Re: looking for a 700r rebuilder in tn

Hey just a quick suggestion. Spending the extra money on racing clutches is not worth the money . Transmission are Hydralic pumps that hydromatically shift the "gears" clutch packs. What you need to do is get your pump pressure up. The higher the pressure the better the clutches grip( like a stronger pressure plate in a manual truck). As for stall converters I wouldn't because they keep your pressure down so the clutches slip to give you your "stall". therefore transmissions will have a short life. If you don't have a big cam and are not planning on drag racing the truck a stock converter well do you fine.
Oh a reputable trans mechanic should be able to get the pump pressure up by installing better springs, or look for a 700r out of a cop car, or a Iroc camaro. They have what they call a 10 vein pump where a standard 700 only has a 7 vein pump. Thats My 2 cents worth.
