TH400 to 700R4 Conversion | In Depth How To
We join the original MonStar, Curt, in the garage today as he shows us how to convert from a original factory transmission, a TH400 in this case, to a Monster 700R4.
Now why would you want to go through this process? Not only is the 700R4 a more durable model, designed for heavy duty usage, but it also provides better gas mileage from the stronger overdrive, and a lower gear ratio by a factor of 20% than what can be found on most transmissions,
Curt goes over how to remove the original transmission from the vehicle, from the driveshaft and the torque converter to the unit itself.
From there, he uses one of Monster’s most popular products, the Master Conversion Package, to install the newly remanufactured transmission into the vehicle.
Items included in this kit include the actual 700R4 transmission, a performance torque converter, all the cables, bolts, and gears that are needed, a universal dust cover, and much much more.
Everything you need to know about upgrading your transmission can be seen in this step by step process with Curt. The process can be done by just about anyone with the right tools, making this less of a chore.

Thanks I bought a 700R4 and had no Idea how to get it to work, after watching the video, no problems.
Great video even for us seasoned swappers. Love that you can get the components to correct the shifter and indicator for the 4-speed trans.
Good job explaining every step. One thing to mention about the flex plate on a 454 engine is the plate has extra balance weight welded to it. If not used it will vibrate.
For anyone installing the torque converter, the converter must have at least 1qt of ATF inside as indicated, but turning and pushing to fully seat can be checked very easy. If you place a straight edge or even a length of 2 X 4 that straight, you will be able to slide your thumb or index finger between the two. If not fully seated, the torque converter will crack the front pump gear.
Just received my kit. The order process was smooth, pickup and return of my unit went without a hitch.
one of the best instruktions i have ever seen . and easy to understand also for germans .
this helped me alot. I'm building a old monte carlo and new to transmission set up. Got a hold of a 700r and i had no idea what to do with the lock up wire. very detailed and informative. thahnkyou

Thank you. Excellent tutorial for the TH400/700R4 swap, just what I needed.
Terrific job, Curt! Your clear instructions will make this job much easier for me when my new Monster 700R4 goes into my '68 Chevelle. Then, on to upgrading the '67 GTO's TH400!
very good video, this man knows what he is doing.
Great video! Was considering this conversion for my daily-highway-driver 88 suburban 3/4 ton 5.7L because OOOOFA the gas mileage!!!
