700r4 question... Background: Car is a '86 Camaro that originally had a 305 TBI w/ auto trans. Installed a carbureted 350, removed the computer and engine wire harness, so everything is manual now.
Problem: Car does not shift out of 1st, it shifted fine before installation of the new engine.
Question: What is the sensor located on the drivers side of the transmission (not the VSS)? It has a square 4-prong connector that goes into it, only three prongs are being used with (1) pink wire, (1) light green wire, and (1) orange/black wire. I think that sensor is what is not allowing the trans to shift properly.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

We just installed a new TV cable last night and I adjusted it a few times incresing/decreasing tension, but no adjust ment allowed the trans to shift out of first. Even if it was not adjusted properly, I figured it would atleast shift lazily, but it's not shifting at all.

These 700R4's can be a bit peculiar. If this unit still has the OEM checkball in the case at the TV cable bracket assembly, the following may be your problem. When I worked at the Chevy dealership, everyonce in a while I would forget to hook up the TV cable before I started the engine. When I did this and drove the vehicle, it caused the TV valve to stick in the valve body which caused a no shift or a very high shift out of 1st gear.
Sometimes after the cable was adjusted properly I was able to make the transmission shift. However, most times I had to remove the valve body and un-stick the valve.
