What is up with my trannys

[protechk5]

Ok I bought a used 700r4, and right when i put it in it never shifted right. It would always shifts really late, you would have to get on it real hard, close the redline. Now i just got another one, put it in, and it drove perfect for about 5 miles and then after i floored it a little, it started to do the same thing. I dont think its the tv cable cuz no matter how I adjust it, it hardly makes a differenece. What is going on here? Someone said it could be the govnor, if so how hard it that to replace? Anyother things. Also it has a brand new TC.

how are you adjusting your TV? sounds exactly like what it is. and the trans you just put in, is probably now toast too.

im pertty sure that i had it right, i read it over like a 100 times. If went from perfect to not shifting up without getting on it with in 1 second. Would a stripped govenor gear cause this?

 

[beater_k20]

no a stripped governor would cause it not to shift at all. almost sounds like you had the cable too tight. how was the pedal effort?

 

[protechk5]

it might of could have been a little tight, i guess tomorrow i will take it in to get someone to adjust it right

Has to be that T.V. cable. The 700r4 uses a governor to shift gears for you. It works like the mechanical advance in a dist. using diff. spring pressures to change gears at different times. The only problem is that the fluid press. from the governor must overcome the T.V. press. to shift. When the throttle is pressed slightly the governor can overcome the pressure easily, but when it is mashed it must wait for vehicle speed to get up before it can overcome the t.v. pressure.

Try unhooking the t.v cable all together and see if it shifts way too early. If it does then you know there is an adjustment issue. BUT DONT LEAVE IT LIKE THAT AND DRIVE AROUND $0.02

chances are its already screwed. they dont like to be driven long with the cable out of adjustment.
