What transmission came in a 1989 Chevy Caprice?

The 1989 Chevy Caprice, a popular full-size sedan from General Motors, came equipped with a variety of transmission options. The most common transmission found in the 1989 Caprice was the Turbo-Hydramatic 700R4 automatic transmission.


Turbo-Hydramatic 700R4 Automatic Transmission


The Turbo-Hydramatic 700R4 was a four-speed automatic transmission developed by General Motors for use in their rear-wheel-drive vehicles. It was introduced in 1981 and was a significant improvement over the previous Turbo-Hydramatic 350 and 400 transmissions. The 700R4 featured a lockup torque converter, which improved fuel efficiency, and a wider gear ratio spread, which provided better acceleration and towing performance.


The 700R4 transmission was a popular choice for the 1989 Chevy Caprice, as it provided a good balance of performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability. It was available in both the base model Caprice and the higher-performance Caprice Classic trim levels.


Other Transmission Options


While the Turbo-Hydramatic 700R4 was the most common transmission found in the 1989 Chevy Caprice, there were a few other options available:



  • Turbo-Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission: This was an older, less advanced transmission that was still available as an option on some Caprice models.

  • Turbo-Hydramatic 200-4R four-speed automatic transmission: This was a lighter-duty version of the 700R4 that was sometimes used in lower-powered Caprice models.

  • Manual transmission: A five-speed manual transmission was available on some Caprice models, but it was a relatively rare option.


The Turbo-Hydramatic 700R4 was the most common and most popular transmission choice for the 1989 Chevy Caprice, providing a good balance of performance, efficiency, and reliability.
