I got my transmission from an undisclosed location. I don't wish to disclose where I got it from until I have a few K on it, so don't ask, I won't answer.
Yup, it's a 700R4. I forgot to takes pics of the one I pulled out. Looks just like this one, just dirtier. I also installed a bowtie overdrives TV made EZ kit and their lock-up kit. I already had a 700R4 in the truck, so no further mods were necessary. This took me most of the weekend as I didn't have the proper tools. IE a lift, trans jack, and any other tool that makes this pain in the ass job go easier. All I had were a couple of POS jacks, jackstands, and hand tools. Good thing I only weighed 165lbs, my skinny ass barely fit under the truck. I also spent some time getting the exhaust hung again. No more rubbing the driveshaft!
I took the truck for a test drive. Only about 4 miles. It was a BLAST! I freaked out at first cause I only had 3 gears, but then I realized my lokar shifter was only in 3
I highly recommend LOKAR shifters, VERY nice product! I'm afraid of driving it anymore until I get a trans pressure gage and check the pressures. May need to adjust the TV cable. Don't want to burn up another one. But the shifts did feel good.
On a side note, my dumb ass broke the retainer clip for the speedometer gear. OF COURSE NO ONE CARRIES IT BUT GM. GM IS CLOSED ON SATURDAYS!
I'm going to have to take my tailshaft back apart and put it in so I have a functioning speedometer again.
