Gents, the removal of reverse on a 700?(700-039).....is this due to high failure or the being the weak point of the tranny?........and is it OK to leave the reverse gears in without the chain?
....or, can you point me in the right direction to find the thread that answers this.
I found a spare 700-026 that is a 5spd, it has the 36 fine spline shaft but does not have the ball bearings on the output shaft (like the 039), it has 4 bronze bushings. Should I toss it? or possibly prep it and use it?, with that said, does a 700 trans having the ball bearings mean it is "Heavy Duty"?
Thanks for the advise
