    700R4 help

    Was just looking @ the TCI website & their "beast" is listed @ $80 something.... This will be just a little daily driver that will occasionally pull my boat & be used for some beach fishing trips hopefully. Nothing hardcore, just normal driving. My Reverse, 1st & 3rd work perfect. No slip, no...

    700R4 help

    Yes sir I didn't mean it to sound like I thought putting thee Vette servo in was a fixall. I went with Vette servo hoping it was bad O-rings on the stock servo, but to no avail. I'm really on a tight budget with this little truck at the moment. My wife lost her job back in November, and I was...

    700R4 help

    OK so I swapped out the stock 2-4 servo in my tranny for a Vette 2-4 servo, hoping that was my problem. But to no avail I still have no 4th or lock up. 2nd gear is now working ONLY when I manually move the selector through the gears?? If I put the selector in D and drive the tranny seems to go...

    1982 700R4 help no OD

    Jim the more I think about it, I think from what I've read there is a 2/4 servo in the tranny?? If that's the case I think that servo is not working. I put a tach on it yesterday and it seems like its shifting from 1st to 2nd briefly then sliding smoothly into 3rd. I manually ran it through the...

    wiring help

    I found this plug behind the glove box on my 1983 K10 while I'm trying to figure out why my OD is not working. Does anyone know what it goes to??? Hoping this is not some sort of ECM/PCM plug. I can't see the actual casting numbers on my tranny but it has no pressure plugs so I'm thinking...

    New to the forum & really need some knowledge here. I just purchased an '83 K10 & it has the 700R4 trans. I've been around SBC's my whole life but I've never messed with an OD transmission.

I been messing with SBC's since I was old enough to climb under a hood with my dad, but man these Automatic OD Trannies are not like an old Turbo 350-400. I will try...
