I was wondering if two people could put a 700R4 into a minivan, and then lift it out. Or how else could I transport it?

 

Easy as pie . Put one in the back of my taurus ..........

 

i can lift one myself and carry it around

took one out of my car without a tranny jack by myself with no one's help

 

Do you have an estimate on how much it weighs? Oh and how much would the tranny fluid add to the overall weight?

 

A full tranny, with full fluid, and TC on it I can't lift for long periods of time. I can move it, but I wouldn't exactly call moving anywhere near walking. I put one in the back of my escort with its high hatch, and took it out without anyone elses help. Took a lot of manuvering, and going slow but I got it done.

Now, ditch the Torque Converter, and drain the fluid and I can lift it no problem.

Two people can lift and move a filled 700r4 w/TC no problem.

 

I'd guess 160-200 full.

If I were to move one I would call my friend who benchs 320, and is a hellova lot stronger than me

 

My Mother and Grandmother could pick one up full and put it in a minivan if needed!

 

its not light. you can pick it up and move it around, but like FruityOne said, you wont want to hold it for a extended peroid of time...


when i was in high school, i kept mine stashed in my room.... the day i went to change it, i carried it down a flight of stairs, thru the house and outside to the driveway..... i felt it in my arms for the rest of the day and into the next....


id drain the fluid and pull the converter off if i ever plan to do it again...

 

200 lbs with converter installed.

 

yea, you can lift it...and fruity's prooven that it will fit in the back of a camaro too..

 

And, as Camaro_60108 (Joe) has proven, you can work on a 700r4 without draining the pan, OR making a huge mess!

I'm still amazed at that little though.

 

i picked one up, put it in the trunk of a ford tempo and took it out n carried it all over the palce (couldnt find a place to put it on the ground in the garage)

and that was with torque converter and full of fliud and i'm not a big guy in the least.
