!992 S-10 4.3 with 700R4 trans.If someone has any ideas,I sure would
appreciate any advice that may put me on track here.My problem is my
trans.doesn't change until I accelerate real hard on the gas peddle.It
does go through all the gears,and when it shifts it's really hits
hard,which I can understand at almost full throttle.If I let off the
accelerator a little after it get up speed,it will change a little
sooner.I bought the truck a while back and someone put a used engine in
it,so I didn't find this out till I got it on the road.Thanks! Bobby

If someone installed a different engine it's very possible that they
neglected to adjust the
TV cable. There a release button on the drivers side of the TVcable
adjuster. Push that button and push the forward end of the cable adjuster
back toward the rear of the engine bay, then sit in the drivers seat and
push the throttle peddle to the floor.
This will get it pretty close to where it needs to be.
Test drive the truck and let us know if it helps.
Regards,
JR

Thanks JR! I will try that and let you know,Hope that's the problem.I
get back with you.
Bobby

JR I tried what you suggested,then test drove it.There was a difference
in the shift,but not very much,and at times it was searching for OD.And
it had to be running 65mph before it would go into OD.So I got it back
close to before and drove it quite a bit,at times it seems to be getting
a little bit better,but not like it shoud shift.I got a trans filter kit
and gonna try changing the fluid,and see what the pan looks like.The
truck I believe had been sitting for a long time.If you can think of any
thing else let me know.That TV cable slider was hard to move.Thanks!
Bobby

If the truck has been sitting for a while you probably should change the
fluid
then drive the truck a mile or two, then change the fluid again and replace
the filter.
The torque converter on the 700R4 doesn't have a drain plug and it will hold
a lot of old fluid.
Changing the fluid twice will help remove or dilute the old fluid with fresh
new fluid.
Be careful, that fluid will be hot even after driving only a short distance.
And be careful not to over torque the pan bolts. Snug is good enough if it's
not leaking.
Oh, BTW, moving the TV cable adjuster only one click will change the shift
points.
Good Luck,
JR

you should heck the vacum line to the modulater valve on the back/side of
the transmission, or the modulater valve itself( if that year has one)

No modulator valve on this one it has a TV cable.I changed the fluid &
filter..and messed with the tv cable some more and it seemed to
help,Thanks!
bobby

I took the pan off..spilled fluid everywhere,so I picked me a spot in
the pan,drilled a hole and put a drain plug in it,now I can drain it in
a container instead of on my head.I changed the filter and fluid..the
inside of the Trans.was real clean,it is shifting much better now,i'll
drive it some and drain and change the fluid again.Now I need to take
the front drive shaft out and put a seal and gasket in the oil cooler
filter adapter,that should have been done when the motor was out,oh well
maybe it won't be too bad.Thanks! Bobby

Sounds like you are on the right track Bobby.
When you go to put everything back together make SURE that
there is no crap in the flat O-ring groove or you will be doing it again.
Good luck
JR
