If it has the Trans-Go kit installed (should have, if you want it to live), all shifts should be firm and decisive. There's only ONE way to adjust the TV cable. Anyone can do it if the procedure is followed, and it takes about a minute or two. If you don't know, get smart on it. Try that FIRST. If it requires further adjustment, something else is wrong. If the TV cable is incorrectly adjusted, you risk toasting the tranny in a hurry.
So it feels like it shifts 4 times while starting out in 1st gear. Feels like it shifts twice when it is going from 2-3. It is possible what I am feeling is the lock up kicking on just before it shifts into 3 gear? This is a pre 86 700r4 and is not electronically controlled like the newer 700r4’s. The trans shop said it is doing its job well.
