200R4... Full manual, reverse pattern, with transbrake...

[yullose]

Does this transmission exist ?

I'm just curious if the 200R4 can be made similar to the TH400 I have in my car now ?

I like the reverse shift pattern, and I like the transbrake on a button.

Just curious if the parts are out there to build such a beast ?

I tried the reverse manual valvebody from TCI and liked it... unfortunately, the trans was already toast.

I was tossing around the idea of maybe throwing a 200R4 together in my spare time...just to see how long it might live.... and no, I'm not ready to give up my TH400 stuff yet.

I'm just thinking outloud...

hmmmmm..this thread baffles me how in the world could you "try" a 200 ????

What HP level is this for?

I though about trying one until it breaks...
I plan on keeping all my TH400 stuff, so I always have something to throw back in the car if the 200R4 breaks.

I don't have the wallet to buy one all done-up, but I can certainly build one little by little in my spare time. I've done TH400's, TH350's and 'glides already.
Never messed with a 200R4 yet, other than swapping a valvebody.

What HP level is this for?

Currently, somewhere in the low-500's at the back wheels... But eventually somewhere in the 600's once I beef-up the shortblock and turn the nitrous on.

ok .... I know they had a full manual one BUT don't know about "reverse pattern" ... we are doin some tranny and converter tests shortly

I bought a valvebody from TCI that was a full manual, reverse shift pattern. I found it on the Summit website...
I really liked it, but ended up selling it with the trans when I realized the trans was no good.
I may give one of those another try if I can find a decent core to rebuild.
