I didn't take anything the wrong way. I had to verify myself,that's why I went and looked at his other posts. I hate it when people ask for help but don't give important details,like year,model,engine,previous symptoms and work. I've been bit more than once giving advice based on most common applications. Then when I'm done O.P. comes back with its a 6.2 4x4 or some other combo that wouldn't be your first guess. I used to post first up,when this info wasnt there . Year?,model? Engine? Transmission? But it ruffled too many feathers.I wasn’t calling anyone out, and I’m not playing detective to figure out what the op has. I Just want to make sure we are not talking about something that the op doesn’t have.
The pan shape in the pic above verifies 700.
I went to 700r4 when he said TV Cable since Th350 has a detent cable, not a TV cable, and looked at stats under his name and seen 1984 and ASSUMED 700r4 based on that info and I think the reason the rest of us did too. But yeah, it's for sure a 700r4. But now I see he has a date on the pan as if he had off for a fluid and filter change. If what I suggested about broken parts, he'd have seen metal parts in the pan when he did that. But now it brings me to other questions. Did he change the fluid and filter? And has it worked properly since he did this at all? Changing the fluid and filter might have been a bad idea. Here's the deal on that. If you have a neglected transmission, meaning it never had a service and the fluid is dark and tons of miles on it. At this point, you'd get more miles to just keep driving it and leave it alone. If it wasn't getting regular fluid changes like every 50,000-75,000 miles depending on how it was used like stop and go traffic, towing or off roading, then just leave it alone. The new fluid is going to clean out all the gunk accumlated in the drums creating more tolerances on very worn clutches and the clutch drum pistom doesn't travel far enough compress that clutch pack tight enough, trans starts slipping and then overheat and burnt up and done. If it has been maintained and that gunk was not allowed to accumulate, then yep, go ahead and continue maintaining it with fluid changes, and probably more like 40,000-60,000 miles since now it's a worn transmission and going to have more clutch wear gunking up the drums.Hold up now,
I was just about to call this a troll thread especially with the above quote$$
The OP has never confirmed that he has a 700. It was only assumed on the first reply, and we all ran with it.
Liam, can you provide us with a picture of the pan? From below so we can see the shape.
It makes too much sense for people asking for help to give all the relevant information to make it easier for other members (members who are taking the time to volunteer their knowledge, assistance and experience for NOTHING) to more efficiently and effectively help the requesting party.I didn't take anything the wrong way.

After iwas towed home i checked the fluid and it had 2 quarts too many so i dropped the pan down and the fluid smelt very burnt and there was a lot of gray floating in it even though i had just changed the fluid 200 miles ago and the filter *** not on correctly because one of the previous owners changed the filter and the orange rubber thing went in the tube and got stuck so i took it out and put a new filter in and that didnt help so i changed the tv cable and that has done any goodI went to 700r4 when he said TV Cable since Th350 has a detent cable, not a TV cable, and looked at stats under his name and seen 1984 and ASSUMED 700r4 based on that info and I think the reason the rest of us did too.

Just adjust your TV cable properly and you should be fine,had the same problem and solved with Youtube video and should be fine wiyh a little tweekingHow do you adjust the cable that goes from the transmission to the carburetor truck will not get out of 1st gear
