trans wont shift out of 1st in drive!
I just rebuilt my engine in my 84' camaro and put back in! I got it started and when I try to drive it the autotrans wont shift out of 1st gear! I had some problems with getting the vaccum line back where they go because my sons phone we took the pics with broke so we lost all the pics of the before vaccuum lines!
Anyway I asked about it in carb sec but havent got a answer! I thought this may be more into the trans section! BTW if you already dont know this, but this is elct controlled trans not vaccuum control modulator! Anyway I really could us some ideas on how to hook this up, Thanks

It's not electrically controlled, either.
Check the TV cable.

Re: trans wont shift out of 1st in drive!
I dont mean to sound like a noob but when it comes to tran im lost! Can you tell me where the governor is on this trans and if possible let me know what other things to look for that could cause this? I just got all the info on hooking up my vaccuum lines and it looks like this isnt causing the problem with this car not shifting out of 1st gear! So now I need to narrow it down, the car has been sitting for a couple years! the trans does have rev, but when in drive it wont go into 2nd or 3rd! Thanks for your help and any advice will be helpful
BTW its a TH700r-4
