i have a 700r4 in an 89 camaro with a 305, a few weeks ago the trans decided it didnt want to shift anymore unless it was at about 6 grand, i did a fluid/ filter change, checked the tv cable, looked at the gov and it was fine. it still did it, is it shot or is there something i am overlooking

 

Did you adjust the TV cable? You mentioned "checking it", but didn't mention adjusting it. There is no checking it, just adjusting it.

 

yea ive adjusted it but it still didnt shift, would putting in a shift kit and clean out the valve body give me the results i need

 

check line pressure, gov pressure and so on. if line pressure is max it will want to shift way late and really bang into gear.

 

how would i go about checking that cause i couldnt find any lines on the trans. it also sometimes doesnt shift out of first

 

there should be a port on the tranny to for testing all pressures. i cant tell you exactly where its been a while since ive done any tranny work and wat i have done is limited. ive just got a basic knowldge. a hays manual might be able to tell you
