Re: Yet another metric 200 question
Quote:
The TH350 I weighted was without a converter or fluid and it was 115 lbs. my TH200 without a converter or fluid 98 lbs. , so if you error towards the high side 20 to 25 lbs. you will be slightly over weight when you put your car on the scale. I'm also sure there are variations between transmissions and scales so use these numbers as a guide, your outcome may vary. Respectfully, Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA |

Re: Yet another metric 200 question
So I put 20 pounds in it and went up for Q1 and was 10 pounds over at the scales. Glad I put the weight in because that run would not have counted.

Re: Yet another metric 200 question
On Q1 the transmission shifted like an old cadillac. I clamped off the cooler lines for Q2 and it shifted firm but blew the front seal out at the finish line. The good news is the car picked up over 4 tenths and 3 mph from the turbo 350.

The 4 tenths you picked up was with a different converter?

Re: Yet another metric 200 question
No, the 4 tenths was after I clamped the cooler lines off. I did find out the builder was Billy Lynn. I hope I got the name right. Technically it was a different converter and transmission.

Re: Yet another metric 200 question
Clamping off the cooler lines changes the way the pressure regulator works, resulting in way higher line pressure, but also prevents lube and cooler flow. The result of that will be an over pressurized converter which could / will lead it to ballooning , plus no lube flow will burn up the clutches and bearings. This is obviously no good for the transmission . If you are having line pressure issues, hook up a line pressure gauge to help diagnose the problem .
