check your governor on driver side of trans. gear might be broken or worn
Are you hooked up to Cable or Satellite? Try satellite then down shift into 1st before going into 2nd.
The throttle valve in a 700r4 is what controls the hydraulic pressure in your transmission if it is not hooked up or adjusted properly it will burn up your transmission
kickdown cable. it connects to the linkage on the carb's throttle. as the throttle goes in the kickdown goes out.
Yes, a 700r4 will allow up to a 400ci sbc.
Probaly the only thing that will need to be changed is the length of your drive shaft. Usually a 700r4 is longer than a turbo400. Also, the slip yoke on the driveshaft for the output shaft on the TH400 is larger in diameter than the 700R4. You will need to install an electric kick down switch in the throttle linkage for passing gear on that TH400.
Yes
it probly needs a rebuild fresh clutches and so on,maybe a pressure control solenoid,convertor could be on it's way out and heating up too much or it could just be that your kickdown cable isn't properly adjusted which is a common problem which generally leads to the transmission burning out the direct clutches and needing to be rebuilt
Yes
You can't. No matter what you do to it. It will always be a 700R4
yes
I think it was from 1988 through 1992 used the 700R4
drive-shaft shorten also: make sure the tv cable is installed and properly set.
Yes...and most of them came with the 700r4. If it wasn't originally equipped the 700r4 then you may have to change the tranny cross member.
