Transmission

I switched from a Turbo 350 (3-speed auto) to a 700-R4 (4 speed auto) last winter. I did this in the interest of better highway cruising. I drive the car to the track, and with the 350 and 4.11 gears, the engine was screaming to go 65 mph. It's much better now. The RPM is about 2200-2300 going 65. However, this trans was bought used from a local guy, and it doesn't shift as well as it should at the track. It has a delay during the 1-2 shift. Another problem I had was setting up the TV cable. This is the cable that attaches to the throttle. It controls pressure and shifting in the trans. Select Performance set me up with a bracket that bolts onto the BG throttle and places the pivot point in the proper location. Click here to see how I installed this transmission.

UPDATE 11/00: The transmission has been rebuilt and now shifts fine.
