I just put a 700r4 in my 84 camaro. it is much better than my last one except when i put it in gear it makes a loud bang noise. and when i give it about half throttle itll shift really hard into second, sometimes even chirping the tires. but when i have it wot it feels like it shifts fine. someone told me it may have a shift kit in it. but im a little concerned. any advice?
The u-joints could cause the banging when you put it in gear. You might want to check the kick down cable. If it's out of ajustment it can cause the hard shift. The transmission thinks the motor is going faster then what it is and will shift harder. Put the car up on jack stand in the rear and put the tranny in neutral.turn the drive shaft back and forth with your hand and see if you hear the clunk or bang you heard when you put it in gear. if not then I would go with the kick down cable being to tightor to short on ajustment. However you want to look at it.
If you would like a smoother shift, you could change the 1 -2 accumulator spring to cushion the shift. A sharp shift on a 700-4R is pretty common in a Camaro, but you can make is shift softer, smoother with a few changes. The servo for the band may have been upgraded as well. You should consult a transmission shop to see if it has any upgrades in it.
It might have a tv cable way out of adjustment.Those also had a plastic governor gear that would strip and hang.These are both potential problems to start on taming it down.
