You will know if its in gear because all these trucks 'thunk' when you shift them if you hear that thunk then its not the linkage. The pump is a possibility, have you checked the fluid while running and while off. If its a bad pump there wont be a difference between running and off. Also have a friend inside the truck put it in gear and look underneath at the drive shaft, what is it doing? The 700R4 to my knowledge doesn't have a governor and a bad tcc lockup switch would either prevent lockup which would create really crappy highway gas mileage or it would be stuck in the lockup which would cause a serious jerk and an instant stall out every time you shifted into gear. i would start with checking for the thunk, then check fluid. if you have a positive sign on both and the drive shaft isn't turning when in gear then tow it to a trans shop.

I need help bad. My truck us a Chevy 1500 1995 and if I drive about 30 miles or so and hit a red light and go to hit the gas. I'll have the peddle to the floor and it will start off slow then out of no where kick in and speed up. And if I'm going down the high way and the cruise control is on and I'm going up a hill it will do that. Throttle slow then kick in and speed up. Also when I go to slow down pulling in some where the truck sounds like its about to shut off then comes back to normal. What wrong with it? 10 answers
Ppl say it is my throttle body or my filter on my fuel pump or its I have no back pressure and my o2 senser is messed up since its straight pipe no cat converter. What is it.

My TBI 1991 305 does not fire when cranking. Until the battery starts going dead. Which is then turning over at a slow revaluation. But it's still yellow (no fire). Is it my pick up coil? Or timing? 2 answers
Swap ECM/PCM COMPUTER. Sense I'm going to a 305. From a 350. Or just wire a knock sensor into the original ECM.
