VEGE Remanufactured Automatic Transmissions 1697A-82

This VEGE 1697A-82 is a remanufactured four-speed automatic with a stock bellhousing bolt pattern and an included torque converter, built to bring a worn drivetrain back to factory-style operation rather than as a brand-new unit. The automatic valve body uses a standard shift pattern, and the transmission is lockup compatible.

How it is remanufactured

Each core goes through inspection, cleaning, machining, and reassembly with premium-grade internal components before it ships, aimed at consistent shifting and the kind of durability a stock replacement unit needs under everyday driving. The case and pan are both aluminum, finished natural, and fluid fills in the usual locations for a stock-pattern four-speed. No advertised stall rating beyond stock is listed, which keeps behavior predictable for a daily-driven replacement.

Install and what to add

Because the torque converter ships with the unit, it drops in against a stock drivetrain with one less part to source separately; a flexplate, controller, wiring harness, cooler, dipstick, and fluid are not included, and there is no trans-brake on this automatic-only valve body. Budget for those items before setting an install date.

Does the torque converter come with it? Yes, it is included, which simplifies matching this transmission to a stock-pattern driveline.

Is this a new transmission? No, it is remanufactured and sold individually, built to restore stock-level performance rather than sold as new.
