Re: 700R4 build thread.

OK, any idea where I can find online Transgo instructions for their kits? Their website isn't exactly detailed in its descriptions, grr...

I've got an '84 version, and looking here and at Transgo's website I'm gathering that the following are the parts I can plan on collecting - the goal being a durable/reliable trans with a hydraulically-controlled TCC.

------------------------------------

Transgo 700-P separator plate
Transgo shift kit SK-700 (???)
Transgo 700-LU kit (???)

Dual pole brake switch
AC Delco 24241501 Teflon Tailshaft bushing
Th350 governor

Sonnax TV plunger valve kit #77966-94K (assuming wear on the existing parts)
Sonnax 77998-03K painless accumulator piston (do away with the pin / piston)
Sonnax 74926 accumulator spring

-------------------------------------





I'm thinking that the Transgo shift kit SK-700 is the way for me to go, as it
* Includes Transgo tv correction kit + good red line bias spring)
* Says "83-87 Valve body, Kit lets you make Torque Converter lockup-no wires or electrical needed" Can anybody confirm that I won't need the 700-LU kit separately?

Or would the Transgo 2-3 reprogramming kit have everything I need and more?

Also, Opinions on the need for the Sonnax parts? Haven't torn into the VB yet, but I'd rather have parts on hand than wait a week to get them.

Anything else I can do to the VB while I'm in there?
