700r4

[bugmasta]

I run a 700r4 behind a 383 stroker with a posi 3.73 rear end and its a dream. Overdrive with lockup is awesome, and the slightest bit of throttle and it dumps a gear and launches at freeway speeds.

Are you using a separate toggle switch to turn your lock up on ??

Nope, I use the stock pressure switch. I could easily install an override switch to force it into lockup, but it seems to function just fine as designed.

I just installed a 700r4 i use a toggle switch to lock up, locking up the converter it drops 200 rpms.

I run 3.73 rear gears. any less gear and i would think it would bog the motor down to much and fuel milage would suffer.

If you don't mind me asking. How are you using the stock pressure switch. I'd much rather do that than run a separate switch.

Just curios.
Anybody else in this forum is running a 700r4 without lock up?
Are you using a lock up system from BOWTIE OVERDRIVE?

I drove mine for a bit without the sensor connected and thought it was ok. Then after I got the sensor connected, it was like night and day. Would never go back to not having the lockup. It's almost like having a 5th gear.

I have a brake pedal switch that essentially tells the pressure switch when I am off the brakes. Then the rest is handled by the internal fluid pressure of the transmission.

Some guys will also run an idiot light off the pressure switch so they know when their tranny is locked up.

The guy who built my tranny set it up for me so I just know the basics on how it functions.
