Well guys I finally got my lvl.2 700r4 installed in my '90 silverado that I did the
carbed LS6 conversion in. I've only driven it up and down the road a couple of
times to try and get my T.V. cable adjusted but so far I am pleased with the
feel. I went with their 9.5" 3000 stall and I think I made the right choice. Will
report back as I put some miles on it. Thanks guys.

 

Glad you like it keep us posted and if you need anthing just holler

 

I'm having their Level 2 with their 9.5inch 3500 stall put in my LS1. I should have the car back this weekend I hope. I'll let everyone else know how I like it also. Glad to hear your pleased.

 

Well I drove the truck around a little this afternoon. So far I am happy with the way it
feels. The only issue I've had is after a spirited 1-2-3-4 manual run thru the gears, when
I stopped and started off again it didn't want to shift out of 1st. Had to stop, run the
selector to 1 and manually shift it to make it want to shift on its own again. This only
happened once on my way home. It may just be because I've been driving my ext. cab
truck but this thing feels faster than my gto did. Performabuilt, please chime in on what
you think might have caused it to stick that time.
Thanks.

 

Thats unussual the shifts are all contolled by the PCM and manual shifting should have made no difference as it only allows you to hold gears down. Not cause and upshift. There is the possibility I personally have run into that some of the assembly jell had not melted but that would only be if it had never been hot. Other than that I could not think of any mechanical reason that could cause that , But very glad your happy with it and that its working well. If it does that again let me know and we will figure it out the only way it can stay in first is if both the solenoids are comanded on by the PCM .Have you had any tuning done for the stall yet ?

 

I have a LV2 700r4, not a 4l60E, on a carbed LS6. And the TV cable is adjusted
properly, no pcm on these. Like I said, it only did it once, after I had been driving
a while. If it does it anymore I'll keep you informed, but see if any of your guys
might know why it would do it.

 

Ah ok 700R4 most likley some jell from the build got in the TV bleed orifice and made the TV stick a little . Should be nothing to worry about its very unlikley to happen again . I have seen this happen on the 700R4 a few times shortly after the build and before the trans got really hot to melt it . The jell for assembly is like really thick vasaline and it dosent travel though holes to well sometimes till it completely melts and is aborbed into the fluild.

 

Thanks for the quick replies. You guys have been great!

 

Your welcome and as I said glad you are pleased

 

Just got back from running it down the road again. When I first left out it didn't want to
shaift again. Stopped, ran the selecter D-3-2-1-2-3-D and eased on out and it shifted
fine. Stopped and started several times on about a 20 min. drive and it didn't do it again.
Will give it some time to see if it is some assembly lube or something else causing it to
stick. It should limber up the more I drive it, right?

 

Yes I think it will be fine , also you might want to check that your TV cable isnt sticking a little too try pulling on it a few times and slowly letting it back in and make sure its smoothe .

 

Drove it to work this morning and so far so good!

 

can you clear your pm's please? I need to send you some stuff.

Sorry bout that, back on topic.

Thanks,
Marty

 

cleared sorry about that we get so many sometimes they get ahead of me

 

interesting.

 

Is everything doing well ?

Let me know

 

why are you manually shifting the trans anyway?

 

Some people like shifting manually and of course ajusting the shift points on a 700r4 as this trans is , Is a little more difficult than with the 4l60e which is electronic.

 

Check PM's.

 

Got it thanks
