700r want shift out of first
700r want shift out of first I have a '91 chevy truck with a 700r that will not shift out of first gear.
Even if you try to manual shift it also.
I haven't visually looked at it yet, but was wandering what would cause this.
Thanks in advance.

If your positive it wont shift out of low gear, remove the round domed steel cover near the rear of the transmission with a screw driver & hammer. Careful not to poke a hole in it.
Slide the governor out, and inspect the plastic gear on the end.
They make a replacement gear, but it may be simpler for you to replace the entire governor. If your replacing the entire governor, try to match the weights & springs.

If the tv is stuck, the vehicle will make a 1-2, just at a very high rpm (wot type rpm-48-5400) Test it in the air if needed to confirm.
To confirm if the tv is stuck-attach a pressure gauge just above the shifter location. There is a 1/8 pipe plug in this location.
If pressure is 150+ in d at idle, its stuck. It should be 75-80ish at 0 throttle.

Thanks guys, It's 100 degrees here and I don't want to crawl my *** under there.
So I'm letting my son do the work and learn something also. He'll look at the TV cable next.

When I trashed my second 700r it would go to 2nd but had no gear. I would hold it in 1st til 4000-4500rpm then bump it to 3rd. 2nd gear was the only thing gone.
Dont know if that will help but never know

I'll have to drive it and see if I can shift it from first to thrid.
Could the filter cause this?
