Here is a little background on what happened earlier:

So I finish everything up, turn the truck over... starts like a champ!!
Start filling up the tranny with fluid...

Let it idle for a minute or so to let the fluids flow

jump in put it in drive and start rolling down the driveway.....

hit the corner and let the gas have it!!!

:p

Lots of studdur, from first flys through second and right into third WTF!!!
Thats what my 350(tranny) was doing!!!
This 700r4 came out of a 92 Chevy attached to a 350 with 45,000 miles on it.
Hello, what did I do wrong, Oh yeah, why does my torque converter have a slight wine to it? You can hear if your really trying to....

Oh yeah....
What is the exact proper way to adjust the TV Cable(detent cable, kickdown cable) whatever its called, what is the proper way to adjust that?

THank you

Here's the proper way to adjust the TV cable.

As for the studder, or shudder as I call it, this is called converter shudder. I've got a 92 Chevy van sitting in the drive right now with a 700R4 that shudders like a wet dog. It's so bad you can't even drive it in OD. No matter though. I could put a new converter in it but it's also slipping some. I've got a real good TH400 that's going in it before too long. This heavy van loaded with tools don't need OD anyway. Top this off with a high rear gear and taller than supposed to be tires and OD sucks.

So, if I were guessing, and it is a guess, I'd say bad converter. Not trying to scare you or anything as I hope it's something simple to fix. There are way too many of these with converters going out. A lot of this was neglect not keeping the fluids changed like they should have been. Another is heat. Heat will kill a 700R4 in a heartbeat. I know you say it has low mileage, but I wonder how many times the fluid and filter was changed in them 45,000 miles?

Good luck with whatever it is.

Sounds like A: your TV cable is way out of adjustment and B: you might have the wrong fluid level in there and its low. Check it again with the engine running and warmed up.
