Service information for new THM 700- R4/HYDRA-MATIC 4L60 Case assembles. The new case win no longer have the 2nd, 3rd or 4th clutch pressure
taps. Mainline pressure tap remains unchanged. The clutch pressure taps require case bosses to bring the channeling to the exterior of the case and
provide an area to tap and plug the pressure ports. The casting process necessary to provide the case bosses and channeling increase the chance of case
porosity in those areas. By removing the clutch pressure taps, the casting can be changed to reduce incidences of case porosity and leaks.
