[Syty] RE:700R4

[DOlivares]

I'll keep you in mind...

I live in San Antonio and have got upwards of 140kmiles on Sy #773.  Eventually, I'm gonna have to tear something down and it's good to be shopping for rare parts and cores 'cause I work better (whenever I can manage it these distracted daze) on a trans or longblock on a nice STAND or bench without the pressure and clutter of a engine-stripped hulk lying around and accusing me!  Better to swap-in a fresh, correctly built engine in one step!  And best to keep a project car MOBILE for as long as possible before a major transplant-- spoken as an EXPERT... who's got 3 vehicles lying around in various states of disassembly and a lo-o-o-o-o-ong way from any kind of street-worthy state.

D.O.

  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.
