    700R4-TCI Aluminum Oil Pan

    Bottom Feeder? Mark, (Happy Labor Day!) wouldn't a filter extension put the filter back down onto the floor of the pan, thus making it a bottom feeder again?:confused: Wouldn't a tube coming straight down from the pump inlet and then making a 90 degree bend at the bottom of the pan, and then...

    700R4-TCI Aluminum Oil Pan

    So Greg.............. So Greg, what should I do, return the pan or can I just keep it and install a filter extension tube? Is it possible? I haven't seen the inside of the pan yet, but I persume that it has some sort of support or supports that hold the stock filter up in place.

    700R4-TCI Aluminum Oil Pan

    After ordering a new TCI aluminum oil pan (2 more quarts) for my 700R4 today, I (later) read in the description of the pan that an oil filter extension tube isn't required.:confused: What gives? Does this mean that the filter won't be submerged any deeper into the fluid? I need an oil pan that...

    Bruce, Please, Please, Please Help Me!

    Bruce, Jim's correct concerning your asking me why I don't ask the people that built up my transmission. I did and I have for the last two months! I heard nothing but good things about you on www.MonteCarloSS.com....... I heard you were "guru" of the 200R4 AND the 700R4. I was just assuming...

    Bruce, Please, Please, Please Help Me!

    Thank you Bruce for getting back to me so quickly! The trans I have in use right now is a performance rebuild out of a place just outside of Shreveport, Louisiana. Does the name "Raptor" ring any bells? I've had it since July of this year. If you type in 700R4 in the address box of your browser...

The first time I road tested my new ZZ4 engine and trans, it wouldn't shift out of first, at WOT. So, I played with about 5 different governors over a perion of many many...

    WOT Shift Points.............

    Bruce, please help me solve my problem! I've been told that if anyone can help me, you're the man. I replaced my 200R4 with a 700R4 and I love it, except for one thing, when I nail it (WOT) from a dead stop, it shifts from first to second at 5500 rpms (which is exactly where I want it) but it...
