Transmission guy, need your advice please
 

Hello, what would you suggest for a overhaul kit for a 89 4x4 700r4/4l60.

i was thinking of this kit

# 74009B-BS Complete Service Kit, 700R4, 1987-93
Includes: Overhaul kit, Borg Warner friction clutch plates, steel clutch plates, Borg Warner band, filter, pump bushing, pump seal retainer, Corvette style servo piston, and accumulator piston.
Includes 74006B, 74089, B74020AH, 74010, 74034, A74905BK, (2) A74927
$ 137.76


is this a decent kit,

what about the sun shell? if the OEM looks good reuse it or replace with what? the beast? and OEM replacement?

also what about the front sprag?
if it looks good re-use or replace it? i have heard re-place if it has 50k miles or more? will one from a 4l60-e work?

now for the vette servo, this kit comes with one.. is it a waste? or a good idea,,


VB corection kit 700sk is this a decent kit? made by trans-go.


here is the website i was thinking of purchasing these items..

thanks for your info..






i was also looking at thi#K17. You get a stock Alto 700R4 master rebuild kit, oversize .500" Mega Valve, a Corvette servo plus an Alto Red Eagle band and filter. What this kit has that a stock 700R4 transmission doesn't have is the Alto Red Eagle band and an oversize pressure valve that is .029" larger than the largest factory valve. The Mega Valve will give your transmission firmer shifts and more holding force on the clutches and band. Fits Chevy 1987-1993 700R4 transmissions. Cost $145.00. SAVE $16.00 HERE !, 10% OFF

thanks again..



so far things look good in this trans.

I would definitely recommend that you put in 'The BEAST'. Don't even tempt the devil that is the factory sun shell.

The rest of those components look good. The choice to go with the larger valve is yours. That can make for some snappy shifts, but some say that they are over the top, boarder line violent. The Alto Red band is a good band from what I have read, but the carbon fiber Alto 2-4 band is better.

k ty, anyone else?
