700R4 shift points

[Steelrat]

What should the shift rpm points be in a 700R4? I think the tranny cable needs an adjustment. When in drive the 1 - 2 shifts are stacking on top of each other. 1st shifts at 2100 rpm, drops to 1800 in 2nd and shifts in 2nd at 2100 rpm.

They should vary based on desire and throttle position. Best kit out there IMO www.tvmadeez.com

First, you need to adjust the TV cable properly and NOT play with it from there. If you adjust it incorrectly you will burn up the transmission.
Second, the governor also has an effect that you need to take into account.

Once you've got the TV cable set properly tell us how it responds at full throttle, and how it is at mid throttle, along with what it does at light throttle.

BTO does have some well engineered kits for connecting the TV cable. They take the guesswork and uncertainty out of doing the steup and still allow for some adjustment in the part throttle mode.

Perfectly said. Getting the cable set is the first thing and a must. If adjustments are needed after this point, do everything with changing the weights or springs on the governor. You should also check out our Bowler Tru-Shift Throttle correction system. Very user friendly, no adjustments needed, you do not have to drop the pan or put a pressure gauge on. Just wide open throttle once to set the cable just as GM designed it. http://www.bowlertransmissions.com/u...shiftflyer.jpg

Thanks for taking the time to check out our system.

Figure 17 was a huge help for me using a Demon carb. My linkage was way off causeing real late shifts due to the wrong radius and angle. Fabed my own and shifts awesome now at all throttle level!

What carb are you running?

Adjust the detent cable once.The gov spring swap helped my shifts.
