Very comprehensive and thorough. You even state the parts by name. I cant believe this very informative video is free. Pro tech and instructor. Thank you boss man.

This is most completed rebuild video I have found for a 700R4. Thank you for taking the time to explain and show all the details. I feel more confident about rebuilding my 700R4 with my son.

Great video. I have been a professional mechanic for 45 years but have always let transmission shops handle the automatics. I've can do anything with engines, manual trans, t-cases, differentials. Now thanks to you I know I can do this myself. You are awesome.

This is possibly the best instructional automotive video I have ever seen on youtube! Great self camera work and complete explanations! Perfect!

Thank you so much,,,,with my respect from Bangkok.

Im rebuilding my first 700r4 and this video is amazing normally i dont comment on videos but you pretty much sum up everything thing needed for disassembly which is amazing. Thank you

I really appreciate the time you take to produce these videos. 👍 Thanks!

You make such good videos. You explain everything in detail. AWESOME!

This is by far the best video on transmissions an what goes In to rebuilding one I have ever seen

This is definitely going to come in handy when i rebuild my 89 Trans Am's transmission! Thank you!!

Hey man thanks for sweating to an oldie I really appreciate your hard work and wisdom.

Dude - this is Excellent !! Thank you very much for taking the time to post this with such detail !

Hiram, This is another great video from beginning to end. I are doing a great service to all your viewers showing them tips, tricks things to look for. No one except a few look at the captured check valves, not just the loose ones found in the valve body in the “Bath Tubes” where the lives. Wether a guy has a number of tools or all, the option to use what you have comes out. Nice, clear, easy to hear. Just a great just as they can rewind and watch over as needed. I always love finding bad stuff and mistakes made by the last guy. The 87 era was the last year that the VB was drilled for converter clutch hydraulic control but simply has plugs. Adding a 40 tooth tone rings on out the output shaft and use a 92 and up sensor to get a VSS to and electronic instrument cluster. Just a great job of explaining. Thanks!

This has been the best video of a 700r4 transmission rebuild I have ever seen well done👍

I was JUST thinking i need to rebuild my 700, and then this vid pops up, awesome! :D

Thanks for explaining each part and what to look for. Even if I do not do this myself at least now I have an idea of what is involved and what tools I would need. Looks like I have everything except that spring compressor. Cheers.

Exceptional video sir!!! Thank you for taking your time to make this video. I'm from Houston and I can feel your pain about the heat. You've definitely mastered your craft

Amazingly detailed. You are an asset to all DIYers.

Definitely knows his stuff. He makes it look like washing dishes!!

Thanks a lot for showing us your work 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👍🏽

You showed high expertise, such that, hard uninstall operation looks like an easy one !!! Thanks for the effort ...

Thank you very much for the time you taken out of your day to explain to us what the Hecks going on inside that 700r4

Great video by the way! We sure did miss you there for a while!

Great review and explanation of part ID and reasons for disassembly procedure. I might be biased on this video since I have an 89 GMC V1500 Suburban with this same transmission. All original transmission 136,000 miles, 4th fluid and filter change except years back my local transmission shop suggested to put in a Corvette servo and they adjusted the TV cable, that was in 1992. Has a really good firm1 to 2 upshift but 2 to 3 is getting less firm under full throttle. Thanks Hiram.

welcome back.. been awhile... love your vids. ill never do this. but i find these awesome

Thank you. Because of you I saved money and decided not to replace the sun shell. This will be my first 700r4 build.

excellent excellent . the best example i have ever seen. thank you.

THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!, AWESOME JOB MAN!... U HAVE A NEW SUBSCRIBER!

Thanks you you are a true inspiration

Watch part 2, it's the rebuild portion of the same transmission.

by far the best how to video Many Thanks

I'm waiting for part 2. thanks for part 1.

great video, really enjoyed it. can't thank you enough for all the information in your explanations... expert level stuff. the fan noise doesn't bother me, maybe place a small one under the bench or a big slow moving one that doesn't hurt your audio quality 🤷🏻‍♂️. take care of yourself 👍. keep em coming.

..Glad You're Back..🏆🔧

Man I am only like 2 mins into this video yeah your a god send

Just like the last guy said you make great videos you really pay attention to detail. Those gm tranny's always make me a little nervous because they seem to have more parts. I like rebuilding the non electronic for fun they seem to be easier.

Awesome video!!

