Try this link. About 1/3 of the way down. Looks like there is one kit for 93 to 97 700R4/4L60E's, and another one for 98 to 04's. But it's not cheap at all.

Only other thing I know of is the Cable-X box. Look further down on the same page I linked to. But again, not cheap and it's an electronic gizmo instead of a mechanical connection..

It's the same problem with T56's. That's why I figured out how to mod mine for a cable drive.

I machine the tail housing and make a special sleeve for the conversion. It's only for the T56's.

This is only for a T56, won't work with a 700R4/4L60E.
