      700R4 wont lock up

      I have an '89 TPI/700R4 out of a Vette in an '86 442. I replaced the pressure switch and lock up solenoid this spring, but the converter wont lock up The fluid looked fine and still smelled fine. And there was minimal deposits in the pan with probably 1500-2000 miles on it.
      Last year I was fiddling with the TV cable to get it to shift a little firmer, but I didn't beat on it while doing it. I adjusted it at different times last summer, but don't remember when I noticed the tranny not locking.
      I double checked the wiring and tried to lock it up manually at low speeds to see if I could feel it. The engine/ tranny were said to have about 70K from a car with an interior fire.
      Ideas?
