Angry Alrighty then!!

I finnally finished my transformation from a 350 (tranny) to a 700r4....

Here is a little background on what happened earlier:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=102702

So I finish everything up, turn the truck over... starts like a champ!!
Start filling up the tranny with fluid...

Let it idle for a minute or so to let the fluids flow

jump in put it in drive and start rolling down the driveway.....

hit the corner and let the gas have it!!!

:p

Lots of studdur, from first flys through second and right into third WTF!!!
Thats what my 350(tranny) was doing!!!
This 700r4 came out of a 92 Chevy attached to a 350 with 45,000 miles on it.
Hello, what did I do wrong, Oh yeah, why does my torque converter have a slight wine to it? You can hear if your really trying to....

Here's the proper way to adjust the TV cable.

http://www.73-87.com/7387garage/drivetrain/tvcable.htm

As for the studder, or shudder as I call it, this is called converter shudder. I've got a 92 Chevy van sitting in the drive right now with a 700R4 that shudders like a wet dog. It's so bad you can't even drive it in OD. No matter though. I could put a new converter in it but it's also slipping some. I've got a real good TH400 that's going in it before too long. This heavy van loaded with tools don't need OD anyway. Top this off with a high rear gear and taller than supposed to be tires and OD sucks.

So, if I were guessing, and it is a guess, I'd say bad converter. Not trying to scare you or anything as I hope it's something simple to fix. There are way too many of these with converters going out. A lot of this was neglect not keeping the fluids changed like they should have been. Another is heat. Heat will kill a 700R4 in a heartbeat. I know you say it has low mileage, but I wonder how many times the fluid and filter was changed in them 45,000 miles?

Good luck with whatever it is.

Sounds like A: your TV cable is way out of adjustment and B: you might have the wrong fluid level in there and its low. Check it again with the engine running and warmed up.
