    Hello all, I have an '84 C20 350 automatic, I believe it's a TH400, it seems to shift well from a stop, but when I get to a slight grade it will not drop into a lower gear. It used to, but no longer and as a result of course the engine will rev but that's it. Of course I can manually shift into...

    Transmission Swap Mishaps

    I bought an '89 4WD Suburban for its 700R4 transmission and swapped it into my '79 Sierra Classic, pictured here. There have been a number of challenges but that side of the transaction seems to have gone okay and the PU is like a new rig. On the other hand, the 350 going into the Suburban is a...
