700r needing rebuilt??????

OK, I got a 700r off a friend and he told me that it wouldn't shift out of second. He thought it was something to do with the wiring but from what I understand it does not use any wiring to shift? true or false?

If it has first and second only, then this is the 3-4 clutch pack that is gone. This is very common on these, and has nothing to do with the wiring. The wiring has to do with torque converter lockup only.

Re: 700r needing rebuilt??????

I realy need some good advice from a trany guy do to the fact that it looks like I am gonna have to sew the person I got this trany from for repairs. I have found that this is a common problem with these tranys I just need proof for ammo ya know. This has turned into a complete mess. from my understandings the people that I got it from were messing with the tv cable ( they thought it was a kick down) and they thought was a electronic shift trans. it shifts from 1st to 2nd but no 3rd or 4th. From my understandings its the clutches that need to be replaced which means a rebuild. I hate it when people do this kinda crap and try and screw someone.
