Nick,
I recently got the 700R4 from my 85 K10 rebuilt. Transmission is installed and before I moved it, I pressure tested the trans per your guide and dialed in the TV cable. Here are the results;
1. Park/Neutral/Drive/3rd - 85lbs @ 1,000 RPMs
2. Reverse- 140lbs @ 1,000 RPMS
3. 2nd and 1st gear low - 110 @ 1,000 RPMs and at full TV extension
#1 and #2 above are near perfect according to your guide. #3 should be between 160-295 lbs, but I don't think I am going to get there.
I decided to take it for a drive, and it is running perfect from what I can tell. I can barely tell when it shifts it is so smooth, no slipping at all. Is 110 a deal breaker? Is it only a matter of time before it burns up? What would early symptoms look like? I took it back to the guy who rebuilt it (who will not remove or reinstall it that **** job is on me so trying to avoid it) he is going to put it on a lift next week and pressure test it himself, but if #1 and #2 are in spec, and I don't think there is anything else I can do to improve the 2nd and 1st gear pressures with just TV adjustments.
