Re: Light towing with a 700r4

It would fall in the 82-86 range. With the 3:73 gears, it is perfect on shift points and rpm drop. I also wired a manual 4th gear lockup switch interupted by a n/c 82 model brake switch to keep it from lugging at early braking. Ive heard that those old r4s were not happy in 4th without the lockup , but so far the way I drive around the house, 50% of the time, I dont have a straight enough stretch to lock it up. It seems like its a good trans. so far anyway. Appreciate the input guys.
