I'm in 700r4 trouble.

[1970pelle]

I really haven't wrapped up my new crate engine install and Oh no! What has happen which is my fault. I had to convert the 700r4 lock up to a different style set up, being the removal of the under dash control unit(ECU) what ever.
I used a TCI kit, the install was easy. So I thought while I had the pan off anyway, why not add a couple of items. Thinking I have a known good trans that has a resent rebuild. Again Thinking. Why not change with some of the Corvette trans parts that TCI sells. I buys a sevro kit and a TV valve something. Well during my install of that valve that the TV cable contacts I didn't assemble it correctly. And blocked the valve from moving. I only drove the truck maybe 2 miles max to the muffler shop. And I was creeping at that, because of the open headers. That I didn't pay attention to that where blowing hot exhaust directly onto the trans cooler lines.
I pulled the pan, its covered in a very nice shade of black. And a pile of silver in the corner. I think for a moment find my mistake. Fix it and test drive.
I take it out and run it up to see if it will shift at any speed. It finally shifts at 35 mph and just about rips everything apart. It throws the belts, barks the rear tires. knocks any dirt or dust left on the truck off.
So now I will be pulling the trans for a rebuild, probably trashed a new tranny cooler.
I can just hear it now, why did you buy a new truck ?
