700R4 almost there

Got the 2400 stall converter in, with the B&M lockup 'brain' box.

Apparently all this time, ( 5 years ) I've Benn running it with no lockup! What a difference. I am a bit surprised it doesn't shift harder, being a Summit transmission and all.

I've got a B&M hammer shifter on the way, the Z gate I have now doesn't give me control of L1 &L2, and the stupid trans likes to shift up and lug the motor ( when It's locked up ). It's nice to have the brain box in easy reach.

I think when I get it fine tuned I'll be pretty happy with it.

I got an additional adjustment of the tv cable, HUGE difference. I could probably get by with the z gate shifter I currently have, but the hammer is already ordered.

The fluid is leaking from the speedometer output socket. How do I fix this?

There should be no fluid ever getting to the cable. Your speedo driven gear housing is leaking. There is a lip seal that rides against the driven gear that needs to be replaced. Although usually the plastic gear will be worn down and also require replacement.

Thanks. I'll get ahold of Summit, and see what they're willing to do about it.

It's really a pretty normal thing to replace this seal - here's a picture:

You could do something like this...>>>

Ok, looks like my drip pan was stolen, else blew away, but comes to the same difference, I no longer have it. Anyway, it makes me realize to ask, will all the fluid pour out when I remove the assembly?

Summit says they don't include the assemblies, so it must be my old one.

Just a bit of oil will come out, but you better keep a pan on hand.

I got the new seal installed, it was easy.

I also replaced the B&M star shifter with the B&M hammer.

Unfortunately, I hate the shifter.

Unless I decide to switch back to the star shifter, we can call it done.
