Rebuilding a 700R4
I picked up a 700R4 thats slipping for $50 and my dad is going to rebuild it. He's an excellent mechanic and he can do it in no time flat. My question is is there anything I can do to upgrade it? This is a DD car, so nice smooth shifting would be nice, and maybe a new stall converter? I'd like one that nets me a little better gas mileage. Most miles on the car will be highway miles. What do you guys think?

Re: Rebuilding a 700R4
Wow thats a pretty good deal! I ended up picking up a used one for $50 though. I'll keep you in mind if I need another one thats for sure!
@antoine all that for a DD?
