700R4 trouble!
Switched carbs and now the 700r4 will not shift into 2nd gear, had to drive it real slow to get it 3 miles home in low gear.
what do I need to do? and did I cook something? drove real slow but I hear the 700's are real delicate?72 Nova

Did you reset the TVS cable adjustment? Your new carb may have different linkage that puts the cable in a different position than with the other carb. This is the only thing I can think of if you just changed the carb only.

What type of carb did you have and what did you replace it with? This makes a huge difference. TV cable adjustment is crucial and yes, when it comes to a 700 with an improperly adjusted TV cable, they are VERY delicate.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

My 700r4 did the same thing once. A very small piece of trash got in the Governor and it refused to shift. Try driving in reverse while speeding up and slowing down to try and clear the trash. If that does not work the governor is external( under a round cover on the LS of the trans) and can be disassembled and cleaned fairly easy. With the carb change the TV cable may need readjustment as well, but I thought I would mention my experience with the stuck Gov.
Good luck.

I Went from a Demon to a Edelbrock 650 and I did reorder a new cable and carb plate for the new edelbrock carb from Bowtie overdrive today.

Sniff the fluid, see if it smells burnt. When they start to get badly damaged the burnt fluid smells real bad!! Originally Posted by NOVA
