Guest Anonymous Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 My TH-350 needs a rebuild. If I can find an overdrive tranny for a good price, I'll probably just do that. But, I live in Alaska and some people here are crazy and want a way too much money for parts. One JY quoted me $250-350 for a TH-350. That's a little high right? Anyone wanna sell one cheap? If I do a rebuild what do I need? I've seen some rebuild kits with the gaskets and clutches and all that. Should I replace the torque converter too? Stock? Or should I upgrade to a 2600-3200? Thanks for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 What does a switch to the TH200R4 entail? Does it just bolt in? Will I need a new shifter? It has overdrive, correct? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 The TH200r4 is a great swap in a car with a 350. I would think you should be able to get one for about $200 from a JY, but it may be in your best interest to have one truck freighted from the Pacific Northwest. Check out www.67-72chevytrucks.com and make a post about where you are and what you need. There are a lot of guys in Alaska, western Canada and the northwest.

Guest Anonymous Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Anybody? I think I'm just gonna rebuild the th350 next week. I like the idea of having a brand new (sort of) transmission. Any tips on it? I know its gonna be a pain in the ass, but my dad will help and he's a pretty good mechanic. I think we can figure it out together. I should buy a new torque converter, right? Is it worth upgrading from stock? I will be throwing a shift kit in while I'm in there. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Do some Google research on internet transmission rebuild kits. A lot of these sites have good information on their high performance parts and rebuilding. I would not want to put much in a 350 Turbo. I am fairly sold on the cheap 2004R's as a street transmission for a 350 SBC. Try Makco Distributing Inc. They have an informative website and some decent prices on performance rebuilds from mild to wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
