Re: 700r4 no overdrive

I'm no tranny guru by any stretch, but I think I'd start by checking the line pressures in each gear first. A manual will have the specs. Regardless, my guess is at a minimum you'll need to drop the valve body, I assume there are check ***** like in the TH350/400? Possibly incorrect spot/missing?

Only check ***** in the TCI RMVB are in the auxiliary valve body and it's there
