700-R4 shift adjustment?

[88K5Jimmy]

Is there a way to adjust when a 700-R4 adjust from OUTSIDE the transmission...I mean without having to drop the pan? I installed a shift kit and it shifts a little higher from 1 to 2 in the rpm range then I would like.

Anybody have any insight?

Thanks

is your TV adjusted properly?

Hey thanks for the article. The shift kit I bought had directions for re-adjusting the tv cable but it turns out that my tv cable bracket doesnt self adjust anymore like it should. So I self adjusted it and it shifts nice and crisp at a better rpm.

Thanks

hope you adjusted it properly, theres only one way and if you dont do it right then you can end up with tranny burning up and wont know it til its too late, with the 700r4's


good luck

I need to do one myself. What kit did you go with and how do you like it?

I went with the B&M kit. I got it because my tranny was dropped and I needed a kit that was in town and didn't have to order. My main problem was that is shifted really sloppy between 3 and 4 after it had been on the highway for a while. Even in the city it would shift sloppy after it was warmed up. I would loose a little bit of momentum because of it. The first real test was today when I drove back to school and it shifted great. No slop like there was and it shifts nice and crisp in the city too.

how difficult is it to replace the detent cable cuz mine is making my gas pedal extremely hard to press, when i disconnect the detent cable from the carb then my throttle is like a normal throttle, it doesnt make your foot tired. So i really need to replace my cable soon, just wondering how involved it is to do so. thanks Mike
