700R4 bogs in 2nd gear.

Hey all,

I just got a rebuild 700R4 tranny. I filled it full of fluid and adjusted the TV cable the best I could. (It's a Lokar cable, without the self adjust feature)
When I first put it in gear, it's fine, when it tries to go into 2nd it will bog really bad, almost sending me through the windshield. At this point the engine sounds like it under a lot of stress. If I let off of the throttle, it goes back into first and it's fine. I tried adjusting the TV cable again, and it does the same exact thing. Any ideas?
Is it related to the vavle body or something internal?

Thanks!
Keith

Sounds like you have a bind up possibly the low roller is locking both ways instead of just one or a cross leak somewhere. But does sound like some internal issue

I'm in Thornhurst... no more than an hour and some change....

I didn't notice that you're in Hazleton...

If I pull it would you be able to look at it?
