700r4 storage

[no704]

Would it be ok to store a 700r4 upright ?

[true temper]

I don’t know why not I have seen shops do it.

Transmision

[true temper]

I knew some one would ask its a transmission out of a GM vehicle.

The transmission doesn't care what position it is in, it really doesn't matter.
The oil on the other hand will seek out the lowest point. If I had to store it upright, bellhousing side down, I'd first remove the torque converter and wrap it in a plastic bag along with the transmission.
Be prepared to place a drain pan under to input shaft as fluid will slowly drain out for a while.

I had a 700R4 out of an '89 pickup that sat upright for about a year before getting rebuilt and dropped back in. No problems, except for the oil stain on the concrete...
