    Ok, i'll remeber that. Is there any way I can test the torque converter?
    Well, what i meant by that was that i am at full throttle, but, I am only going 120km/h.
    This is how it is, I punch it off the line, it reaches 20km/h, shifts into 2nd, then gets to 40 and it's in 3rd, and then i get to 60, and it already reaches overdrive, and i feel the torque converter locking up. I can't control the lockup, unlessI push the gas harder and it unlocks, and then lay off a little for it to lock up again. When i took it on the highway, It felt like I reached the maximum speed for the tranny. So then, when I lay off the gas, the torque converter is supposed to unlock? Because I feel it unlocking, by the fact that when i get back on the gas after coasting, it revs up, and then it locks up.
    I heard the same thing, that the 700R4's are good transmissions, and it is, there is nothing to say. The only problem I am having with it is that it buzzes when it's in gear, and the wheels are stopped.
    I will ask the guys at my shop to help me adjust my tv cable, and see how it works.

    There is no "maximum speed" for the transmission, unless something is broken. Maybe your engine doesn't have enough HP to move that big boat any faster.

    It needs some deeper gears, like 5:13's.
