[Syty] RE:700R4

[Marion Cole]

I replaced the transmission in my Syclone six years ago. I bought a
replacement from Chevrolet for $850. Several experts on the LIST advised
me not to go this way but my thinking was that a stock tranny had served
me well and I had no major upgrades to the engine. It was rebuilt with
Eagle Rods and KB Pistons but is basically stock. That transmission has
served me with no problems. When I replaced the tranny, I also installed
the stock TC that came with it. The TC I had in place was one from The
Converter Shop. The reason the tranny broke was I had it in OD and was
going slow behind a garbage truck and floored it to pass the truck.
Tranny went BAM. Most probably blew out the forward sprag. Truck would
still work in all gears and I drove it for a couple of weeks. I live
just north of Dallas in McKinney, TX. If anyone would be interested in a
700 core and TCS converter (this was what many were using six years ago)
please send an email. The TC I have was only used from the time I
rebuilt the engine to the tranny problem (around 15K miles). I used a
stock when I replaced the tranny because I found a stock TC to be a
smoother ride over the TCS TC. I was later informed that the ride would
have been better if I had modified a metering rod in the tranny.

 

I'm making tranny and TC available because they have just been sitting
gathering dust for six years. Again the tranny did work but something is
broke BUT if you are planning to build a tougher tranny, you would be
replacing the stock parts that are broke anyway. I do not remember what
I paid for the TC but I'll offer both for $250 (About what I paid for
the TC) if anyone in Dallas area has an interest. I'm not interested in
buying the crate necessary to ship. I think some of the tranny experts
could use this core and about $500 in parts to build a strong
Street/Strip unit. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and many may
think its outrageous that I offer a used TC and broke tranny for sale.
I'm simply trying to find out if anyone would have interest. Does anyone
need or want this? I do not care if anyone buys it. I'm just trying to
help someone that might have a need. As I stated it has been sitting for
a long time and I'm just letting the LIST know just in case someone
wants a tranny CORE and TCS TC.

SyTy has a specific output shaft (unique to SyTy), completely different
valve body calibration and separator plate, 2/4 servos, and most likely
the governor.

It could be converted, but it would be just as easy to rebuild the
stocker. And you'd know what you have.

Might be good to have the camaro one for core. It's hand to have an
extra pump that you can send for machining, have one ready to go when
you're ready to put things back together.
