I've got a 700R4 out of an 85 IROC, behind my 400sbc..The trans I bought used, prev owner states it was modified with a shift improver kit, vette servo & bigger pump..

I bought the BowTie Overdrives TV-Made EZ kit to adapt the tv cable to my carb. It is an edelbrock 750 Performer. Only thing is I used the stock cable, b/c after tranny was in, I couldnt get to the cable to switch. So I modified the cable end with a dremel to fit in the new bracket.

Now, I drive the car, and she shifts soft & a little late.. I barely feel it shift into OD on the highway.. The 2-3 shift seems to be the biggest problem. Just doesnt feel right.. Feels overextended, like when it should shift, it kinda hangs there a second or two too long under part-throttle cruising.. Under WOT, it shifts ok. But I am afraid of burning the cltches..

Any Ideas??

 

Also, I opened the throttle linkage all the way, and there is no slack in the cable, so it is pulling all the way..

And when I checked my trans fluid on the dipstick, it isnt red like it should be.. It looks almost like water..Very clear.. no air bubbles or foaming...

 

Did you replace the throttle valve spring with the one that came with the tv-made-ez kit??
