Re: My Possible Project (1990 Suburban)

Also, the TH700 have some pretty bad gearing for a large truck. First gear is really steep, but you have to make a huge leap from 1st to 2nd (almost as much ratio change as 1st to 3rd in some other transmissions). This leads to a really sluggish 2nd gear performance, and some pretty odd ranges where the transmission will and will not downshift.

The TH400 in my C20 has a lot more useable spacing than the TH700 in my R1500. Even in a car as light as my GTA, the huge 1-2 shift gap of the TH700 tends to really bog down the acceleration.
