If it's an 82 (1st year of the 700R4), drop the pan and you will find that the little clip that holds the link to the manual valve has broken. If that is what happened, you need to update to the 83-up design linkgage set up. You could put another clip on it until you get updated parts. It is just a throttle rod clip that should be axvailable at a good parts store, if there are any of those left!.
