I did a line pressure check on my 89 700r4 while trying to diagnose another issue(700r4 problem 10-19-2012, 09:14 PM ) . The readings were taken @ 1000 rpm with the TV cable connected.

P 80
R 125
N 80
D 80
3 80
2 125
1 125

I have a .500 boost valve installed and modified the pressure valve (ground flats on the land). Shouldn't these pressures be higher with the larger valve? When I did the pressure test the gauge needle flutters quite a bit but was able to average to get the above numbers. When I pull the TV cable all the way out the gauge reading flutters so violently that I can't tell what the pressure is. What is causing this (fluid level is good)? I am trying to get as much info as possible before removing and disassembling.

I really could use some help with this

did you change the spring on the 'line bias' valve or block the 'line bias ' valve in place?

The flutter you mention , indicates to me you did nothing to the line bias valve.

The system is boosting pressure as designed in R , 1 , 2 ..

Thanks Crosley.

Just checked my notes and I did install the green spring.

I am not familiar with a green spring for line bias valve from TransGo... usually red or blue springs in Jr kit...


always use stiffest spring on line bias valve or block in place by replacing the spring with steel rod
