FIGURE 7 - INPUT CLUTCH HOUSING
Starting production of all 1985 THM 700-R4 transmissions an air bleed orifice cup plug was added to the input clutch housing (Figure 7). Due to this
change the procedure listed below for air checking the 3-4 clutch piston and the check ball has been revised.
Some 1982 thru 1984 THM 700-R4 transmissions may exhibit a burned 3-4 clutch, and/or high 2-3 shifts. (The high 2-3 shifts are experienced on C, K,
and G truck gas/diesel applications only).
