    ? on the zpaks and other 700R4 parts

    So the billet servo, will it work with the corvette servo already installed? The billet servo, is the 4th apply piston larger than stock? I just ordered this, Superior #K034 Should I install this at the same time? Superior # K012 Thanks for the help! I'm hoping this is something I can do to...

    My current trans has the corvette servo. Will a billet servo help even if I've probably slipped the band a few times? In a discussion with a Raybestos tech, he also indicated the Z-pak was probably up to the task, but he preferred the Gen II Blue Plates in this type application. So unless...

    I understand and am OK with that. This trans will not see steady track use. I just want to build it as best as can be done. One never knows what improvement will be coming up.

    This post got a bit off topic but, I'd hoped some of the tech here would respond. I get the feeling they only post to their customers. I also understand they are busy people with a living to make. If that is the case, that's cool I understand, but someone needs to tell the newbies what the...

    Yes, I've read these two links. Very good information. But I was hoping for something more specific to my questions. Thanks.

    Thanks you, I'll gladly add the link. I just don't want to intrude so much as this is a Buick forum. I love all things GM, but don't knot how the community will react to me barging in here with a pickup. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2554547

    Hi guys, going to build up a max effort 700R4 for my S10 street strip truck. It has a 406SBC that is built mild with 375-400HP & 400-425lb. ft. of torque. It's got a narrowed 9" 4.56 rear running 31X18.5X15 MT Sportsman on the street and a set of Hoosiers 31X14X15 slicks for the strip. The...

    I know, and I looked at that solution and around here the 200 cores are very hard to find. Only a few selling and they are usually already rebuilt either stock or who knows what and they want $600-$1000. I'm doing the build up myself to cut costs. The 700R4s are still plentiful and cheap to...

    Can I ask ?s about 700R4s here or just 200R4s

    Hi guys, I've got some questions to ask about rebuilding a 700R4 and see there are some very knowledgeable folks here. But this is a Buick forum and I know you guys speak 200R4 instead of 700R4. I don't want to ruffle any feathers.

    Hello, I'm new to this board and have been reading a lot. I was excited to hear about the new low ratio parts for a 700R4/4L60 finally being ready. Then I seen the price. Hey I know you need to recoup your R&D and manufacturing cost and all, but that just priced me out of using it for my...

    Hello. I've been a member for a while but this is my first post. Although I don't own a turboBuick, I get a lot of knowledge from you folks. My main focus will be learning how you keep these 200R4 and 700R4 transmissions alive. I hope I can add something to the board in return for the help.
