    700R4 TV cable - weird adjuster?

    Another sure fire way to make sure the cable's geometry and adjustment is correct is to drop the transmission pan. Look at the plunger and the lever that pushed the plunger. At idle the lever that engages the plunger should be touching the plunger but not engaging it or have any space between...

    Jegs or Summit

    I was a Summit customer forever, however, like most companies they have gone down hill in my opinion. I have been purchasing from Jegs for the past couple of years and have been very happy with their service.

    700R4 no forward gears that fixed itself ???

    Thank you for the reply Nick. I certainly did not want to hear "failure" from someone with your experience, lol. So if its going to break, it should do it soon? Wife and I have a few day trips planned. We just got back from a 1500M round trip to Tennessee, sure glad it did not break there :)

    700R4 no forward gears that fixed itself ???

    Hello, 700r4 in a 1984 K5. I replaced the transmission, converter and cooler 3000 miles ago. I purchased them from reputable companys. I have not had any issues till last week. I went to do a quick errand. Started it up but it had no forward gear. I put it in reverse and it backed up. Put it...

    Dakota Digital HDX Install Write Up

    Awesome write up! thanks for sharing. Maybe not related but how is your oil pressure? Is there much of a difference between the original distributor sensor location vs the Oil filter location?

    PerformaBuilt transmissions

    Well and update. I ended up purchasing a 700r4 from Performabuilt and got a lock up converter from Protorque instead for the FTI that they sell. So far its perfect. These guys are a small shop and really listened to what I wanted and they delivered. I highly recommend looking at their you tube...

    Blue Print or GM Performance

    I vote anything but GM Performance (making the assumption GM and Chevrolet Performance are the same company). Mine has not blown up yet ..... here is a post that I made a while back https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/new-chevrolet-performance-350-issue.37675/ Bottom line it is impossible to...

    4L60e vs 700r4

    I totally understand the TV cable making you nervous. We don't seem to have a good shop in my area either. I am going to have my 700r4 rebuilt just because its old and we do long road trips. ANYWAY I spoke with performabuilt transmissions and he said get the proper carburetor to TV cable...

    PerformaBuilt transmissions

    Has any one purchased a transmission from PerformaBuilt? thumbs up or down? Looking to have my 700R4 rebuild. We have one local transmission shop but its under new ownership and I am just not sure how good they are so looking for an alternative. thanks

    Cracked block

    This is old news, just thought Id share. I pulled this running 350 engine out of my k10 when I installed a 383 in it. I ran this engine for 3+ years with zero issues. The plan was to rebuild this block for my K5, well, until I pulled the intake and saw this.... LOL
