Lustalbert Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 what are the limits on this trany from the factory? anyone have a link to some spec sheets, or know from experiance what the can take before they snap? running in about a 4200 lb car and does have a shift kit, just seeing what i can run safely before i need to really look at getting a new built up tranny. and i dont want this to become a "the 200 r4 is junk, swap in a 700r4" thread.

Browning Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 It depends what the 200r4 came out of? If it just came out of say a regular G-Body, they wont hold much. The ones out of GN's are much more beefier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 came out of an 86 pontiac parisenne. b body, 4000 lb tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 not too tough, if your wanting smething to handle the load you might as well rebuild it now. They have rebuild kits now that make them "bulletproof" supposedly. If you go to look for another, try to get one out of a Monte SS. Youll probably never find one from a GN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 got a shop in mind that does good work? i dont have all the tooling to do a tranny rebuild, all the further i made it in was doing a shift kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Im not in Columbus, the only trans. shop I have had experience with is here in Somerset. Have you thought of just buying one? If you have it rebuilt, make sure you get the kit with harder springs, shafts, etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Check out the buick sites for one out of a GN, noramlly can find one ranging from $300 - $1200, or a completely built one for about 2k. www.turbobuick.com www.turbobuicks.com www.t6p.com not used much anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I'd have someone who only deals with 200's build it for you. your going to have to dump a pile of money into but its worth it in the end. see if you cab get a hold of Kenny he used a guy up in akron or canton I think that does good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
