The 700R4 is a four speed automatic used in cars and trucks
starting in the mid 80s. The 700R4 has a low first gear and an
overdrive 4th gear which makes it a great transmission for a Jeep that
sees a combination of trail and street driving. The downside to the
transmission is it is long.
The 700R4 does have a bad reputation for failure because the early
ones did not have the best design. Around 1987, the design was
improved and 700R4 were much more reliable. It would be a good idea to
avoid earlier 700R4s.
The 700R4 has been used in GM cars and trucks since the mid 80s.
