after i rebuilt my 700r4 i did a test drive about 2-3 miles. Drive and reverse work great but 2 D and OD take alittle to kick in. I was wanting to know if that was becouse of the rebuild needing to break in the new steels and clutchs. I checked the fluid after the test drive and it looks about a quart low from i guess the fluid getting in the trans. INFO PLZ

tv valve can stick easy get some lube gaurd additive and drive it a a while should clear up in 25 miles or less if its sticking did u clean the cooler out or replace it and did u replace the converter 700r4s are very sensitive to dirt th tv valve will jam very easy

i have an 85 k10 383 stroker with 700r4. they rebuilt trans couldnt figure out problem then i changed the tv cable bam perfect plus the fact they never hooked it up. yikes check tv cable if its not tight as a guitar string when throttles full youll burn the trans up

same tv calbe its not a kick down problem its just taking some time to shift into other gears. Its also alittle hard to tell if its doing anything right im running open headers.

Improperly adjusted TV cable does this. It "hangs" a bit long before shifting and will burn up in no time.

my TV cable is stock i shouldnt have to adjust the cable. If the car is shifts way late how do i adjust for that.

There is a cable attachment bracket behind the throttle lever.

On the cable close to this bracket is a "D' shaped button.
This is used to adjust the stock cable.
At wide open throttle the cable should not be able to pull forward any amount. I check this by slipping the tv cable attachment off the bellcrank, I then crank the throttle lever WOT and pull the tv cable all the way forward beside the attachment point. This gives a good idea if its close or not.
It will also show if it would "stop" the throttle lever from being pulled to WOT.

The cable also is not allowed to stop the throttle from achieving WOT.

There is only one setting. Its not really an adjustment.

The tv/kickdown cable is tight a WOT noting to be adjusted their. I am thinking that fluid just hasnt got into everything yet i did only drive it a mile at most becouse of the exhaust. I did clean out the trans cooler and whole transmission and after my test drive it was a quart low. I will have to get some flex pipe for the exhaust so i can test drive it longer to see how everything is working.

also could these shifts be so long becouse of the corvette servo upgrade has changed the rpm shift range.

Try topping up the fluid and take it for another test drive.
