Man, I can’t believe I remembered my login or that it even still works. Wow! Anyway, I need advice on an easy to follow rebuild tutorial DVD for a BR core 200 4r. The core was given to me by my awesome brother who pulled it from one of his GN’s. The trans is going into a 79 Malibu wagon with...

I put the Transgo shift kit in including replacing the missing check balls. Two rubber / plastic check balls were removed and 4 steel balls went back in. It solved the binding that was previously happening just prior to the 1-2 WOT auto upshift. 1-2 shifts at a good rpm and hits real...

I got a trango shift kit and dug in. What I found inside the transmission was rubber check balls. There should have been 4 of them. There were only two. The two that were missing were the ones on each side of the kick down servo. In the spots where the check balls should have been I found a...

Thanks. I'll check those things. Maybe I'll get a shift improver kit. One that comes with new VB gaskets and seporator plate. Obviously new gaskets can't hurt. But if you say a check ball may not be sealing, could that be due to a worn sep plate? My point for trying a shift kit.

Selector in D. Automatic upshift.

We're working on a 79 Malibu wagon. We have 200 4r swap in the works. Meanwhile it's got a Th350 that's acting up. At WOT 1-2 shift, it binds like its in two gears for a second or two, then up shifts. At first I thought it was a fuel starvation problem because that's kinda what it feels...

A person on another forum was inquiring about thier tranny fluid being yellow in color. Could this be due to old fluid or being contaminated? Also I seem to remember someone in the past recomending a certian type of hydralic oil instead of the normal atf. Im thinking that maybe someone...

Over all which one is generally a better choice for swap into a earlier model Chevy powered vehicle? Can you list some pros and cons of each one? I have a 200 in my 73 Vette and love it. Theres a debate on another forum as to which is better. The 200 or the 700? Some people say that the 700...

My problem has been solved, tranny works great now. Heres what i found. When I installed the shift kit from PTS it included a washer to be added between the TV plunger and plunger spring. What I didnt notice is that BTO had already made this mod when they built the trans. Thier washer was...

A 200 should have no problem standing behind a 305. These things hold up behind 502's. Also, many of these GN cars are developing serious serious power in front of the 200.

Since I last posted on this subject Ive done some extensive test driving and have come up with a better explaination of the problem and its symptoms. Forget what I said before. I should have done this first before asking questions but heres the new info. First of all heat is not a factor...

Could anything in the valvebody be hanging up or sticking? While I have the pan off I want to check every possibilty of things that could be causing the problem. The notable thing is, the trans will first function totally normal, the the problem will arise out of nowhere, then go away and...

Is there any way to use the bottom feeding 700 filter with a stock steel 200 pan? I heard about a spacer or something. Does this part enable this combo? If so, where do I get one?
