INTRODUCTION ATSG THM 700-R4 (4160) 1987 - 1993 We wish to thank GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION for the information and illustrations that have made this booklet possible. The 1987 - 1993 THM 700-R4 transmission was produced with many major engineering design changes, which include an added auxiliary valve body, reverse apply package, and three different checkball locations , depending on design levels. This booklet contains general description and the overhaul procedures necessary to repair, overhaul, or service the 1987 - 1993 THM 700-R4 transmissions and includes all design levels. The 1987 - 1993 THM 700-R4 transmission is a fully automatic unit consisting of a three element torque converter with the addition of a converter clutch. Five multiple disc clutch packs, one roller clutch, one sprag, and one band provide the friction elements required to obtain the desired function of the compound planetary gear set. The combination of the compound planetary gear set and friction elements provides four forward speeds, including overdrive, and reverse. Changing of the gear ratios is fully automatic in relation to vehicle speed and engine torque. Vehicle speed and engine torque signals are constantly fed to the transmission to provide the proper gear ratio for maximum efficiency and performance at all throttle openings.
