THM-700R4 detailed information
A while ago a member of a Finnish bulletin board mentioned having a detailed list of the changes made to 700R4s by GM during the production run. I asked him for it and he was kind enough to provide it, so in turn i'll share it with you. I can not validate the authenticity of the list but i'm positive it's correct.
In addition, 1982-1985 models are not listed but that should not be a big deal since they're pretty much obsolete by now.
