Hi there,my son decided to install a stereo in his 1995 chevolet 1500 4x4 ext cab.instead of waiting to get the propper connections from the stereo place he cut all the wires for the plugs that go into the factory stereo.now the tranny won't shift.if you put it in L then shift to 2 it will shift into 2,but if you put it in 3 or overdrive and go it is like it is stuck in L?i got all new pins for the factory plugs and replaced them and got the stereo working again.i thought it was the computer so took one out of another 1995 same as my sons and it didn't make a difference.i even put his computer in the other truck and it worked just fine.speedomiter doesn't work either.if anyone has any ideas it would sure appreceate it.

He must have done something other than that to cause the 700R4 to behave
like that. Are you 100% certain he didn't do something to the TV cable or
other electrical cables at the harness?
