The builder is trying to say the problem is TV cable adjustment has damaged the tranmission. There has never been a 1-2 problem. What could the problem be and how can I know the builder isn't trying to charge me for waurranty work?
I appreciate any feedback, thanks.

Sounds to me like the 3-4 clutches are burnt up. I agree with the builder on a misadjusted TV cable/geometry can do that real quick, BUT its the builder/seller responsibility to tell you that there is no warranty if the TV cable is not adjusted correctly. The ONLY way to verify that is with a pressure gauge BEFORE you drive it. (2-4 lbs preload at idle, & bury the TV plunger at WOT) The #1 & #2 killers of the 700R4s 3-4 clutch pack are low fliud level. #3 is Low line pressure/line pressure rise when shifting into 3rd.
