Default Re: Hydramatic Repairs

Hi AZ,

I was able to score on the needed adaptor for upgrading to a more modern to bolt up to the V-6 (THANK YOU ED SCHNIDER FOR LOCATING IT!) I too would like to save funds, but I think I’m stuck with having to pay someone to install it, I simply do not have needed experience NOR lift. I’m trying to find a local good installer. I really only want to do this once, the trans should last the life of the truck. Checking several sites for 700R4 (Summit, TDI, etc) they are in the avgerage range from $995- $1300), you also have to make sure they come with the torque converter or you’re out another $150-200. I found some deals on eBay from Jegs/Summit, shipping is free. I just have to wait till Sept to do the deal.


I saw that adaptor and suspected it would work too, but never having bought one, its ALWAYS good to opinions.
Thanks
