how hard is it to install a 3-4 clutch pack on a 700r-4 and do a rebuild or how much $ it would cost to get someone to do it 4 me
?

 

So, you fried your 3-4 pack eh? I did a full rebuild of mine recently, it cost me ~400 to do it with a new converter, bigass cooler, all the small stuff and a basic rebuild kit. I messed up on the TV cable (TPI TV cable on a TBI motor) and burned the 3-4 pack a second time, costing me ~100 more after fluids and such (I ended up using ~4-5 gallon to flush the converter well) I have about another 75-100 in valve body mods as well (Transgo HD shift kit, 'vette servo boost valve 9C1 3-4 assembly and so on) to boot. The pics I took while I did it can be found here. Oh yeah, it's not 100% done (have a few more pics but not many)

Besides that I will add BLOW $30 ON A NEW TV CABLE. I got one from the JY that was stretched beyond adjustment (think it was there with a blown trans, imagine that) mine had 1/2 inch of stretch in it compared to the new one too so I'm wondering if it took my old trans out.

 

It took me about two weeks to do start to finish. But I have a nice shop with a lift (very helpful).

It's not too hard. Just take your time and don't rush things and follow instructions. Get ATSE book for $10 - it is totally worth it for this job.

It cost me about $200 in clutches/bands, etc. and I put in a $500 3000 stall converter. I also got the TV bracket setup from bowtie overdrives. Man that thing works great. $100 but it is worth it in my opinion to not burn up your brand new tranny

If you have a shop rebuild it I think I was quoted a minimum of about $800, but most wanted more. And then you'd have to work with them to have them put in the beefier parts.

 

My friend fried his 3-4 clutch packs twice. He just ended up putting new trannys in instead of the rebuild process.

 

What about the Z-Pack clutch pack for 3-4, anyone of you installed these in your trans....,

Hare they realy strong or not.
