The 700R4 (and the related 200-4R) is the classic GM 4-speed - 1982-1992. Camaros, Corvettes, El Caminos, old Silverados. Customer base is enthusiast + restoration shops. Pays more per rebuild than a modern 4L60E because the parts are harder to source and the customers care about doing it right.
Lip seal protector cone, pump bushing puller, servo cover compressor, sun shell holder, reverse drum tool, 2-4 band servo pin gauge, direct clutch hub bushing driver. Tools transfer to 4L60E rebuilds too if you do both.
