Here's some feedback! If you are planning on rebuilding the early tranny keep in mind that the later ones had some desirable
upgrades, so getting a later model like an '88 or '89 would be to your advantage. If
you haven't rebuilt a 700-r4 before, it would
probably be in your best interest to hire
someone with an excellent reputation to build
it for you. If you must rebuild one yourself,
be sure to check out:
www.transonline.com/electroPublisher

and click on the transmission of your choice.
BTW, because of the springs and snaprings, I always wear some sort of eye protection
when rebuilding transmissions.

Here's a link to some pretty good rebuild parts: http://www.hptransparts.com

The thing I don't like about that kit is TCI doesn't make frictions, nor any the parts in the kit, so what are they? Without knowing I wouldn't buy it, chances are they are pretty good (one of the better brands)

Maybe Summit would open the box and tell you what the brand name of the parts are.
