How do you adjust the shift feel on a 700R4 transmission?
However, remember that on the 700R4 and 2004R Transmission the TV cable controls both shift feel (clutch apply pressure) and shift points, you therefore cannot alter one without altering the other. Shortening the Cable : If you shorten the cable (move it towards the adjuster tab), this raises both one pressure and shift point.
Is the 700R4 a good tranny?
I told him that the 700R4 is a good tranny (as I have one) but the key to happiness with that tranny is to have the TV cable dialed in correctly. He looked at me like I was 3 years old and asked me what the heck I meant by "TV cable".

Is a TV cable the same as a kickdown cable?
"Kickdown" and "TV" cables aren't really the same thing. Let's take it from the top: Many old-school automatic transmissions use both a governor and a vacuum modulator to help regulate automatic shift timing. The governor works off of vehicle speed and engine rpm.
Does 700R4 have TV cable?
The TV cable on the 700R4 and 200-4R transmissions controls line pressure, shift points, shift feel, part throttle downshifts, and detent (full throttle) downshifts. So if the TV cable is not adjusted properly, it can cause numerous transmission problems.
How do you make a 700R4 shift faster?
When you press the cable adjuster release button, pull the cable adjuster forward a few clicks. This will cause the transmission to shift earlier. If the transmission shifts too early, grab the cable adjuster so it doesn't move, press the release button, and move the cable back toward the bracket a few clicks.
What happens if kickdown cable breaks?
A faulty or worn out kickdown cable can be replaced rather easily. But, if the cable has broken, it may result in a complete transmission rebuild.

What speed should 700R4 shift at?
We will say that, when properly adjusted, the First-to-Second shift should occur at 15-20 mph; Second-to-Third shift at 25-30 mph; and Third-to-Fourth shift at 40-45 mph.
What is the plug on the side of a 700R4?
the plug on the left side only controls the converter clutch. you really need to use the lock up feature,if not you will eventually burn up the trans. if you do a lot of interstate driving.as the converter will not get any cooling lube with the lockup feature not working.
How does a 700R4 transmission work?
The 700R4 uses a cable that connects the throttle linkage to the transmission's throttle valve (TV) in the valvebody. This is the governor that commands WOT up-shift speeds. It uses weights and springs just like a mechanical advance mechanism in a distributor, but employs two sets of weights for low and high speeds.
What year 700r4 is best?
Generally, 1987 and up TH700R4s or 1990-'93 4L60 units are the most desirable.
How many times does a 700r4 shift?
Re: 700r4 shift points (Ingar, Norway) Automatically shifting, the car shifts at about 3800-4000 rpm at wide open in first, 4500 in second, 4000 or so in third.
How much does a 700 r4 transmission weigh?
155 poundsThe 700R4 transmission is made from cast aluminium, which adds to its sturdiness and ruggedness. It's 23.4 inches long, weighs 155 pounds, and has 16 bolts.
What is a TV cable on a transmission?
TV stands for throttle valve, which refers to a small valve in the automatic transmission that determines hydraulic line pressure. This valve is hooked via a cable mechanism to the throttle linkage.
What is a kickdown linkage?

And it downshifts. So you can get a burst of acceleration.
What is a transmission detent cable?
Product Description. Detent cables connect the throttle mechanism to the transmission. Old cables can bind, break, or just become sluggish. The best repair is to replace the old cable with a new one. ATP Detent cables are designed to fit and function just like the original part to ensure durability and long life.
What is a transmission kickdown?
Kickdown can be used when maximum acceleration is needed, e.g. when passing. When the accelerator pedal is depressed all the way to the floor (past the normal full accelerator position), the transmission will automatically engage kickdown, i.e. immediately shift down to a lower gear.
Does a 1969 700R4 need a throttle?
A 700R4/4L60 will need a Throttle Valve unless it is a Full Manual Valve Body which as fatblock said would have to be manually shifted....FWIW I would not have an automatic in my 1969 unless it was FMVB or preferably FMRPVB (full manual reverse pattern valve body)

Does adjusting the cable out make it longer?
I would have thought they would have asked you to adjust the cable out, toward the firewall, rather than in, toward the radiator. Adjusting it out will make the cable longer, providing firmer, later shifts, and earlier kickdown.
Is there black magic on a throttle arm?
There's no black magic there, just make sure that the cable is getting pulled as soon as the thro ttle arm moves ( no slack) and is, or is very close to zinging tight at wot.
What happens when the TV cable is properly adjusted?
When the TV cable is properly adjusted the movement of the TV plunger in the valve body is calibrated to the movement of the fuel delivery system. This means the transmission will always have the correct oil pressure and shift feel regardless of engine torque.
What happens if a TV cable is sticky?
A TV cable that is sticky; misadjusted, broken or incorrect for the vehicle can cause various transmission malfunctions. A sticky or binding TV cable can result in delayed or full throttle upshifts (figure 9). At other times, the TV cable may stick or bind only when the engine off.
Can a TV cable readjust during a full throttle downshift?
Under this condition, the TV cable will not readjust during a full throttle downshift. What you have effectively done is allowed the engine torque to be ahead of transmission line pressure and shift points. Operating the vehicle under this condition will cause premature clutch wear and transmission malfunction.
How to shift right on a trans?
This is a little complicated as the geometry has to be correct for this trans to shift right.If you have the stock upper cable bracket and the carb is the same as stock,you release the lock on the cable,pull cable towards the firewall,then let the lock ratchet the cable into place as the gas pedal is moved to full throttle.Use the pedal,not opening the carb linkage by hand.This will get you real close.Again, the cable must be in the stock location on the carb linkage as geometry is important here.There are other ways to get the results you want if things are not stock.
Do you need an adapter for a 700 carb?
YES, and they have an adapter for different carbs that sets the correct "ratio" of cable pull, since most carbs are NOT set up for 700's. Donnie, bring it by if you can't get it sorted out and we'll ruin it together
Is the 700R4 cable kickdown?
