700R4 3-4 Full Throttle Up-Shift Sleeve Number K015, Shifts to Overdrive at Full Throttle

700R4 3-4 Full Throttle Up-Shift Sleeve Number K015, Shifts to Overdrive at Full Throttle

K015 700R4 3-4 Full Throttle Up-Shift Sleeve. The Full Throttle Up-Shift Sleeve will service all 700R4 valve bodies 1981 through 1993. This sleeve allows full throttle 3-4 up-shifts. The 4-3 detent will become less sensitive at part throttle. The 700R4 Up-Shift Sleeve can be installed without removing the valve body from the case. Don’t use this part unless you have under 350 flywheel horse power unless you have a extremely high performance 700R4 transmission. Doing so will burn the 3-4 clutch up.

SUBJECT: Proper installation of the throttle valve cable on Factory and after-market carburetors or fuel injections. This information applies to all 700R4, 4L60 and 200-4R transmissions. Throttle valve cable adjustment instructions, numbers 4, 5 and 6.


   #1. The button that the cable hooks to at the carburetor or throttle body must have approximately 1 and 3/32-inch radius from the center of the throttle shaft to the center of the button the cable hooks to.

     #2. Looking at the throttle shaft lever from the left side at idle position, approximately 33% of the throttle lever total travel must be to the rear of the throttle shaft centerline. And at wide-open throttle, approximately 67% to the front of the throttle shaft centerline. This will be about ½-inch to the rear and 1 inch to the front of the throttle shaft centerline.

     #3. The throttle valve cable must be hooked up in this manner so the pressure will rise faster off idle and slow down at heavy throttle. If the pressure cable is pulled in a more even manner the pressure will be too low at light throttle. Failure to hook-up the throttle cable in this way will burn the three-four clutch pack up fast.

     #4. The throttle valve cable controls transmission pressure. Adjusting this cable is the most important step when installing a 700R4, 4L60 or 200-4R transmission.

     #5. The final step is to adjust the throttle valve cable. The cable must be adjusted so it is pulled fully out at wide-open throttle. To make sure disconnect the cable, hold the throttle wide open with your left hand, pull the cable fully out with your right hand and see if the cable end lines up with the button on the throttle lever. The cable should also be pulled out 3/8 to 1/2 of an inch at idle. 

     #6. Do not attempt to adjust the shift timing with the throttle valve cable. The shift timing is controlled by the governor springs and weights. For higher shift points at wide-open throttle install lighter springs. For lower shift points at wide-open throttle install stronger springs. After the cable is adjusted the approximate shift points should be 15 to 18, 25 to 30 and 40 to 50 MPH at very light throttle depending on tire size and axle ratio. Light throttle shift points are measured in MPH and full throttle shift points are measured at what RPM. The full throttle 1-2 shift will usually be at a higher RPM than the 2-3 shift. The governor will work with only 1 spring or 2 springs. You can remove one spring to raise the full throttle shift points.

     #7. You can get a cable button off of a junk GM vehicle and weld it to your throttle valve lever. We sell a cable correction kit for Holley and Edelbrock carburetors.

     #8. Sometimes on a newly rebuilt 700R4 or 200-4R transmission, it may not make the 3-4 shift when first installed. A stuck valve, trash in the fluid or an air pocket, usually causes this. Raise the rear wheels off the ground, place the transmission in overdrive position. Run the speedometer as high as 100 miles per hour, pop the throttle on and off and see if you can force a 3-4 shift. Once it makes the first 3-4 shift, work the shift lever back and forth between drive and overdrive until the 3-4 shift works correctly.

     #9. If you have a Holley or Edelbrock carburetor, you must install an adapter on the carburetor linkage for the transmission to work correctly.

Hi Don,

Cole here, from Hummin2London. I bought your Quadzilla 4L80E and raced it in my H1 Hummer in Morocco last month. I was very happy with the gearbox and we took 4th in our class, even with two teenage boys strapped in the back. We had one major drama and that was the studs that screw into the back of the gearbox and hold the transmission mount / transfer case all backed out of the gearbox!!! ACKK!!!!

We pulled out the spacer / xfer case and retapped the holes to 10mm (no US thread bolts anywhere in Africa), new 10mm bolts, lots of loctite and a massive ratchet strap around the gearbox, crossmember and the back of the transfer case. We kept racing although a bit slower, and it all held together. I’m going to have to re-do those holes, probably Helicoils, unless you have any better ideas or suggestions.

Operationally the gearbox was fantastic! I am dead happy with it.

Thanks heaps,

Cole Stage

Cheers

Level 3 - Performance Rebuilt 700R4 Transmission, "700 Raptor", Rebuilt GM Transmission, 700R4 Performance Transmissions

Level 3 – Performance Rebuilt 700R4 Transmission.

Click HERE for all 700R4 Performance Built Transmissions!


This transmission comes with a high performance Superior intermediate billet servo that has 35% more holding power than a Corvette servo. It will give a firmer 1-2 and 2-3 shift. It also has a high performance Superior overdrive billet servo with 50% more holding power than the stock overdrive servo. This servo gives a firmer 3-4 shift. This 700R4 has 8 Red Eagle clutches and full thickness Kolene steels in the 3-4 clutch drum, now with the new 3-4 Power Backing Plate.

Our 700R4 comes with the Mega Valve and an oversize low / reverse boost valves, these two valves produce higher pressures and firmer shift points. All of our high performance 700R4 transmissions come with either a 10 or 13 vane high performance / high volume pump. We use an Alto Carbonite Power Band with thicker hardened anchors that have better holding power in second and overdrive. Also included in the price is a heavy-duty balanced stall converter with furnace brazed fins, a Sonnax carbon fiber clutch and needle bearing for added strength. This torque converter can be ordered with stall speeds of 1800, 2000, 2300, 2600 or 2800 RPM (#2).

Some of the other features are a 30 spline input shaft, “The Beast/Monster” reaction shell, an elevated pressure regulator spring, an extra wide sun gear bushing, extra wide rear stator support bushing, performance 1-2 accumulator spring, high output pump slide spring, special intermediate servo release check valve, Corvette servo,  and a 29 element heavy-duty Borg Warner forward input sprag.

Also included in this package deal is a throttle valve cable, dipstick and tube, and an automatic converter lock-up switch. The 700R4 has a 3.06 ratio in first gear, which is 20% lower than most transmissions. The 30% overdrive will give a 30 to 40% increase in gas mileage on the road over a 3 speed transmission. This transmission is for any type of high performance / heavy duty use up to 600 horsepower / 450 torque (600 ft. lbs. torque with Raptor Drive package) using pump gasoline.

See ratings chart below.

INSTRUCTION PAGE – 700R4 / 200-4R Throttle Valve Cable Adjustment

700R4 / 200-4R Throttle Valve Cable Instructions / 700R4 TV Adjustment

SUBJECT: Proper installation of the throttle valve cable on Factory and after-market carburetors or fuel injections. This information applies to all 700R4, 4L60 and 200-4R transmissions. Throttle valve cable adjustment instructions, numbers 4, 5 and 6.


     #1. The button that the cable hooks to at the carburetor or throttle body must have approximately 1 and 3/32-inch radius from the center of the throttle shaft to the center of the button the cable hooks to.

     #2. Looking at the throttle shaft lever from the left side at idle position, approximately 33% of the throttle lever total travel must be to the rear of the throttle shaft centerline.

     #9. If you have a Holley or Edelbrock carburetor, you must install an adapter on the carburetor linkage for the transmission to work correctly.


     #10. To test the adjustment, do a minimum throttle 1 – 2 shift then push the gas pedal to the floor fast to see if it will do a 2 – 1 shift. Most 700R4’s will do this. We sell a helper spring that will pull the throttle valve cable out an extra 1/4 inch at all times except wide open throttle, at such time the helper spring will compress to allow wide open throttle.2004R / 4L60 / AOD / AXOD / TH200 / TH200C TV Cable Corrector Kit, SX AS1-01K. Shop On Our Website Today For More 4L60 Products Today!

# 20 / Sonnax 77968. 700R4 full throttle 3-4 up-shift sleeve.

700R4 full throttle 3-4 up-shift sleeve. Now you can have a full throttle 3-4 shift. At 80 MPH it takes 90% throttle to make a 4-3 downshift. Can be installed without removing the valve body. The Up-shift Sleeve also eliminates part throttle 4-3 downshift for less gear searching. This is an extra option on the 700 Raptor. Not recommended for motors over 250 horse power unless you have a level 3 700R4 or higher.
