700r4 not shifting
How's everybody doing this evening? I have a 91 camaro, 350 engine, I just installed a new dif. with 3:73 gears, I had 2:73. Since changing the rear end my trans. won't shift at WOT. It does have a shift kit I installed several years ago. Under normal driving it shifts OK. I searched alot of threads on here and alot of people had this problem, but I didn't read about a fix. I have not pulled my governor to check it.I see where Summit has a Gov. recalibration kit, I would like to know if anyone has used it with good results.Thank You

I haven't tried to manually shift it, It's a B&M transgo kit. It won't shift from 2nd to 3rd. When I get off work tonight I will find a strech of road and check other shifts

Re: 700r4 not shifting
Ok went out and flogged my car tonight, it will shift from 1st to 2nd at about 4500 rpm, but not from 2nd to 3rd, l let it run up to 5500rpm. Also it wont 't manually shift into 3rd at WOT. if you let off the gas a little it will shift into 3rd. I didn't notice this problem until I installed the new rear gear.

Re: 700r4 not shifting
Yes. whem I installed my shift kit there was instructions on how to set the TV cable according to Trans pressure. I have since lost these instructions, so now it is set by the normal method
