Fastest TH-200

Aluminum drum is one of the best investments you can make (about $700) . Thomas Arnett is who I would recommend to build the trans. Leo sells most of the parts that you need and very helpful. Ron.

They all build great products... find one you can work with and who is available for questions and close by.

I use Jack Sepanek (Sepanek Trans), depenable and is at all D-1 races. Gets dirty at the track.

Good luck

Robert, I bought a powerglide that was built by Sepanek. I did purchase it used but was supposed to be fresh from Sepanek and from a racer in his home town area. I dont know if someone else had been in that trans after it left Sepaneks shop. It had mismatched parts and someone had shimmed up the clearances to make it work. After a number of runs it finally tore up and ruined my convertor too boot. Needless to say I was real surprised when I took it apart and figured out why it broke. I had heard good things about Sepanek as well.

One thing I have learned is buying a fresh any thing is risky. Unless you are actually picking it up at the place that supposedly freshened it.

Great point Novadude, Sepanek is reputable and his shop number is 570-457-6517

Does Leo make a transbrake valve body?

I don`t know witch 200 trans is fastest? my Scott McClay has over 200 runs on it, never had a problem with it, I use synthetic trans fluid and I have never changed the fluid, I`m lazy, plus if have decals he pays. Tom

Thomas Arnett (has some parts from Leo) for us and a bunch of others around here.

Mark Yacavone · 06-21-2013, 10:30 PM

Those mentioned are all good at what they do, and all good people too....but I'm surprised nobody mentioned Billy Lynn yet...He's been building 200's since the early 90's anyway.
