Well back to 700's... I know that this doesn't apply to everyone but I just found a local guy who had a good rep for building trannies rebuild mine when mine died... Ordered the corvette servo, .500 boost valve, beast sun gear shell, and transgo shift correction kit and had him install it all for $200 bucks... been running strong with firm shifts for a few months now (and I'm running 37's with 3.73's
). Got to get the trans cooler and temp gauge in mine, I think heat is the number one killer of 700's and the main reason for their bad rep. Mine is in my '89 K5 so it's computer controlled instead of vacuum. The only thing I regret is not going higher on the rebuild kit, the one with the kevlar and extra OD clutches or whatever it is, would have been nice. Ask around at local parts stores or shops they might know someone
