alright from what i've read it seems my tranny(700r4) aint too long for this road (85,000+ miles). What i want to do, and makes sense in my mind is to go to the boneyard, find a beat to nothing 700r4, order the pro-built rebuild kit and replace all the garbage inside the junk one with all the nice new stuff, and swap the tranny's over the next weekend? I say this b/c it's my daily driver, and i want time to do the rebuild right. I figure that a 700r4 shell is just that, a shell, and that no matter how bad the boneyard one is it'll be great with the rebuild..or is there something im missing


Thanks
Josh

 

nothing guys? if im a dumbass just let me know and i'll give up, if not just tell me i can and i will try

 

well as long the holes aren't stripped or the case cracked it should be too bad. the case can eventually wear out but i believe they make oversize parts for some of the parts in the trans. if you do get a case, get a 88+ case. those are better designed than the previous years.
