Default 700R4 Update - Complete, will almost.

Finally got out and drove the car to the tranny shop today for tuning. We put on about 10 mile and adjusted the TV cable about 2 times. Still having issues with the 3 - 4 downshift. I think they are going to pull the valve body tomorrow and check for a stuck valve.

The 700R4 first gear and 3:55 are mean. 1/3 throttle will easily break the tires. The stall came out at around 2500 rpms which is perfect for the TPI torque band. I haven't pushed the top end, so I don't know the shift points yet. Maybe this weekend.

Thanks for the help. :cheers:
