Bearing WILL FALL OUT! Yes, that was a fun surprise. I used a pen magnet and was able to collect the ones that fell deep into the case. It was also fun to count 120 roller bearings to make sure all were present and accounted for.

I would also recommend doing a pressure test of the trans. As throttle is applied you should get immediate pressure rise. Here is the page from the ATSG Service Manual for the 700r4.

Is your TV cable connected to the transmission? Getting the cable connected to the TV linkage while the trans is up in place might not be much fun. I wrangled with the dipstick tube for a while too to get it into position. I'm glad you backed off when the torque converter wasn't set in all...

I was under the impression we didn't need front plates in Texas also. I've run many different vehicles without front plates over the years and have never been pulled over for it. I never had an officer mention the front plates when I've been pulled over for other traffic infractions. I guess...

I believe that '87 up is the preferred year range for a 700r4 core. I think the earlier ones didn't have the auxiliary valve body.

Ya when that plate's folded down you can't see it if you didn't know to look for it. Perfect for that bank robbing gig!

That picture of your cracked trans looks exactly like mine. Right at the governor door, wrapping up and over the top, looks like its about to split in two. JB weld didn't help mine either. I was amazed when I pulled the trans out to see how bad it was. My trans mounts had pretty much turned to...

You are going to be very happy with how it drives!

You should be able to get just the gear. I don't have a source off the top of my head, just google it. You might also try a local trans shop, they might have one and save you shipping fees

Pop the governor cover off and check your governor. A worn/binding/broken governor will prevent up shift. If your vacuum is pulling correctly, the vacuum modulator is working correctly and your governor is fine, then you are probably looking at an internal problem.

You do not need to alter either driveshaft if you switch to a 700r4. Other than finding a bracket for the TV cable, it's a very easy swap

This is what I use: http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/transmission-jacks/450-lb-capacity-transmission-jack-39178.html $80 from Harbor Freight. I've taken the transfer case and transmission in and out a handful of times. It feels plenty stable and the included strap is nice...

My 1028 with 700r4, stock tires and gears, does 70 mph no problem. I like to cruise around 2000 rpm which is about 60 mph

Have you looked for a location of the leak? It could be any number of problems from a cracked case to just a loose cooler line.

Lots of websites that are plug and play so you don't have to do math. Here's a good one: http://www.csgnetwork.com/multirpmcalc.html

Just before the thanksgiving holiday, on my way home from work, I was cruising my 1028 around 70 mph. All of sudden my transmission vanished. No thunk or thud or shudder, rpm's just shot up. I coasted to the side of the road where I determined that I still had 1st and reverse, just couldn't get...

I have a 700r4 in my 1028 and its awesome for cruising. It does 65 no problem and I've done 70 a few times, this with stock tires and gears. I'm not an expert on the threshold for a 700r4 towing ability. I've heard that as long as you stay out of OD then you are fine. For the rest of the time...

You're not going to tow in OD with a 700r4, so you are back to a 1:1 ratio. If you are planning on serious towing then a 700r4 probably isn't your best choice. You could spend a bunch and have it built way up for towing but then you might just spend that money into getting a 4L80.

Sounds like your having a busy weekend. I hope you stop to eat some turkey. If my 1028 had a bed full of unmarked currency I'm sure I'd be headed somewhere, probably not SA though. Maybe early retirement on a Mexican beach!!!

I'm in SA right now for Thanksgiving. I wish I had brought my 1028 with me to in list the services of Keith-J :)
