85 700r4 shifting issues
Hi Everyone. I searched through the forms and could not find answers, my apologies if this has been answered before.
I have an 85 vette that where the OD is not working properly, shifts into OD around 30MPH and lugs like crazy before it will down shift. I have just not used OD in the city as my temporary solution, manually shifting in and out of OD as needed.
Under normal driving, 1 though 3 shifts normally, but under heavy throttle, will shifts hard and seems to slip.
Trans fluid is OK ( not burnt but needs to be changed) and the detent cable has a kink in it.
I have a new cable on order and I am hoping that will help. I am also thinking I should change the oil and filter while I am changing the cable. As well, I am thinking about installing a shift kit ( only want to get in there once if possible) and hoping it may fix my problem.
I am wondering if anyone has done this already, would appreciate any advice or learn from someone else's experience.
thanks
Bryan
