the "200-4R"

I had to build up the 200-4R in my SS this past summer (2000) because I had not know of a little thing called the TV cable and its importance to the world of transmissions.  My saving grace was that Dad owned a tranny shop and two the knowledge of the people on the G-body and Monte mailing lists.  First of all thank you all.

I had recently blown out the rear main seal in the 355 so this was all good timing. Good, but expensive timing.
this transmission was built not as a tire chirping waste of money and traction loser, but rather as an efficient means of transferring my new found power to the ground.
So this is what took place:

Parts:
200-4R CZF
2500 stall lock-up converter
Rostra Universal TCC Solenoid
Extra BW friction plates and clutches (special sizes were order according to tolerance needs)
Superior 10 Vane Tuff Pump front pump comes with hardened front stator
Superior Super Servo
Superior Shift Correction Kit HP unit
AAMCO Master Rebuild Kit
Extra friction clutch in the OD set
Extra friction clutch in the Main set
Bryco hardened sun gear shell
.500 throttle boost valve
.300 reverse boost valve
OD piston milled .085" to accommodate extra clutch
RTV used to seal around new filter
Torrington Bearing system used throughout
Any and all updates to the transmission were made
New flywheel added ('cause the old one was missing teeth)
and I think there is more too...


Here is the Super Servo on the left as compared to the stock SS unit on the right.  The apply area is quite noticeable even in my blurry photo.  Damn automatic cameras.


All of these parts are the reasons why I didn't choose to do this one my self. Yikes!

A work in progress:

the finished work: painted yet again F@rd Blue.  Oh and the shameless plug.


Shown is the only piece of billet aluminum on my whole car... and it is under the car thank god.  the bloody servo took over a week longer then expected to arrive so the car sat and sat.  Oh well the price was right.  Mmmm... open headers.

Here is a little article from the July '99 issue of GEARS magazine it is quite informative:
