Ok so I'm ordering my rebuild kit this week for the tranny And iv found 2 dif versions which one is right for my car it's a 1987 with a 5.0

GM 700R4 4L60 Transmission Overhaul Rebuild Kit 85 87 | eBay


GM 700R4 4L60 Transmission Overhaul Rebuild Kit 87 93 | eBay

 

They look to have the same things except the one going up to 93. That would have a few more other stuff. There's also this site 700R4 700R4 from PATC, 700 Raptor Transmission, 47RE, 47RE 48RE in case you wanted to add more power like a different motor the trans would already be built for it.

 

87 to 93 have an updated valve body. that should be the one you need.

 

Right now the main concern is getting the tranny working again I want to do a manual swap but it's not in the budget so it will have hold on while the funds build up I will be doing a shift kit

 

There are some internal differences between the 82 to early 87 vs later 87-up models, such as the upgraded sprag, pump, clutches and valve body. You'd want to find out which one you have. There's a reason why there are two different rebuild kits for the same "year". You would be best off contacting one of the performance transmission companies, like PATC linked above.

 

Ok I called a few diff shops today and everyone was closed until January 2nd

 

I called hawks 3rd gen today and just waiting for a tech guy to call me back

 

I know the the 84-85 and I think 86's where a nightmare with revisions. I think I still have a VHS of the 700r4 trainging video. It is hour and 30 minutes long. The first 45 minutes where on how to rebuild the tranny. The second 45 minutes was how to deal all the different revs. If this build date order this kit, if this build date order date order that kit. It normally would not be two bad but 45 minutes worth of that? Training videos are great but in this case a "if" "Then" document would have been better.

The mid 80's 700R4 and the Th440's of the same time frame made me regret having Automactic transmission rebuilding on my resume.

Good luck

 

Thanks thankfully I'm not the one rebuilding it all I have to do is find the right rebuild kit and remove the trannmisson I have somone rebuilding for me I'd just to pissed and just end up slinging everything

 

Alright I'm starting to get extremely pissed now iv called all the well know trannmisson shops around j-ville and they all say they will have a tech call me back but never do
