Kevin Shasteen Posted January 31, 2001 Share Posted January 31, 2001 Don, You were inquiring about the R200 in an earlier thread. There is an article about lock up Converters in Popular Hot Rodding this Month. Specifically, the R200/lock up cvtr is what they concentrated on & the car the trans was in is a GN. I had a R200 put in my 70 Olds Cutlass replacing the TH350. It was built by an AAMCO shop in Plano Tx that is Performance Oriented,every tech in there is a gearhead. This shop actually keeps pictures of the musclecars whose trns they've rblt; for their future customers who inquire. As we know, not all Trns shops are performance oriented. The trans works fine except I found that under a hard acceleration, always in 3rd, the trans would spin out....This months issue of Popular Hot Rodding addresses that. In fact, their car actually picked up 2mph simply from using the proper TCvtr. Hoped that helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
