    I'm having problems with my transmission, it won't shift out of first! It's a 700r4. The fluid looks goo and at the proper level, still nothing. A couple of ays ago it would shift if i put it into '2' and then put into drive, but now it won't shift at all. Any ideas?

    Did you properly adjust your Throttle valve control cable as per the 100's of web sites cautioning against running it with out assuring this is done. if not can you spell toast?????

    TV cable controls everything on those trannys. Without it will destroy the clutches inside. Check the shifter adjustment also.

    got it. TV cable needs adjusting and im missing the bushing/washer that keeps the spring up against the shift linkage on the transs
     
  6. If you drove it with a mal-adjusted TV cable, it only takes a few blocks of driving to kill it.

    I hope that is not the case for you.
