Th-400 build questions

[GetOwnedVette]

I have searched far and wide for the simple answer but found too much info on here which usually led to th-400/2004r debates

I am doing a little friendly bartering with a trans guy and he asked what i want and need in my Th-400 build. I know nothing about trannys and have never bothered to learn..its one thing I always pay someone else for.

Trans will be going in my car if and when my built 200 takes a crap. Car should be making very good power and be deep into the 10's. i need a paragraph from someone knowledgeable that i can essentially regurgitate to him over the phone when he asks. I know the minor things like manual valve body etc etc just looking to tell him exactly what I want and need. Thanks for the help ahead of time :redface:

If he needs someone who has no trans backround to hell him what you need and hes the builder you are doomed prior to starting .You will need a good rebuild with aluminum clutch pistons at all 3 locations,a 34 element sprag and drum assembly,converter charge restrictor in the pump,output shaft to case thrust bearing upgrade ,hd intermediate clutch snap ring for starters.

Well....there is kind of a middle man in the deal. The barter was for the trans to be built for a N/A car of another buddy...who now wants to trade his trans build for my stuff. It has already been built without the manual valve body etc. He kinda wants him to tweak it for my application. lol I actually havent even got to speak with the trans guy, all I know is he does good work from what ive heard. : / If worst comes to worst ill get it then just sell it to buy one built just for me since im really getting a good end of the deal. I looked at your site and it seems you have it all figured out. What package would you recommend from your shop for my application with a price. You could pm me details if you would like
