    1990 700R4 front pump rotor surface wear?

    Hey THANKS RoryH19! Only problem IS here in North West Florida, they (Chevy 208C Transfer Case) are few and far between. EVERY one I have found is over a 4 or 6 hour drive from here.

    700R4 bushing driver sets

    700R4 bushing driver sets

    Greetings to all fellow GM Square Body owners. I am currently rebuilding a 1987 700R4 automatic transmission. Which bushing driver set is the best?

    Check out this picture of the trans I am about to rebuild. The TCC solenoid isn't there. I guess I was pretty tired and didn't even see this since I just started on it this afternoon.

Not there. AND there is NO "K" on the case either. But, there are 6 bolt holes for...

    2 700r4's one is AUX valve body and the other is not......?

    Hey THANKS! So, I guess the guy who had this Aux valve body trans in his 86 C10 must not have had any TCC operation. I wonder if the torque converter that came with it (NO, I won't use it, I will buy a new one) even has the torque converter clutch in it. MANY THANKS AGAIN!!! Oh, any suggestions...

The code is 7TXM-Y-00525758-276B. I have another 700r4 and it DOES have the aux valve body. The code for that one is...

    1987 Suburban V10 4X4 700R4 Trans id???

    Hey thanks for the quick reply. At least the 6 bolt holes for the flywheel cover designates it for 4WD. I am wanting to know if I can replace it with an auxiliary valve body transmission as a direct bolt up without having to modify/change anything. Since the 700R4 shift points are hydraulic and...
