the 700-r4 in my 90 has a problem where it will hold in second gear and delay shifting in to third when the trans is cold. the delay becomes less as the trans warms up. i know the 700's have a problem with the 2-3 shift as my old 86 would not shift into 3rd at WOT. the 90 also has a similar problem where it will once again delay the 2-3 shift at WOT ie. it will sit at 5000 rpms for a good second just revving before it shifts into 3rd. anyone know if a good old transgo kit will fix this or is my trans on its way out?

 

had this same problem with my 700r4. i drained the fluid and added a new filter and royal purple trans fuild. no problems anymore. it may be your trans fluid has lost its life, not the tranny. i thought id try this before getting some tranny work done and it worked. hope this helps

 

that was the first thing i tried.

 

anyone??

 

well, it doesnt matter now cuz i blew the trans over the weekend. 3-4 clutch pack is gone. time for a new trans
