Pics of new 700r4, couple q's

[91chevZ71]

OK, so my current 700r4 is about to *hit the bed so here's the new one. Anybody use Oregon Performance Tranmission's torque converters? I bought it a long time ago...1800 stall/"Heavy duty". It's probably better than the one I have now (stock). Let me know if you guys see anything weird. THanks,
Mike

who built the th700r4? looks good!!

[91chevZ71]

well, the truck is going to the shop on wednesday for the new tranny/torque converter. We'll see if that new TC changes things...I hope it does.

I think it should- the torque really starts at about 1700 with this motor, so at least it's better than stock


I don't feel like doing this myself...besides I'm getting a good deal. I hate dropping my truck off and letting someone else wrench on it

[91chevZ71]

scrapped the shop idea. I'm gonna do it myself...can't be that hard. probably start tomorrow morning

Have a great time with the install! Let us know how it goes.

So, my Aamco 700R4 made it almost 40K. not bad,I guess...
I'm driving home two days ago from and I lose 3rd gear, 2nd, then I had 1st to make it the last 20 feet up the driveway. I got REALLY LUCKY it didn't die on the highway I just exited...

Spent the last two days changing it myself, which I don't recommend to anyone that only has two jackstands and a floor jack. LOL
I basically had to bench press the f*cker up and rest the back on the crossmember, hold the tranny with one arm and slide the floor jack underneath the pan.

ANyway, I slapped the higher stall TC in and things SEEM to be working right. It's still sucking in fluid and I can hear the trans gurgling which I assume is the air getting cycled out of the system. I've put 12 quarts in, not counting the 1 qt in the TC. I have a deep well pan and the integrated tranny cooler that comes with the towing package. Based on how much came out when I drained it, I think it should be pretty well topped off.

That job sucked
