Transmission 700 r4

First off i would like to say im new to the forum and hello to all ... I got a couple of questions and appreciate any help on this. A little history first , I just had my 350 tbi motor in a 91 chevy c1500 rebuilt and a thumper cam was recommended for the motor which i find out now that is not compatible with the tbi setup so i will have to switch to a carb setup to run right with this cam. I put the motor and trans back into the truck and the tbi is installed atm , i had to adjust the iac throttle screw just to keep it running so it would idle. I plan on doing the carb swap at a later time but my main question is before i took the trans out it shifted perfect and now it wont go into any gears , all i did to the trans before putting it back in is changed the fluids and filtor. I was thinking maybe the torque convertor ? but im no mechanic so any ideas why its not shifting? Thanks again for any help.

Re: Transmission 700 r4

If you are not moving in any gear, I would suspect a broken pump. If fluid level is correct, disconnect the top line at the transmission, put it in a container, start the motor and see if you have fluid coming out. If not broken pump. Usually means that the torque converter was not installed correctly.

Re: Transmission 700 r4

Anyone know if there is different size crossmember for 700r4, i recently dropped a 350 in my 83 camaro and have just put the trans in, cannot seem to fit the crossmemeber on to frame rail holes are not lining up.
