1) How do i tell exactly which 700r4 i have? Like is there any type of identification to tell between the 27 spline and the 30 spline transmissions?

2) My shifter seems very hard to shifter between the gears. I had it apart and it seems to be the actually cable coming from the transmission. Is there any way to make the cable easier to shift i.e. lithum grease or something?

 

Anybody?

I need to order a converter but im not sure which 700r4 i have...is there any way externally to tell which number of splines i have?
