Youve got to be kidding me?! I am very intimidated by this thing!....Im for sure not got to tackle this job. My lcuk, well we know what would happen then.

Hey, how can I tell if I got the .500 boost or whatever it called, Dana said he included it with my kit.

 

whoops forgot picture..Im talkng springs, bushings, this and thats! ...WOW!


What is the big wheel looking thing?

 

while i have yet to add a transgo to my tranny, in the camaro, i can tell you this, i have done a transgo in my 99 f150's tranny 3 times its easy as pie, and i have done them in freinds cars. I have not done one in a 700r4 yet but i dought its hard. the big "wheel" looking thing loks to me to be a accumulaor piston, but i'm not sure as i have never opened a 700r4 up before.

 

Looks like the instructions have improved! The big wheel like thing is the 2/4 band apply servo, which also doubles up as the 3rd gear accumulator. IOW: the 'Vette servo.

When I installed one I first went through the parts and the instructions until I was familar with it all. I also had the factory service manual to help out.

I then marked up the instructions with the parts & changes to be made. This included items such as full manual vs auto shifting, which boost valve, what year trans, which holes to drill/plug. I X'd out areas that I did not require.

Then I grabbed a bunch of plastic sandwhich baggies and some labels. I went through the instructions and for each step I put those parts into a baggie and labeled it with the step letter. Some I also labeled as to what the parts actually were. There will also be parts left over.

Once in the garage it was just a matter of going through the steps, grabbing the correct bag of parts and doing that step. Check marked it off and did the next step.

Actually saved me too: as I completed all of the steps I noticed a baggie of parts left in the box. Opps, lets put this part in too, missed a step. . . First time in a tranny past the filter.

Oh, and put a drain plug in the pan too. You will thank yourself later. . .
