The 3/4 clutch pack is gone. Usually the first failure point on the 700R4.

Re: 700R4 problems

another likely cause is the band which could be warped or worn when it engages it clamps the input drum and sun shell allowing the rear planetary to rotate engaging the 3-4 clutches.

Re: 700R4 problems

i talked to somebody about it today and they said it might be the cable that goes from the throttle to tranny. he said i have to push in and adjust it or something like that

if it was the band,which clamps the reverse input drum, he wouldn't have 2nd gear or 4th.
