There are two different depth "Stock" pans for the Metric 200 transmission. Put in 5 quarts, including at least a half quart in the converter, and start car and check fluid level. Try to level car as best you can, i run mine through all the gears including reverse, then I check. Try to start with a little less and sneak up on it. Hope that helps.

I have used Stock GM pans but recently switched to the cast pans on my THM200's. They hold a little extra fluid, and they help strengthen the transmission case overall. I'm sure there are many other racers that use a Stock sheet metal pan without any issues. With my Cast pan I converted to the Chrysler Torqueflite Filter like I used to use in my PowerGlides. They have a good filteration area. Turbo Action sells these pans and filter kits. They fit well also, plus Paul instructs the Racer on what depth to set the fluid level and that has worked well for me. A word of caution here - When removing and installing the bolts that hold this all together, please look at the condition of the threads in the pan rail. These transmissions are a good age by now and if they have been serviced any amount of times also means they have had the hardware " over tightened " a couple of times. I have installed 5/16 x 18 Heli Coils in both of my transmissions pan rails and can tighten the hardware properly. Have an enjoyable day. Respectfully, Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA |

I don't have a part number but you can contact Paul Forte at Turbo Action. Or contact either Chris or Craig at TSR in New Hampshire and order a filter from them. There is a metal screen filter used for a trans with all steel parts and there's also a "cloth style filter" that's used for filtering out the finer material that the Aluminum parts generate during use. The other outlet I've seen was B&M , maybe through a Jeg's or Summit. A good many race trans builders use these filters in Power Glides so they should be around. I'm confident the Boy's at TSR can set you in the right direction. Have a Good Day. Respectfully, Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA |

. There are more deep aluminum pans available today. Now a 200 4r is a completely different deal. The filter feeds on the top. Those are either modified or fitted with a 700 type deal..But you probably already knew that ;-) |
Re: Metric 200
I was told 5/8” inch below the pan rail running in neutral warm fluid. Is where your supposed to run the fluid level on a stock pan. On a deep aluminum pan it can be lower I was told. But I cannot remember how much lower. Does anybody know? I was just told too high kills significant ET. I think mine with a deep aluminum pan. Is at 1” hot running in neutral. I have not run the car since switching from TH 350 to this 200. Should it be lower since I’ve got the deep pan. If so how much lower? Thanks in advance for any help you can give here.
