Rv Transmission problems

I think the tranny went in my RV. Drives in lower gears 1 2 and 3 but just revs up in overdrive. Fluid smells burnt but havnt dropped the pan yet to see whats in there. Its a 1991 Chevrolet chassis and I'm pretty sure its going to have the 700R4 overdrive tranny in it. Rig is older but spent most of its life in California and is in really good shape with about 40K miles on it. So if tranny is toast what would be the best way to go. Pull it and get it rebuilt. Buy a rebuilt one or buy a new one. First thing I plan on doing is getting a good set of ramps to pull it up on so I can get underneath it to pull pan and work on it.

Pay attention to the TV cable install and adjust.  Too low of shift points are often the cause that leads to the failure such as yours.   Then drop the pan but your probably looking at pulling the transmission. Give Dave's Transmission a call in Duluth.

Finally got around to dropping pan on trany. Fluid didn't look bad a little dirty as to be expected but not bad. No sign of metal shavings. Going to replace filter and add fluid and some additive and hope it loosens up what might be sticking in valve body. Might be a long shot but wont cost much to try.
