Title: electric 700-R4 transmission to a manual
Post by: sailor erl on February 23, 2010, 02:22:11 am
well its something new to me, cuz i really haven't study the transmissions conversions. i may be buying a electric 700-R4, but the thing is my truck which is a 73 c10 is with the original 350 block and 350 turbo transmission with a manual choke carburetor . is there a way to convert the 700-R4 electrical to a manual?? or can a convert the block to a electrical to connect the transmission??? ???

I'm not really sure what you are asking? The only thing electronically actuated in the 700R4 is the TCC solenoid. the electronic version of the 700R4 is a 4L60E

If you get a 700R4(4L60), as vile said the TCC is the only electronic part.  This would be any 700R4 from 82-92
4l60E (electronic 700R4) started in 1993.

All you need for a pre 1993 700R4 is a switch to lock the Torque converter.

4L60 doesn't need an ECM only the 4L60E.

If you meant convert it to full manual shift, you can do that too.
