Re: transgo

mine came with a .500 but i asked for it...I know PRO BUILT would know the answer to this. Dana should be lurking around here, PM him. I'd like to know myself...like I said, i'm only an amature at this rebuild stuff-I just built my 13th 700R4 last night.

Re: transgo

If the kit is from TransGo, it will have the .500" main boost valv and the .300" intermediate/reverse boost valve also.

Re: transgo

The kit Performance Shift kit from TransGo for the 700R4 has the 4th gear modifications for a firmer 4th gear. You can go larger than the stated .155" feed hole for the 4th gear feed hole in the separator plate. I use .187" - .204". TransGo used this size in previous kits a few years ago. I would only do this modification that I suggest with a 10.5" or smaller diameter torque converter.
