jmead Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I picked up the transmission that will be going along with the chevy 350 that I'll be getting tomorrow. I wasn't sure exactly what kind it was, other than it was "heavy duty" and "brand new". I was hoping for a 700R4, but I'm pretty sure that it isn't. I'm having trouble identifying it. All that I've found on it so far is "T5" stamped in two different places. I don't have any problem figuring out its a T5 then, but its and automatic. I was under the impression that T5 were standard transmissions, and all the info I can find online suggests the same. Is the such thing as a T5 automatic? If not, where should I look for more markings (its pretty dirty, I had to clean it off just to find the T5). Is this a decent transmission for a swap? Anywhere I can get any more info on it? Thanks..

Mike C Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Here are some places to start: http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/41798/ http://www.advanceadapters.com/acrobat/gtrans.pdf Post a pic of the trans as well for more help. The info you supplied so far doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I did a quick search in Google for "T5 automatic" and found a bunch of listings for Volvo transmissions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383 240z Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 If you can post a pic of the pan we can ID very quickly. if not how many bolts hold the pan on? does it have a vac. modulater? tv cable are there ane electrical connectors on the case, if so were are they, shape, number of pins?

jmead Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 Thanks for those links Mike C. Based on those pictures, I'm nearly positive it is a TH350. So I've got a 3 speed auto, no overdrive, however freshly rebuilt (or new, he wasn't sure which). I'm tempted to just use the TH350, but based on other memebers experiences I think I'm going to try and find a 700-R4. I noticed one of the yards around here was having an 'any transmission you can find for $40" promotion, so maybe this is my chance to pick up a better trans cheap.

383 240z Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 does your tranny have a vac modulater? The 350's do the pan looks VERY similar to a TH200m This is a very weak unit. you can sell the 350 for a decent price and 700's are pretty easy to rebuild. If you go junkyarding for a 700 try and find a late 87 unit these have a 30 spline converter and upgraded internals,if you are not going to use a computer to operate the TCC (ie a carbed engine) they also have a TCC shift valve Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmead Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 Yes, there is a vac modulator on the transmission (I believe). This means it is a 350, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

383 240z Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 with a vac mod on a GM rear drive unit and a pan shaped like a square with one corner cut at a 45* angle it sure sounds like a 350 to me. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
