86 Regal trans problem

[Danster]

Hey guys, I have an NA 86 Regal which is cuurently giving me a problem. It seems when I come to a stop (quick stop) my car stutters (as in TCC solenoid going bad) and sometimes dies, although the car starts up immediately afterwards. Did these transmissions come with a TCC solenoid? If not, can someone tell if there's something else I can check or am I looking at a rebuilt?

Current mileage is 155K, thanks.

If it's an orginal eng trans combo, yes it does have a TCC in it.
More than likely you have a TH200C, ( that is if no over drive).
Yes It does sound like a TCC failed espeacialy at those many miles.
check this link to help you along on changing it out.
good luck...

If it is the 200c, you CAN'T change it out like the 200-4R. It is bolted to the back of the pump and the pump has to be pulled out. It is not located in the same area as the overdrive units.

Sorry for leading you the wrong way Danster..
Appreciate the insight GNeric....

I stand corrected.

No problem, Cutluse231. This is about the only thing I don't like about the 200c.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll need to take it to the tranny shop.

What is good about the TH200C?

They are lightweight and have less rotating mass internally. I have built a few for street/strip and did the old B&M kits in them (when they were still available) and they hold up pretty darn well. They can use the wider band for 2nd, GN servo, and a couple other things I can't think of right now Scott McClay has a killer 200 and I don't know if it is a lockup or not, but I understand it will take a lot of horsepower.
