It's a stock 700R4 mated to a stock L98 in an 88 IROC. The way I see it (unless I'm lucky - I'm not a lucky person), I have 3 choices:

1) new 700R4
2) Rebuild of the current unit
3) used 700R4

What are the approximate costs of each of these? Any help would be appreciated. I suppose I am looking for pricing to make sure that the pricing I get from the garage is sensible. Thanks.

 

Theres no such thing as a new 700, a new 700 would be a rebuilt one out of another car.
$900 to $1500 for a "new" rebuild
$900 to $1500 to rebuild yours.
$120 to $600 for a used one.
Tough decision isn't it?

 

or if you plan on doinga lot of autoXing you should swap in a T-56

 

It appears that the labor would be the same for each of the three choices. In addition, a rebuild of mine versus another would be the same, with the time delay being longer for a rebuild of mine...

I HATE manual transmissions, but I LOVE the L98. This is the only tranny that I can use and run in the stock class.

Thanks, guys.

 

AutoX'ing with an automatic trans? Sounds like an excersise in futility

 

Autox with an auto isn't so bad. Especially around here with smallish courses. With a 2.77 rear, I ain't shifting all that much anyway...

Gotta have the auto to run stock and the L98.

By the way I did a typo in the above post I meant to say that I hate AUTOMATIC transmissions. I really wish GM had given us the L98 with a manual.
