Anyone use the ATSG tranny manuals?

I'm digging into my 700r4 again and was wondering if anyone has used the ATSG manual. Does it have diagrams of check ball locations,etc? Maybe a 700r4Dummies section?

It doesn't have a 700r4 for dummies but it is a very worthwhile piece to have if you are rebuilding a trans. Exploded diagrams is what I use them mostly for

Thanks! That's what I was most concerned with too

there is like 3 700 manuals one for the early up to 86,a 87-1993,a update or in other words the changes done by the factory over the years.

they do show check ball locations.

good manuals

Thanks. I was looking at the 87-93 edition and the Update Handbooks on the ATSG site. I'm debating on those or a book by Cliff Ruggles which I can pick up quick at B&N.

Before I rebuilt my 700r4, I bought the ATSG book and a CD by Paul Zank. Both were very helpful and so far no problems with about 5000 miles on rebuild.

I also installed a shift kit.....along with the ATSG book and CD, they show check ball locations and which ones to move or remove.

Thanks wheels. I just got a Superior Shift Correction pack and a few other shift related parts to install and want to be ahead of the game. But waiting for shipping is starting to make me hyper and I'm dying to get my beast back on the road. I'm headed to Barnes n Noble tomorrow to check on a book by Cliff Ruggles and HOPE it's not shrink wrapped so I can see if it contains info I want.
