Taking the slush out of a TH700-R4 what are the best products to use??
I'm looking to rebuild my tranny in the near future and want to start getting the parts together but am not sure what brands would give me the best performance and longest life. If heard that transgo is the best shift kit to buy so I'll go with that but is there more than one type of kit? Before I registered on this board I almost went with the B&M so that's one mistake you guys saved me from. But now what type of rebuild kit should I buy. I'm looking to build a really good street/strip 700-R4. I'm only running a stock 305 TBI with upgrades coming in the near future.
In the Summit catalog they list a Hughes Performance overhaul kit, it says that it's to build a championship-caliber race tranny and that it comes with all the best components. Would this be too much for a daily driven car? Should I go with a rebuild kit by TCI or are there any others that you guys recommend?

Here is my basic recipe:
TransGo Reprogramming kit and the Hi Rev release springs that come with it. TransTec O/H Kit. TransGo Hi Rev Pump Ring Kit. 4L60E 3-4 pack (High Energy) and Input Sprag Assembly. All Borg Warner frictions and 4L60E High Energy B/W Band. Corvette rear planetary. NEW GM Sun Shell. Minimum endplay settings. Depending on power, 553 Servo or 093 (Vette). .422" PR Boost Valve for small block, .477 for big block or HIGH power small block. .282 Int/Rev Boost Valve. TruCool LPD cooler and bypass the radiator.
The converter choice depends completely on the power band of the engine. Your stall should be at or just below where your engine STARTS to make power and the WOT shift points should be set so that it is completed BEFORE the power starts to fall off (NOT your max RPM). A top quality converter supplier is Continental: The number for Continental Converters in Inglewood Ca. is 1-310-674-1072

I carry everything that transfixleo recommends and that I recommend and more. If I can be of help call me at 800 7763288 M-S 10-6 PST or e-mail me. Are you planning on doing the rebuild yourself?, or are you planning on buying a Performance 700R4 transmission outright? Let me know.
