may be too late as it is.

 

well left origanal tpi tv cable should i use a tbi or carb tv cable

 

all this electronic stuff is a all new ball game to me. use to the old ways thats the reason for the swap i went old school from the fuel pump and all.

 

Yes, need either a TBI or carbed car cable as I understand it - the TPI cable was quite a bit longer and thus wouldn't connect well or correctly. The TV cable is not electronic, it's purely mechanical - but it is very critical to the tranny operation to have it correct.

 

got a good offer today but need to know if it will be worth the trouble to swap out.
can get a fresh rebuilt 350 trans for $75 but what will i have to get to make it work in place of 700r4

 

Crossmember with torque arm mount, and driveshaft depending on the length of the TH350's tail section. Plus, you'll lose gas mileage (no 4th gear), you'll need to rig up a vacuum line for it, and I'd be wary of any $75 tranny - it costs 3 times that in parts to rebuild one, so there is no such thing as a $75 "freshly built" tranny.

 

350 out of cadilac car was wreaked its my neighbor that has it

 

Unless it's dual pattern, it won't fit a Chevy engine.

BTW, the TV cable isn't "electronic stuff". It's purely mechanical.

The torque converter clutch lockup, though, is electrical, and unless you made provision for it after removing the computer equipment, it's another way to burn up the transmission.

 

any updates hillbilly
