Re: need some help

The 87 700R4 has the improvements from the factory that this transmission needed to become reliable. Mileage wise, it's all teens, no surprise there. Towing is more limited by the short wheelbase than anything else. A heavy load will pull noticeably when you turn, it'll get your attention.
