700R4 Shift Kit 1982, new and ready to install. Fits the 700R4. Ships fast from the USA.
Building a 700R4 for a street machine, off-road rig or bracket car and want to hold every gear as long as you like, or tired of a soft 1-2 that keeps cooking the 2-4 band? This is the TransGo 700-2&3 Reprogramming Kit, the most aggressive valve body kit TransGo makes for the hydraulic 700R4 and 4L60. It fits 1982 through 1993 units in two- and four-wheel drive. Our title says 1982, but the kit covers the whole 1982-1993 run.
A stock 700R4 decides its shifts hydraulically: governor pressure rises with road speed, TV pressure rises with throttle through the TV cable, and the shift valves move when one overcomes the other. Line pressure and the accumulators then set how hard each clutch or band applies. The 700-2&3 recalibrates that system with new pressure regulator, TV, line bias and 2nd accumulator springs, hardened 3-2 control valves, separator plate plugs and case orifice plugs. The result is quicker, firmer applies so the band and clutches spend less time slipping. The name comes from its two installation options:
The kit also includes TransGo's 7-CS 3-4 clutch return spring kit for the input drum, which reduces the centrifugal 3-4 clutch apply that can burn the 3-4 pack in 1st gear above about 5,500 rpm.
A shift kit is not a cure for a misadjusted TV cable, and that is the first thing to check on any 700R4 with soft or late shifts. Transmission Digest's procedure targets roughly a 15 mph 1-2 and 28 mph 2-3 upshift at light throttle; our 700R4 harsh shift causes guide covers the cable setup and the accumulator and checkball faults that also change shift feel. If the unit already slips in a gear with the cable correct, the friction is gone, and the kit should go in during a rebuild, not instead of one. Our 700R4 valve body testing guide helps separate a sticking valve from worn clutches.
TransGo lists the 700-2&3 for 1982-1993 700R4 and 4L60. It does not fit the electronically controlled 4L60E, which replaced the hydraulic unit in trucks starting in 1993, so if your transmission has shift solenoids and a case connector feeding them, this is the wrong kit. Valve bodies changed during the run, so open the pan and compare before ordering, or send us your year and VIN. You can browse every 700R4 part we stock.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. Despite 1982 in our title, the TransGo 700-2&3 fits all 1982-1993 700R4 and 4L60 transmissions, two- and four-wheel drive.
No. The 4L60E is electronically shifted and uses a different valve body. This kit is for the hydraulic, TV-cable 700R4 and 4L60 only.
Yes. The Gear Command installation keeps automatic upshifts in Drive while letting you hold any gear with the lever. The full manual option removes automatic upshifts.
Not for the valve body portion. The included 7-CS 3-4 clutch return spring kit goes inside the input drum, so installing that part requires removing the transmission.
Yes. Shift timing and line pressure on a 700R4 depend on the TV cable, so set it correctly after the kit is in and road-test.
