Is it possible to shift out of first gear on a 700R4?
On the drivers side of the trans is a rounded cover. Pry it off, it is just pressed on, and pull out the governor. It is common for the nylon gear at the end to get stripped, when this happens you will not be able to shift out of first gear.
What kind of transmission does GM 700R4 have?
The 700R4 and 2004R were the first GM automatic transmission to come from the factory with a locking torque converter. This allowed for a true 1:1 connection between the engine and rear wheels at high speed, which increased fuel economy.
Why does my 700R4 have low transmission fluid?
If so you need to fill it back up and find where the transmission is leaking and fix it. Here is a whole post on low transmission fluid that may help. If your 700r4 is having a problem with harsh vibration going down the road, it’s more than likely loose torque converter bolts, or a driveshaft that needs balancing.
Why does my 700R4 have bad vibration going down the road?
If your 700r4 is having a problem with harsh vibration going down the road, it’s more than likely loose torque converter bolts, or a driveshaft that needs balancing. This is often a sign of a bad governor gear, or a TV cable that is not returning back when you let off of the throttle. Here is a pretty good resource on this subject.

Is there a 3rd gear on a Camaro 700R4?
Installed a stage-3 (rated upto 650hp) 700R4 behind a 655HP/672TQ motor. Took it for a test drive and manually shifted the gears without any issues. TV controlled shifts appeared to be fine under normal driving. Everything seemed fine.

Why does my ATV not shift gears when the engine is off?
If you can shift gears with the engine off, you know that the gear shifting mechanism, as well as the inside of the gearbox, most likely works fine. Gear shifting problems that are only present when the engine is running are usually clutch- or belt-related (Step 3) or caused by a high idle (Step 2).
Why does my bike not shift gears when idle?
Gear shifting problems that are only present when the engine is running are usually clutch- or belt-related (Step 3) or caused by a high idle (Step 2). You may find that the bike wants to creep or move forward when in gear at idle. But even without creep, the problem may be with one of these components.
What to do if your bike won’t shift?
Make sure the oil level is correct or the bike may not shift as it should. Drain the old oil into a drain pan. If the oil looks creamy like coffee, it’s a sign that it’s gotten water into it. If the oil is black and smelly, it’s old and long overdue for replacing. Also, look for debris such as old seals being drained out with the oil.
