[Syty] 700r4 trans

[DOlivares]

Great analysis!

I never got much beyond Chrysler 904/998/727 TorqueFlites for that kind of detail.  Beyond fiddling with governor-springs, shift-kits (no wonder that B&M Kit made no difference!), TC-swaps, vac-modulator tweaks, and cooling tech, I never got that much "into" GM trannies.

Do the same specs apply to the Syclone Transmissions?

Thanx again,

D.O.

  The SyTy transmission is basically a Corvette Transmission with 4x4
  tailshaft, output shaft and a stiffer/better shifting Valve Body.  The
  F-body tranmission doesn't have all the Corvette upgrades, including
  the WOT 3-4 shift.  You would to swap tailshafts (easy) and output
  shaft not easy.  Swapping the output shaft require 95% tear down of
  the f-body transmission.  You might as well rebuildit while your at
  it.  Infact I would just rebuild the Ty tranmission.  If you want
  something with out any down time get a 4x4 700r4 from 88-93, rebuild
  it with the corvette servo and couple of upgrades.  Grab the Valve
  body, seperator plate, Servo and governor from your Ty transmission
  and install those items.
