Need a Turbo Buick 200-4r trans,cant find one in these parts,wonder about donar cars and what would be involved in making it work like a Turbo Buick trans.
I think the late 80's Cadilliac rear wheel drive cars with the 307 Oldsmobile engine are good donor transmissions. Might let others chime in with their opinions.
BRF, BQF, CZF, OZ... those I recall off the top of my head....
Might add that the only real difference is the valve body, governor, servo, and wiring. You can find and add these to almost any 200-4r that you find, and at reasonable cost depending on what you buy and where. Other than that you want to find the newest one you can. Later 80's ones had some revisions that earlier trans. did not. Not a huge factor, but if you find a bunch of standard cores, grab the newest one.
I am a true blue newbe (for the sake of brevity I will leave it at that!) and I purchased a KZF 200-4r tranny. Installed it only to find out that the trans plug in my 87 GN has 4 wires the tranny takes a three wire plug. Can this be corrected or do I go back to the seller and cry foul, because he knew i was a newbe?
