Some 1983 and 1984 THM 700-R4 transmissions may experience a partial tie up in reverse. This may be caused by a sticking 4-3
sequence valve which could cause a partial band apply or a sticking 2-3 shift valve which could cause a partial 3-4 clutch apply.
When servicing for this condition, refer to the following procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the control valve body assembly from the transmission.
2.
Disassemble the control valve body assembly and wash all parts with solvent.
FIGURE 1 - Valve/Valve Train

(Figure 1).
4.
If valves or bushings are damaged, replace the control valve body assembly.
5.
If valves and bushings are OK, reassemble the control valve body assembly and install back into the transmission.
