And finally, In my Caprice I have a 350 with a 200-4r tranny, & at this point I would really like to swap the tranny because this is the 2nd time it has been rebuilt and end up being broke a few months down the road . Would a 700r4 be a direct fit ? I like the overdrive but the 200-4r has just given me plain hell !!! And no, I dont abuse my car at all. I know this is an overload of questions, but could you guys please help a brotha out ?? Thanks...
I have the original 200r4 trans in my 89 wagon with 105000 miles on it.
I have installed a b&m shift kit 40000 miles ago and it seems to work great. Hope to get another 20-30k out of it before rebuild time.
I have read other posts saying this is a good trans and i believe it has a lower 1st gear than the 700r4.
I have also read that a gm factory replacement trans is the way to go although I think they are a little pricey ($1500-$2000) but come with a factory warranty.
Just make sure the TV cable is adjusted properly or it will not shift correctly.
