    Ratcheting sound from 200-4r transmission

    Shift kit as we'll call it from now on was installed to try and tone down the brutal shifts,it gets old real fast having a transmission that will not shift into second without chirping the tires no matter the amount of throttle. As much as I like the idea of an overdrive transmission that would...

    Ratcheting sound from 200-4r transmission

    Thanks for the replies! I was thinking it was a issue with the shift and being there is no 1-2 accumulator I guess it's possible it could feel that harsh. The question I have is how fast do they cycle between 1st and 2nd when they do hunt? As it feels like a jerk jerk jerk until you let off the...

    Ratcheting sound from 200-4r transmission

    Thanks for the reply I know it's not coming from the ring n pinion gear what i said thats what it feels like when it does it . Seems like if it were side or spider gears it would do it any time one axle is turning faster than the other and a slight lift of throttle wouldn't stop it. It has a...

    Ratcheting sound from 200-4r transmission

    I have an intermittent issue with the daughters 200-4r, it feels like there are a few teeth missing on the ring and pinion. It only happens after a slow down and take off under lite throttle like when you stop or slow way down when turning into a driveway. It's only happened with me in the car...

    200-4r line pressure loss over time

    I'm seeing line pressure loss. A few years ago it had 80-90 psi at minimun tv at idle and 275 give or take at full tv at 2000 rpm .Last year minimun tv was still around 80-90 but full tv had dropped to around 250 max. Now this year idle tv pressure is still around 80 psi but the only time it...

    Early 1-2 shift

    I think the GN governor is the lightest available it has 1 spring I dont remember what weight it's on if I had to guess I'd say the small one and i pinned it , the ck is a medium weight one and I have one with two large weights thanks Mike

    Early 1-2 shift

    I put the unmolested BR valve body and governor in with a ck shift kit because the one that was in it shifted so violent it was hard to get a 1-2 shift that didn't get a chirp from the tires. the trans is a B Hofer build that except for some early servo issues has been a beast . The TV cable is...

    Early 1-2 shift

    I have several different governors, that won't be a problem to change.But all the valve bodies i have have had so many hands on them I'm not sure what they are any more. I thought the governor would affect all the forward gears at part hrottle. Thanks Mike

    Early 1-2 shift

    It doesn't really matter on rpm it's as soon as the car reaches about 5mph Thanks Mike

    Early 1-2 shift

    Last summer in an attempt to town down the shift harshness I had the modded CK valve body and governor replaced with a stock BR valve body and governor, at the time a CK performance shift calibration kit was added. The 1-2 shift happens at very low speed regardless of throttle position while...

    vibration-help or opinions needed

    i'm going to follow thes thread as I've been fighting this same issue for years with no luck. I still think it's something between the flexplate and the output shaft thanks Mike

    How likely is it for a 200-4R to be the cause of a vibration problem?

    Sorry I just mean that I expect the trans to be shaking.

    How likely is it for a 200-4R to be the cause of a vibration problem?

    I kinda think if it shakes the whole car and its coming from the drive line the trans would be shaking worse than anything else if no other reason than it's closer to the source and mounted in rubber. Thanks Mike