As i've said before, USE THE FAN!! i've lived in Texas and 110F is way to hot to not use a fan. Also it's not the fan making the noise, it's the ballast in the lights and it's not a problem. I've been subscribed for a long time and your doing fine so thank you for the video.

Thanks Hiram, your videos are so good! I am doing a rebuild on my 700, just waiting for parts...and for part 2! :D

It's out, check it out.

Fantastic! Thank You very much

Nice work. Thank you for doing this. At 41:50 you talk about interchanges between 4L60 and 60e front to back lube seals. Fig 100 page 62 of the ATSG manual states they are not interchangeable and the proper seal is determine by matching the output shaft to the figure. I am doing an autopsy on my otherwise perfect 700R4 and it turns out the rear planetary failed likely due to the previous builder using a mismatched seal.

Thank you for this comprehensive tutorial. Awesome job. Sure wish I knew the brand and model number of those C ring pliers. Ive fought that final ring for an hour.

What an informative video

Hey Great Video. I am going to attempt to build my 85 K10 700r4.

Buen maestro gracias por los videos

Great job man. Every educational video needs to be detailed like this. On KZread. My only hopes was. That you would have listed all of those parts that are considered " extra " when ordering a rebuild kit. I mean the stuff that doesn't come with a rebuild kit. Or maybe you could list a place where we can order one from confidently knowing we got EVERYTHING. I'd rather just do all the bearings a d everything while it's open anyway! I still Give this an 11 of out 10. Sir. Thank you very much.

Hiram no longer seems to be active, so FYI for anyone interested: Possibly Sonnax Servo Release Check Valve Kit, Part No. 77701-076, 2nd Gear Servo Release? Sonnax states "Warning: Must be used with properly functioning OE capsule." I decided to replace the OEM capsule check ball: GM Genuine Parts 8634400 Automatic Transmission Clutch Accumulator Check Valve, and add the Sonnax part number, while I had everything apart. Happy building to all.

Thank you for a great video .I appreciate you giving the identity of each part an what they do ..also what can causes the trans trouble

Great videos you explain everything and keep it to the point. I have a question that I hope you can help with 92 - 700-r4 I went to install a shift kit along with new accumulator pistons, corvette servo and .500 boost valve in the pump long story short the new boost valve is somehow stuck inside its bore like maybe it's wedged I don't know tbh . Any ideas for getting it back out and can those bores be honed or is it best to replace the pump

I can rebuild any transmission from watching this channel💯👌

goo vid man

Awesome video!!! Hey can just the pump/drum be removed without removing the pan, valve body, accumulators, and all that on bottom? It's a newly rebuilt trans that the TV cable was initially set up wrong, it was only driven about 5 miles but now the cable was adjusted correct and it still won't go into 3rd and has black clutch material in the pan. So I'm thinking the TV cable error messed up 3rd and wondering if I can just pull the drum and repair the 3rd/4th clutches and friction material without breaking down the entire trans. 1st, 2nd and reverse all feel perfect, it just slips going into 3rd.

Hey my name is Doug. Really liked your video 700r4. I have a 700r4 I’m going to rebuild. I’ve never rebuilt a transmission but I believe I can. It’s going in a4x4 everything is stock, regular sized tires. But I pull a trailer from time to time. What do I need just to make the transmission stronger? 1986 k20 5.7 4 bolt stock. And thanks again for the video

I had a fleet of '84, '85 & '86 1/2 ton Chevrolets that we ran nationwide. Could not keep 700R4 transmissions in them. I talked to the local PD and they had same problem with their patrol cars. I even installed a high performance towing 700R4 in one and it did not last. Those things sure left a bad taste in my mouth.

When reinstalling a new sleeve how far does it have to go on does it go right up against the Speedo gear? Or do you have to leave it off for inch or so?

Hi, Great channel! I have an '87 2wd Silverado with a 700R4. My shift selection bracket was falling off and i accidentally popped in into reverse while it was still moving forward (about 5mph) now I have no forward gears but it shifted perfectly before that happened. Any thoughts on what could have happened before I get into a rebuild? Thank you in advance! -Hank

I’ve got a 700r4 in a 86 blazer it’s been rebuilt by a transmission shop but it lost reverse all forward gears work what would be the most common thing that would cause that to happen ?

in your opinion what would be the cause of my 700r4 having reverse and park but no other gears

Have you ever seen a 700r4 with auxiliary vb lock up in Reverse and Neutral? But fine in forward gears.

