Been looking into a possible 700R4 swap.
Am aware of the cross member mod and the drive shaft shortening required.
Although I read somewhere (can't remember where) that certain versions of the 700R4 have a shorter tail shaft which means no drive shaft mods required, true/false?
Main question:
Still confused about the 3rd gear and 4th gear lock-up.
Why would you want to disable 3rd lock up in favor of only 4th lock up?
I've been told of special mods that disable down shift in 4th to prevent over-revving when you go full throttle in 4th.
However, my shop buddy tells me it's not necessary since a 700R4 will NOT downshift anymore above 75 mph.
So from moderately confused I'm now royally confused.
