TH200-R4 Search

WoW. I didn’t know the 200r4 was that rare. What years were they available and in what GM’s ?
I bought one from JaKe 12 yrs. ago complete with converter and TV. I think I paid $1000. I know it wasn’t more than $1200. And that was with shipping and no core.
Still works great. Firm shifts. No leaks.

Only 10 years of production: 82-92.

^ I did the same.
Got one from Jake the same time you did.
Still working great after 60K miles.

They were only used in GM vehicles for 10 years and haven't been produced for 30 years now.
The THM200-4R can be found in the following vehicles: (from Wikipedia)

• 1981-90 B-bodies
• 1981-84 C-bodies
• 1983-88 G-bodies
• 1985-90 D-bodies
• 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Indy Pace car (with Buick V6 and a turbocharger)

then just to add a few more $$$ to the 30 yr old 4 cylinder tranny.....if you are running ANYTHING with more than 25 ft/lbs of torque....right from the start you are looking at about $600 of billit/300M parts from CK.

I have had a 2004r or r4 since 2009. It was initially a TCI Street fighter unit. Since rebuilt with ALL Art Carr internals. A built 383 engine. Works awesome. Tricks are cooling and TV cable. Do it you will never look back.

Find a ‘87 Buick Grand Nat’l at the wreckers and grab the trans.

Lolz if only that easy

 

[Brad Burris]

It is actually easy. I am not a mechanic by any means. Also either order the shifter kit from Shift Works or buy an aftermarket shifter. I have spoke to Art Carr personally and he stands by his stuff. FYI I had a 1987 Buick Grand National with this transmission. That car went 11.89 @ 112 back in 1988 @Heatland Park Topeka.

Art Carr may be easy, but not cheap. One build to take 400-600hp cost $2699.99, then add taxes and shipping. Guess expensive and cheap are relative.

I bought all the parts and had a local guy do it. And NOT transmission guy can do them. It was not cheap but it was fair. And so far reliable.
