The triple 7 code is not a good one to get...it's when two gears get "tied up" or try engaging at one time, when one doesn't let go or something...it's bad but I don't know that it means it's time for a build, I'm not sure at all about that though
The 700 code is a warning light code, so I think it's just alerting you there is a problem...the problem would be the 777 code

Here's a link to a 777 code related thread:

Well it is, the code of death that is, and it usually does indicate the trans is goin out...

all I was saying is that just cuz it happened once, doesn't mean you gotta build it now, but you soon will be if you don't baby the heck outta it, and theres no guarantee that's gonna keep it alive all that long either...

The only guarantee you have here is you're guaranteed that this shit is going to break, and you're guaranteed this shit is gonna be expensive
