I'm chill. I just find it frustrating when people ask for advice then ignore it and complain the problem isn't fixed. Basically =

Thinking more on this and I want to be helpful so - some things I want to add/restate:

Yes you got the geometry corrector for the carb throttle. Good - but if you don't have the correct carb base plate bracket where the TV cable and throttle attach the geometry is still going to be wrong.

For the TV cable to work properly its about length of pull and tension - see post 41. If you don't have those angles correct it is not going to operate correctly. I don't know how you get those numbers by using parts that are not made for the correct application. Sure you can fab it up but those are the number you need. Or just buy the bowtie OD setup i referenced and also shown on post 8. Please note that the cable is supposed to be TIGHT.

Since you asked for the pressure test readings please see here:

So... what gauge and where to plug it in? I don't have a gauge, but I could get one. I don't have the typical port for the lockup pressure switch, so where else could it go?

Do you have a search function? It's pretty useful. Google is your friend.

Easy tiger. I know how to use the search function but it's so much more fun to have you do it for us. HAHA! That is some good info. Would have been nice to have before this trans went bonkers. I have a nice video (tape) yup on how to rebuild these. I might just put it on a drive and send it to you. Not hard at all.

Really good stuff there. It will take me a while to get through it all.

I get it. Hopefully he gets the TV cable bracket sorted and it fixes it. Transmissions, especially 700's are irritating to troubleshoot. Everyone has an opinion, but it really helps to see whats going on in person. It could be a combination of things going on.
