700R4 Master Rebuild Kit 1982-1993, new and ready to install. Fits the 700R4. Ships fast from the USA.
When a 700R4 in a Chevy or GMC truck, Blazer, Suburban, Camaro, Corvette, Caprice or a hot rod swap starts slipping on the 3-4 shift, loses second gear, or throws burnt fluid out the vent, piecing it back together with a seal kit is wasted labor. This master kit covers the whole hydraulic 700R4 run, 1982 through 1993, and puts the seals, every clutch pack, a new band, the filter and a full bushing set in one order so the transmission comes out of the rebuild as close to new as soft parts can get it.
The full bushing set is what separates this kit from cheaper master kits that include only a pump bushing. A 700R4 that has run hot usually has worn stator, sun gear and case bushings too, and every one of them is a path for lost oil pressure.
The 700R4 shifts on hydraulics alone: the TV cable sets line pressure and a mechanical governor sets shift points. The 2-4 band holds second and fourth, and the 3-4 clutch drives third and fourth. Both depend on full line pressure, so worn bushings and hardened seals show up first as a slipping 3-4 pack and a soft 1-2 shift. Replacing the band with a high-energy lining gives more holding power on 2nd and overdrive, which helps on trucks that tow or carry weight.
Check the fluid level and condition, then drop the pan. Lining on the magnet or a clogged filter confirms internal wear. Before you blame the clutches alone, check the TV cable adjustment; low line pressure from a slack cable is the classic reason the 3-4 pack burns, and it will kill a new kit too. Our 700R4 valve body testing guide helps separate a hydraulic problem from worn clutches, and the 700R4 rebuild cost breakdown shows what hard parts often need replacing alongside a kit like this.
The listing covers all 700R4 (TH700-R4, later called 4L60) units from 1982 to 1993 in Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and other GM applications. Inside that span GM made changes that matter at the bench: Sonnax documents a 27-spline input shaft on 1982-1984 units and a 30-spline shaft with the 298mm converter from 1985, plus an auxiliary valve body starting in 1987. Those are hard parts the kit does not replace, but they are a reminder that a wide-range kit has to be checked against your unit. 1993 trucks may have the electronic 4L60E instead, which this kit does not fit. Read the case ID tag, compare the seals and gaskets with your parts before assembly, and send us your year and VIN if anything is unclear. Every 700R4 year range we carry is on our 700R4 parts page.
On a swap without factory lockup wiring, add a 700R4 lockup kit with pressure switch so the converter clutch applies in 4th and keeps cruise temperatures down.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is listed for the full 1982-1993 hydraulic 700R4 range. Some parts changed over those years, including the 1987 auxiliary valve body, so compare the seals and gaskets with your unit before assembly and send us your year and VIN if you are unsure.
No. The 4L60E is the electronic version introduced for 1993 and later. It uses a different case, valve body and seals. Check the ID tag on 1993 trucks, since they can have either transmission.
Yes. It includes an Exedy friction module, a steel module, a high-energy 2-4 band, the filter, a complete bushing kit and the overhaul seal and gasket kit.
No. The converter, pump, drums, shells and gearsets are reused if they pass inspection or bought separately.
Inspect the sun shell and input drum closely, replace a worn TV cable, and flush the cooler. Many builders also add a shift kit during assembly.
Dexron ATF. A current Dexron-VI fluid is backward compatible with older Dexron requirements.
