If you're using a Quadrajet carb, you can probably find some factory linkage to do the job. If you're using a Holley, you may need an aftermarket kit, unles you're the type that's comfortable fabbing stuff. You can find some information at Bowtie Overdrives...

i installed it but it wont go into any gear? i put 12 qt of fluid

[Sick5]

from what i have read in just a few minutes i could be the new torq convertor i got. wrong input shaft

[chevy_mike]

You did put a quart of fluid into the converter before you installed it, correct? You did get it to engage in two steps while twisting the converter on too? You have your TV cable set correctly? 700R4's are finicky to being setup correctly and it doesn't take long to kill one if not.

yah i put a qt of oil in the torq and i remember having two clicks as i was turning the the torq. and tv is set but even if i didnt have the tv set it still should at least move on anyone of the gears.. could the torq convertor still be the wrong input splines..

Sounds like you got the converter on correctly. I am assuming the one you had was for a 700R4. Not sure if others would fit but I think all 700's use the same input spline setup.

As for moving even if the TV cable is not set correctly, I thought I recall that you could have problems getting into gear, to move as the TV sets the preasures for the different bands to lock up. Not set correctly makes the bands slip too much and not move into gear. This is what will burn up a 700 in a couple hundred miles, assuming it was enough to move it.

Also, I have run into not having enough fluid. This will definitely cause it to not move in gear. With the engine running, have you cycled thru each gear, waiting a few seconds before moving into the next gear? Once done I believe you have to have the engine running and in Park to then check the fluid level. Is this level correct on the dipstick.

Many things can change the "listed" amount of fluid needed. Big cooler, deep pan, etc. Also being fresh, it takes a little more than if just doing a fluid change.

Hope that helps and good luck.

well thanks for the info
i took it out and took it to a mechanic i know and it was confirmed the input shaft is diffrent only has 27 spline.. note they dont make this type of spline anymore and that spline is none to break easy on 700r4. so a had him tare it down and replace the shaft..and the pump

Wow, must have been an early 700. I know the first couple years were crap. Glad you found the issue and it's getting fixed.

Yah I'm glad too
change the shaft and pump for 200 not bad
I would be even more if could do it myself
