I agree, you should check TV cable adjustment. If you are using a carb, make sure its linkage is designed to work with a 700-R4/200-R4 TV cable. The factory linkage is designed to travel in a specific arc and travel a set distance. Most carb manufacturers have disclaimers about using a them with a TV cable. Improper TV adjustment will kill a trans quick. I believe street Rodder magazine has an article this month dealing with this in the TCI constant flow article.

Good luck,
Robert
