GM 700R4 V8
transmission problem
Subj: GM 700R4 V8
Having problems with a 700r4 I rebuilt two weeks ago . Hopeing you can help
with the tech. knowledge you have PLEASE. After I installed it and while on
the road test it was starting in second from a dead stop but I still had
forced thoutle shift to low and all the other gears I then put a TH 350
governor in it to see if that would make it shift to low and it did so I had
all gears I then adjusted the TV system and let it go out the door.Four days
later It comes back , will not shift and starts In second I checked the
governor again it was stuck and the out side of it was worn a little so I
replaced it again .It would then shift 123 but no overdrive I drove it a
few miles and now it starts in second and there is no overdrive. any help
you can give would be much appreciated.
When you "rebuild" a 700R4 you had better know all about it and replace
with upgraded parts any and everything that has any wear at all. It
sounds like the over haul was not done properly and that all the metal
particles that you get in a used transmission did not get cleaned out or
there is something that has been installed improperly that is wearing
and fine particles are getting in the governor and the valve body.
