I was informed and shown by a former GM transmission engineer that the TH200, Oldsmobile diesel engine powered cars have a beefier case. He had both a standard gasoline engine case and a diesel powered case next to each other. The diesel case was beefier and thicker and also has the universal bell housing pattern. The diesel case was also heavier.
