700R4 is OUT! Auto → Elite Swap Begins | 3rd Gen Z28 Revival Ep.14

In Episode 14 of the 3rd Gen Camaro Z28 Revival, we finally yank the tired old automatic transmission out of our 1984 Camaro Z28 project car to make way for the manual T5 swap! Watch the real struggle of dropping a 40-year-old TH700-R4 – rusty crossmember bolts snapping, stuck torque arm, forgotten TV cable, and plenty of heat wrenching under the car. From broken studs and seized bell housing bolts to finally getting the filthy auto trans on the ground, this is raw DIY garage life with zero sugarcoating. The Auto-to-Elite conversion is officially underway!
