Important Things to Remember when Installing a 700R4 Transmission

I'll tell you what. If this transmission lasts any length of time, it is thanks to the work from the guys at Bowtie Transmissions. I tried to do the install on my own and failed twice. The first time, my torque converter gap was off. The second time, it was a plethora of different small problems that all added to the 700R4 biting the dust. Chris and Duane from Bowtie helped to diagnose the problems and go through in-depth explanations on why things were messing up and how they were supposed to work. First up, my TV cable geometry was not correct. Second, one of my dowel pins seemed to have worked itself out on the trail or the street, and that caused everything to become misaligned. I also had shreds of metal floating through my cooling system. So talk about having our hands full! But the Pitbull is officially back together! And with 2020 coming to a close, we look forward to the adventures we will have living the Bronco lifestyle in 2021. Thanks for watching!

[@Fordbronco68]

Glad you got it fixed up and learned a lot in the process! Great video as usual guys 🤘

[@wildhorses4x4]

Thanks, Andy! Definitely a fun experience!

[@chrisjgilmore1]

Show us the TV cable adjustment by the professional!

[@54suburban5]

A Long video with no actual tips!!! 😒

[@toddz691]

Great to hear, Mitch! Sounds like you got all the things corrected. Do they not have a TV cable setup for the Pro-Flo system? Were they running pressure gauges when testing the transmission?

[@wildhorses4x4]

They had to modify an existing plate and modify a tiny bit of my throttle linkage to make the setup work. And they did run the pressure gauge, both in the test truck and in my Bronco to make sure everything was dialed in.

[@kevinferrell7033]

What will cause my 700r4 to lose reverse or very slow to go in reverse but will slip if i give it gas and i lose O/D in short distance say 1 mile and trans will slip if going up a hill and steep grade and then i hear a shutter i assume is coming from the toque converter. When cold you take off and gun it it dont slip at all. Does like it should but olny last a short time then i lose od and will slip if i put small amount of throttle. Please help me if you can. I am a poor 60 yr old man and trying to fix this on my own from another trans i pulled less than a yr ago because it wouldnt shift right no matter the adjustment on the tv cable. Still got to were it took 40 plus mile a hr b4 it would shift from 1st to second. m trying to fix one from two. Dont matter witch one long as I can get back on the road. Anyway I hope you see this and can help me. I cant afford to pay anybody to help me so I really would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank You...

[@meadowpuckett2958]

Expensive lesson

[@donbon4204]

what does the letter k mean that is stamped at the bell housing end?

[@oldfart8501]

K is a 4x4 GM truck transmission , your transfer case bolts up to. You will reuse your tail shaft housing , my transfer case is the 208 new process in my 87 tbi 4x4 1/2 ton truck. You will be asked this when ordering a replacement or when combing the boneyard. There's another symbol also but as an old chevy fart I forget these things. Sometimes stuff pops into your head in the checkout line or sitting on the pot.

[@yoyomaa1896]

I really wish these wanna bees would get to the fucking point

[@wildhorses4x4]

[@joshuanewer5254]

It’s because that Chevy trans can’t handle all those Ford ponies bud.

[@cbr1thou]

Hmm thats weird because chevy won the engine buildoffs by making more power
