700 R4 Transmission - Overdrive Evolution
GM's TH700-R4 four-speed automatic-overdrive transmission and its derivatives have nearly become the universal favorite of hot rodders. Properly built, a good 700 is capable of withstanding at least 450 lb-ft of torque. But that hasn't always been the case. With the help of the experts at B&M and TCI, we traced the 700's initially checkered past and bring you up to date on some of the countless improvements incorporated over the years as GM continually refined the basic design to keep up with the increasing output of the engines it was installed behind.

NASCAR should have come down harder on Michael Waltrip Racing
NASCAR should have come down harder on Michael Waltrip Racing
Sam Greenwood
In a situation that called for heavy-handedness, NASCAR didn’t drop the hammer as it should have on Michael Waltrip Racing.
When NASCAR uncharacteristically called a news conference Monday evening the thought was that something big was afoot.
Surely, after reviewing the overwhelming evidence which included audio and video documenting Michael Waltrip Racing conspiring to manipulate the regular season finale at Richmond, NASCAR was going to mete out justice.
Well, think again.
While on some level justice was served with Ryan Newman receiving the second wild card slot that he otherwise would have secured before MWR's shenanigans, the pervasive feeling is that NASCAR could have and should have done more.
Although Martin Truex Jr. losing 50 points and therefore his Chase eligibility is significant, something is still amiss. Clint Bowyer, the MWR driver who initiated Saturday's proceedings with a self-induced spin, astonishingly is among the 12 drivers competing for the championship.
Even more confounding, Bowyer will start the Chase with no fewer points than he would have had otherwise and is seeded eighth overall, a mere 15 markers in arrears of championship leader Matt Kenseth. Essentially, Bowyer received nothing more than a slap on the wrist despite being the most culpable figure at MWR.
"There's not conclusive evidence that the 15 spin was intentional," NASCAR President Mike Helton said. "There's a lot of chatter, there's the video that shows a car spinning, but we didn't see anything conclusive that that was intentional."
Apparently audio and video of MWR officials informing Bowyer that Newman was leading followed by the overt use of team orders faintly disguised as code telling Bowyer to spin his car isn't enough.
"THERE'S NOT CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT THE 15 SPIN WAS INTENTIONAL."-NASCAR PRESIDENT, MIKE HELTON
The message sent is that anything less than a signed confession falls short of being "conclusive evidence" in the eyes of NASCAR; otherwise it's viewed as circumstantial.
How else can you explain NASCAR's failure to enforce some kind of substantial penalty on Bowyer? Be it taking away Chase points or even sitting Bowyer for a race, there were no shortage of options NASCAR could has used to send a resounding message.
If there is good news to be had in Monday's ruling it's that Newman can race for the title in what is his final season with Stewart-Haas Racing. Instead of being a Chase bystander with a lame duck team, he now is a title contender.
The same fortune, however, didn't smile on Jeff Gordon, the other party who had a Chase spot ripped away by the duplicity of MWR.
"We know from experience that if you try to look at the ripple effect of an incident, you can't cover all those bases," Helton said. "You can't ever come up with a conclusion that is equitable and credible across the board. So we simply look at the incident and react to the incident."
Without the maneuvering in final laps by MWR that included Bowyer's spin and excessively slow lap times turned in by Brian Vickers, Gordon would have finished the regular season ranked 10th overall. Instead, he was on the wrong side of the Chase cutoff -- a place he still finds himself.
"Feel bad for Truex. He got in under controversy now out due to it. But the guy who started all of this not effected at all??? Don't agree!" Gordon posted on Twitter.
The frustration expressed by Gordon seems to be common. For an offense that was calculated the severity of the punishment doled out to MWR was absent.
This was the chance to set precedence and stamp out any vague notion that rigging the Chase is acceptable. With the facts as they are, if there was ever a situation where NASCAR needed to assert itself and be forceful, maybe even to excess, this was it.
Yet for whatever reason officials chose a different tact. And for the second time in less than a week it feels like MWR has gamed the system; justice be damned.
Photos Of 9/11
Very little needs to be said about the following photos of first responders on September 11th, 2001 and during the subsequent recovery efforts. The images speak for themselves. Some of these brave souls paid the ultimate price for their heroics, but all first responders that day showed us that even during the darkest hours, humanity can shine incredibly bright.

- -all new lip seals
- -all new gaskets
- -all new Teflon rings
- -new filter
- -all new steels
- -all new bushings
- -all new Raybestos clutch discs
- -all new sprags
- This Level 2 transmission comes with an Mad Dog Reprogramming update kit, Mad Dog shift kit, and Raybestos 9 clutches (replaces factory 5 clutches in the 3-4 drum) the 9 clutch pack also has specialized heat treated steels that withstand much more heat, all Raybestos high temp high energy clutches through out the rest of the unit, all new steels, band, bushings, and rings. A 500 boost valve, 10 vane pump rotor. The reason we run a 10 vane pump rotor and not a 13 vane pump rotor is because the more vanes it has in it weakens the rotor. We also use 4140 hardened pump rings, TEFLON pump bushing, a 29 element sprag, Sonnax wide-open throttle valve, over-sized hardened sun gear shell (which is three times thicker than factory) hardened input shaft and drum, 4 pinion planetary gear (which has also been cold-freezed to withstand big horsepower and torque), high-temp Pro-series, Kevlar band and a Billet servo ( the Billet servo has 30% more holding power, to give you that full throttle shift without burning up the band. For full competition use only). However, I highly recommend running a Corvette servo if your going to drive the vehicle every day.
- We discard the oem factory, plastic accumulators and run Sonnax aluminum accumulators to ensure a quality shift every time.
- This transmission can also be setup for pulling and towing (no extra charge).
- For full manual valve body add an additional $400.00

TH400 History
The THM400 can be visually identified by an oil pan number four shown at Transmission Pans. It was first introduced for the 1964 model year under the name "Turbo Hydra-Matic" in Cadillacs.[3] and "Super Turbine" in Buicks.[4] The following year, application expanded to Oldsmobile and Pontiac and to some full-sized Chevrolets. Many of the Buick, Cadillac, and Oldsmobile THM400s produced between 1964-67 were equipped with a Switch-Pitch torque converter variable-pitch stator, which is sought after by collectors and drag racers. These can be identified outside the vehicle (with the torque converter removed) by a narrow front pump spline. Externally the switch pitch version has two electrical connections, where the non-switch pitch THM400 has only one. GM used a Switch Pitch torque converter in the Buick twin turbine Dynaflow transmission between 1955–1963 and the Super Turbine 300 two speed transmissions used by Oldsmobile Pontiac, and Buick divisions between 1964-1967.