You are a badass nice vid

Wanting to rebuild mine myself where can I buy a good complete kit with the good parts, also are all the output shafts the same ? I have 4x4 making it a 2wd

Is this a reliable transmission and good for towing a boat? Was thinking of swapping from the th350

Around 1:02:10 related to the 3rd accumulator capsule / check ball, you mention the option to reuse the capsule with check ball by using a Sonnax part that goes on top of that. What Sonnax part number are you referring to? My OEM capsule and check ball is not leaking and I don't like to break something that is working (e.g., a OEM replacement might leak out of the box), but I want to ensure no leakage with the Sonnax backup solution that goes on top of the existing capsule. I can't find the Sonnax part that would fit in the small space above the existing capsule,

i have a 700r4 out of a 85 gmc 4x4 can this video help with that or is the 4x4 diffrent? BTW thank you very much im not the smartest tool in the shed and you made this very easy to follow.

Blocking off the capsule inside the servo what do you gain from plugging it

Why does my 700 shift fast and hold a higher gear causing it to pull when stopping thus causing it to die ( when it’s cold ) but when it’s warm it shift perfect and down shifts perfect I changed the guild and filter with no improvement

Hi how are you ! Have a quick question about a 700r4 transmission in my 82 c10 i was working on my truck so i put the front of the truck on ramps and when the front was on the ramp the transmission starts to leaking oil from the rear en where the drive shaft is connected to the transmission is that normal or maybe a seall is bad????????

I have been trying to figure out where this piece go in the transmission. It was in the oil pan and the transmission reverse don't work. Can you help me out ?

Mine has a flexable “tab” that is connected by one of the 13mm valve body bolts about an 1”1/2 long, what is it there for? ( Near rear yellow electrical plug )

My 700r4 will shift out of 2nd but not into 3rd. Is there anything in the valve body that would cause this?

How difficult and expensive is it to turn an early 700r4 into a good one during rebuild.I don’t remember the # but supposedly you should get one after that #?

Hi my manual shifter shaft that connects to the shifter lever inside my th700r4 tranny pops in and out ever so slightly so I can't get the shifter ( b&m sport shifter) to work properly. People mentioned that there is a 15mm crown nut inside the transmission that holds the manual shifter shaft in... Do you think that it's loose or broken and could be the issue? If I drop the pan, would you know if I have to remove other parts to tighten the crown nut to the manual shifter shaft? Would you, or anyone know the torque for the nut? Thanks for your time and help.

at 12:50 You mentioned building up pressure. When my truck is cold and i step on the throttle i feel a 'dead' spot before it really engages into 1st gear. Could this be because the tranny is cold and hasn't correct pressure yet? Because after that is engaging just fine.

How do you feel about a 700r4 on a 454 build just for fun cruising? No towing and now racing. It would be on an 1989 suburban.

Thank you very much

Can you remove the parking pawl without taking the transmission out of the truck?

Hello. Disculpe tengo un bmw 2008 528i que me gustaría saber que presión debe tener la transmission para cambiar los cambios gracias

What rebuild kit do you use?

hi there I am Billy I have a 1989 chevy silverado k1500 4x4 what seal goes in the back of the transmission?

🤗

In other words, on the governor, governor pressure has to over-ride line pressure in order for it to shift.

Hello, can you give the reference of the last snap ring plier you are using to remove the snap ring @ 1:03:55? I just can't remove it and I can't find any snap ring plier which fit in Switzerland. Thank you.

Could they they build a transmission with only two parts so we don't have to go through this headache? thank you😊

do you do the duel clutch ford 2012 they are a pain

Can you do a complete tear down and rebuild an 11-14 f150 6r80 plz. I would really appreciate it

Do you know any good rebuilders in the Florida southwest region?

where can I find a guy in the Chicago area that does your qualty of work on transmissions???

I would like to know are you still rebuilding transmission

Heard you mention Houston, is there a way to contact you about getting a 700r4 rebuilt?

Understand, I'm a mechanic is Texas. You are a Saint for turning off your fan.

What's the purpose of the load spring

Where in Texas is this shop located ?

I have an 83 700r4 behind a 6.2 diesel. Would I benefit at all switching to a 13 rotor pump? Also is there anything different besides the governor and the convertor on a diesel transmission?
