anyone know chevys?
iv got an 89 chevy k1500 i put an 50,000 mile chevy 350 in it and then shortly after that the transmision went out, first i lost reverse then about 2 miles later i lost all forward gears as well. so now i have a truck with a rebiult motor and a bad trans. best quote i got is 1600 for a rebiuld, i realy dont want to stick another 1600 into this truck, its a nice truck but its an 89, but if i dont fix it i doubt ill get much for it if i sell it with a bad trans. anyone know these transmsions and have an idea what is wrong with it and if it could be repaired without a compleet rebiuld. there wasent any noises or anything when it went out stoped at a stoplight and hit the gas when it turned grean and it dident go anywhere when i hit the gas, its an 700r4 trans. i know this isent the proper fourm for this but none of the chevy fourms iv been to are anyhelp for anything

The TV will set line pressures.
If to low you could burnup the trans.
Being that you lost R first than Foward gears it could have a internal leak or pump ect.
I would check the line pressure. Or just remove the front cooler line to see if its pumping.

I would run air tests to find if its a leak.

trans fluid is not burnt, how do you a air test? and the tv cable was in corectly set for a couple days, but then i properly adjusted it and it ran fine for the next 3-4 monthes after that till it fell on its face one day. i too am leary about a junk yard trans, it would suck to buy a trans for 4-500 just to have it be toast as well
