Re: Metric 200 Trans
Mark,
Would there be a disadvantage to using a 200-4R transmission which has a much stronger case? Jim Last edited by JWagner; 03-13-2014 at 09:47 AM. |

Re: Metric 200 Trans
The 200-4R is about 50 lbs heavier, and the overdrive gearset would add some inertia. Overdrive is .67 ratio, which is a bit too much to race with, but can be switched out to a .72 ratio from a Strassburg built 4 speed version of a 180-C . There are some performance parts available, but the main one to get is a new Forward Clutch Drum assembly. The production one will snap off the spline on the input shaft. Aftermarket shafts have cured that problem.

Re: Metric 200 Trans
Because of what Russ mentioned, I assume, the 2004R seems to be at least a tenth slower than a 3 speed, even just using 1-2-3 in the quarter.
