Putting in another 700R4 is easiest.

Either rebuild what you have, or replace with another 1988+ 700R4.

Stay with the 700! If you switch a TH350 or 400 you have to get a different drive shaft and you lose O/D.

Re: z28 automatic 91' question?

Any non 4wd, non Corvette 700R4 will work. If it's out of something besides an F-body, you'll have to swap your current tailshaft housing onto it.

Re: z28 automatic 91' question?

thank you so much for your advice on the topic i dont mind swapping tailshafts (especially cuz the one in my current tranny is BRAND NEW) but one more question,ive seen people swap it out with the 4th gen tranny i think 46le or somethin like that? apparantly theyre identical? can you shed some light on that?

A 4L60E is electronically controlled and you can't use it without a computer to control it.
