My 700 r4 is stuck in first and I need some help from you guys. I have scanned the other posts and found the same problem and found different solutions. I pulled my governor out and I think it looks fine. That brings me to believe there is junk in my valve body. What is the proper way to remove and clean out a valve body? Are there any small/moving parts I need to be careful of?

 

Make sure the valve inside the governor moves freely. The TV cable must be adjusted correctly. The fluid level must be correct, a little high is ok.

 

I HAVE A 92 RS I SWAPPED OUT THE 5.0 TBI FOR A CARB 350 I STILL HAVE THE 700R4 TRANS IN THERE AND NOW IT TAKES LONGER FOR IT TO SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR ANY ADVICE ON WHAT I SHOULD WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED I THOUGHT ABOUT SWAPPING IT OUT FOR A TH350

 

Try adjusting the TV cable to make sure that it is correct, before doing anything else. The geometry must be the same as the TBI. Compare both and see what the differences are in the geometry.

 

i have never worked on a trans before what is the tv cable and what setting should it be adjusted to

 

The tv cable is located on the throttle body assembly on fuel injected vehicles. on carburated vehicles i am guessing it is on the carb. it should be a bare wire for about 6 inches leading into a bracket or mount and then covered wire. that bracket is where you adjust your cable. it should have a plastic button on it. push and hold the button while pushing the wire towards the tranny. with the vehicle off go wot. you will hear some clicks. it has just adjusted. some fine tuning may be necesary.

 

well, I tried everything I could and no luck. so I just decided to put my shift kit in to see if that would do anything. somehow that fixed the problem. for how long i will not know. thanks for help.

 

I TRIED THAT THAT AND IT STILL SHIFTS INTO 2ND GEAR AT 30 - 35MPH AND THE RPM ARE AT ABOUT 45K-55K

 

what did you try? putting in a shift kit or adjusting the cable? Hmmmm. I am no expert on trannys. I was thinking about your cable length. Is the TV cable from your old TBI or the new 350 you swapped in? If it is the same cable from your old TBI it might be the wrong length. Thats pretty much all I can think of right now. Did you do the swap yourself or pay someone to do it? If you paid someone and you cant fix er, bring it back to them and tell them whats up with it.

 

i adjusted the cable i used the cable from the 350 i had paid someone to swap it for me do you think a shift kit would work or should i just switch to a th350

 

A shift kit would not fix something like this. Is it only happening going into second? Did you change your tranny fluid and filter yet? And as for switching to the th350, I wouldnt waste my money if the 700 worked before the swap. Change your fluid and filter and if that does not do anything take it to the guy who did the swap and have him fix it.

 

ok thanks for the advice
