Have you checked Jegs or Summit? I think they sell a TCI kit that makes a 700r4 pretty bullet proof.

Not sure, transmissions are like rocket science to me.

Re: 700r4 rebuild kit?

The most expensive part is buying the special tools. You could spend $3-500 on those.

Re: 700r4 rebuild kit?

I rebuilt one, i used a kit from Auto Zone it was around $80, you need some of those tools. I built the presses to get the snap rings out of a couple spots but you need the tools for the o rings for sure, that what i skipped because they looked good but they were not and it lasted about 400 miles then the fluid pushed past the seals and thats all she wrote.

X2 on Bulkparts, I have used them several times. Get the upgraded basket while your at it, they don't cost that much more and its great insurance.
