Ahoy, the tranny in my dads sub is not shifting into 3rd or 4th so I am looking for a new or used one and I need to know what kind of tranny it is. Its a 350 half ton automatic.
Thanks in advance!

it's definitely a 700r4. you can have it rebuilt for about $1200 I believe. You've got to be really careful about a used one b/c you don't know when that's going to go out...

Cool, thanks for the replies guys!
Ill keep that in mind about the used one but 1200 is alot to spend at the moment.

Out of curiosity, what was his price?? He quoted me $1400 to have a 700R4 installed in my '69 Burb complete minus driveshaft mods. I regret big time not doing it. There is a guy I work with who dealt with him, who said he helped with his truck more than he was obligated too. Also, the shop I got my engine from in Glendale, recommended him also for installing a 700 in my Burb. Like I said, I regret not doing it.

I was quoted 800 something and same day service. I also asked him about the t5 tranny from my 86 merkur xr4ti and he said that since I already have the tranny out he would take it apart and look it over and would put it back together if I decided not to have them do any work on it. All for free, thats rare.
