Different ratios for the 700-r4

Call Chris Kokkonis at www.ckperformance.com or E-mail him
at trannyman0101@aol.com. I believe he offers a 2.66:1 ratio
for a 700-r4, but you may have to buy a transmission with them
installed.

Check for a loose or missing engine-to-body ground strap.
There should be at least one from the rear of a head to the body.
Some yokes have a vent hole in the rear which can cause a leak.
