84 buick regal trans question

[1000MileStylez]

I have an 84 buick regal with the carbed 3.8 v6. Its a 3 speed. my question is that did it come with the th400 or a 350, from the looks of the pan it looks like a 400 but i never really looked directly underneith. Anyone know for sure?
thanks

I don't know for sure but, are you sure it's a 3 speed. 84 The 2004r was the tranny for gm. I wouldn't think a 400 would be there. Those were saved for the big V-8 gang. If it is a 3 speed probably a 350.

I believe that would have a 200 Metric.--- I 2004R without overdrive.

The only trans available on a 84 with the 3.8 NA was the THM200C. You had to order a 4.1 to get the THM200-4R. Earlier years could have been gotten with a 250C/350C though. Easy way to tell(assuming you have the original trans) is you should have code MV9 on your trunk option label.

you go the right answers it is a 200 metric (3-speed) with a lock-up converter.

I had one behide my 1978 LeMans with a 305 and it lasted the 160K miles I had the car without any problems. It didn't hve the lock-up conv. though.
