hi everyone well i serviced my tranny today new fluid and filter what a pain that was had to take off crossmember, anyways drove the truck about 200 miles back home got off the highway would hardly shift would go up to 3500 rpm before shifting out of first 2000 rpm is the norm 2 nd to 3 rd was hard also pulled over tranny was exactly quart low topped it up still shifted really hard for awile after driving for awile its a little better but not the way it was and it somewhat bangs when u put it into drive or reverse im hoping i did not ruin this tranny it shifts fine into overdrive though any thoughts

What the old fluid come out looking like?

 

[tomcat27]

I highly doubt you did any damage. I've done that numerous times (underfilled, had slippage...)

Did you mess with the throttle cable at all?

TH700's are kind of known to be a bit harsh when putting them in D and especially R.

How's your idle speed?

 

[jc1990]

no did not mess with that like was working fine till 200 mile trip only problem i had with it before is as soon as it shifts into drive torque converter kicks in to early lugging the engine really annoying but i have gotten used to that but always shifted okay besides that

Sure sounds like you managed to screw up your TV linkage/linkage adjustment somehow. Reset that to specs first, then diagnose from there.
