Transmissions (Seven Items)
Product Name: Torque Converter Lock-up Kit
Product Description: This kit will automatically lockup the torque converter on a 700 R4 transmission, without need of a computer. This type of torque converter lockup system is often used when an older, non computerized engine, is hooked up with a newer computer controlled transmission. The lock-up will occur in fourth gear and has the capability of locking up the torque converter in second and third gear, say for towing. The kit includes a wiring harness, a replacable transmission solenoid as shown by the arrow on the left, the electrical connections, and directions.

Product Name: Converter Lock-up Control
Product Description: This product comes as a kit connected into the 700 R4 torque converter lock-up system. It is used to control the lock-up time, based on the vehicle speed, between 30-90 mph. This kit eliminates lock and unlock cycling and premature or unwanted lock-up, which in turn, may reduce or avoid engine lugging and spark knock after getting into 4th gear. The dial control shown on the left is used to adjust the speed in mph of lockup.

Product Name: Transmission Dipstick
Product Description: The transmission dipstick is a flexible, braided stainless steel indicator to check the level of transmission fluid in the 700 R4 transmission. There is also a mounting bracket with holes to connect to the bulkhead. The lower end fits directly into the transmission and is sealed with an O ring. There are several lengths so make sure the right length is purchased.

Product Name: Automatic Transmission Shifters
Product Description: This shifter fits on top of the 700 R4 transmission and includes the shift handle, shift knob, neutral safety switch hook-up, shift connection to the transmission, with a Park, Neutral, Reverse, Overdrive, Drive, 2 and 1 gear selection. The yellow arrow to the left shows the rod which mechanically operates the shift lever going into the transmission. The entire shifte mechanism is bolted to the sides of the transmission.

Product Name: Throttle Valve Cable
Product Description: This cable connects the transmission shifting patterns of the 700 R4 automatic transmission to the position of the throttle on the carburetor. One end is connected into the transmission body and the other end, shown by the yellow arrow on the left, is connected to the throttle movement on the carburetor. Note that it is extremely important to have the Throttle Valve Cable adjusted correctly. After the center wire is connected correctly to the carburetor linkage, the flat, half-circle shaped disc is used to make the proper adjustment. It is best to follow the manufacturer's suggested procedure to set and
adjust the throttle valve cable correctly. Also note that the linkage on the carburetor may need to be changed to get the proper adjustment. Again, follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure to set the throttle valve cable correctly.

Product Name: Transmission Oil Cooler
Product Description: This transmission cooler is a finned aluminum oil cooler. It is designed so that it can be located remotely from the transmission, in a variety of locations on the street rod. The location should be in an area which has sufficient air flow around it to keep the transmission fluid cooled. Appropriate hoses allow the transmission fluid to flow from the transmission, to the cooler, through the cooler, and back to the transmission. It has bolts which slide in a slot for ease of installation. This particular application has the transmission oil cooler located between frame support, slightly back of the transmission. Other types of transmission coolers are placed in front of the radiator to cool the transmission fluid. Under normal conditions, the transmission fluid should be about 40 degrees Fahenheit higher than the coolant in the cooling system.

Product Name: Neutral Safety Switch
Product Description: The neutral safety switch is located as part of the automatic transmission shifter assembly. It is shown in the photo to the left as two electrical connectors directly below the shift lever. See yellow arrow. Note that a light blue and a purple wire connects into the neutral safety switch from the wiring harness. This switch is used to make sure the engine cannot crank or start when the transmisison is in gear. It is critical when building a street rod, that this switch is installed as soon as possible, to eliminate having someone accidently start the engine in gear. If this were to happen, and there was a person in front of the vehicle, they could be seriously hurt.
