700R4 valve body for 1982-1993, OEM and ready to install. Ships fast from the USA.
Drag racers and off-road builders running a 700R4 behind a 1982-1993 Chevrolet or GMC truck or car often swap to this exact valve body: a reverse-pattern full manual unit built to OEM casting 376010, laid out P-R-N-1-2-3-4 instead of the factory automatic shift pattern, so every forward gear is locked in exactly where you put the lever and you get engine braking at the top end of every gear, not just low.
On the factory 700R4, the lever runs P-R-N-D-3-2-1, so first gear sits at the far end of the travel and the TV cable and governor decide every shift. This OEM 376010 valve body is full manual and reverse pattern: the forward gears are arranged P-R-N-1-2-3-4, with first gear next to neutral instead of at the far end. Under hard acceleration your hand keeps moving the same direction through every upshift, which is the whole point of the reverse layout — it is harder to overshoot into neutral or reverse mid-run than it is with the factory pattern, where grabbing a gear under load means moving the lever back across the range it just came from. The pump, pressure regulator and boost valve circuits still build and hold line pressure the same as any 700R4 valve body; what changes is that the driver, not the TV cable or governor, decides when each shift happens.
If this is going behind a fresh build, read our 700R4 valve body problems and testing guide to understand how to isolate a hydraulic pressure fault from a worn clutch pack, since both show up as slip and neither is fixed by the other. If you are deciding between keeping the 700R4 or swapping to a later electronic unit, our 4L60E vs 700R4 interchange guide covers what carries over and what does not if a manual valve body changes your plans.
Built for the 700R4 as used in 1982-1992 Chevrolet C/K pickups, Blazer, Suburban, Camaro, Corvette and Caprice, and GMC pickups through 1993 production, under OEM casting 376010. Full manual valve bodies are shift-lever and linkage specific, so confirm your shifter and cable setup support a reverse P-R-N-1-2-3-4 pattern before ordering. See the 700R4 parts collection for the rest of what we stock, including the standard-pattern full manual valve body if you want manual control without the reverse layout.
Fill with fresh Dexron ATF and a new filter on install, and inspect the pump while the case is open since a worn pump undercuts even a good valve body's line pressure. If you plan to retain converter lockup, a 700R4/2004R lockup control kit gives you a manual switch to engage the torque converter clutch independent of the valve body. Pair the swap with a 700R4 clutch module if your core has any history of burnt clutches, and budget time to set up and test the new shift linkage before you trust it at the track.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Instead of the factory P-R-N-D-3-2-1 layout, this unit runs P-R-N-1-2-3-4, with first gear next to neutral. Under hard acceleration your hand moves the same direction through every upshift, which makes it harder to overshoot into neutral or reverse than with the factory pattern.
No. This is a full manual unit, so the driver selects every gear through the shifter instead of the transmission shifting on its own. You will need a shifter and cable setup that supports the reverse pattern.
It is the casting designation for this specific reverse-pattern full manual 700R4 valve body, covering 1982-1993 production.
The 700R4 as used in 1982-1992 Chevrolet C/K pickups, Blazer, Suburban, Camaro, Corvette and Caprice, and GMC pickups through 1993. Confirm your case casting before ordering.
Line pressure and lockup apply circuits carry over from the base 700R4 valve body design. If you want independent manual control over the lockup, pair it with a 700R4/2004R lockup control kit.
Dexron ATF, changed along with the filter at install so debris from the old unit does not circulate through the new valve body.
