Haha...life gets in the way at times. I have a lock up converter switched with the brake pedal switch, does that make a difference? No real kit

I have one of Lonnie's 200r4 also, he installed the spring, can't remember which one but told me it was the right one for the kit. Believe it or not, I have the trans for three years with no time on it. Just getting to it last couple months.....now snow I was curious how others experienced...

Yes, all those steps done. But I left out the trans pan was off to see the plunger was bottomed out at the same time I reached WOT. The spring in the trans is the one that came from the kit. My question was where most people used to locate the lock screw within the slot in the plate. Just as a...

Thanks John, just what I was looking for. Set the cable all the way towards the firewall and from the pedal got WOT with someone verifying this looking down the carb and trying to accelerate more. Did this twice and same results, by measurement how much the cable was pulled forward. Just trying...

i just got to working on my 200-4R swap and installing my TV cable kit. Anyone running one of these kits? I was hoping some could post pics of the linkage on the Holley carb. Just want to see how the lock nut is in the slot of the plate. Would help me see a starting point. Thanks in advance.

I'm also in Ontario with a 2004-R and not a Grand National. I wanted the 2004-R swap and everywhere I went for trans work or prices, they practically laughed why I would not go to the 700r4. This tells me there is not enough knowledge on the 2004-r in Ontario. I also heard something happened to...

Thanks TexasT, after some searching and some thought, I found that Autometer has a gage and isolator and VDO has an electric sensor and gage. Decided only to run the temporary hand held gage to set up then plug the port. Thanks for the reply.

Hi all, is anyone running the TCI pressure gage? Part number 801100 from Jegs. I can't find any other gage that reads 0-300 psi that I can leave mounted inside. Electrical or mechanical, what are thoughts of running 300 psi mech gage in the car? I would plan to use the - 4 braided line and...

Hi guys, looking to see if there are any recommended tranny builders for 200R-4's in Southern Ontario? I know I could get one from the USA, but would like to find other possibilities. Would also like to use my trans with updated aftermarket pieces and not buy them again. Thanks.

I disconnected the TV cable at the carb end and began to unbolt the cable from the trans case. As I was unbolting it, I heard a snap which ended up being the TV cable that was hung up on something, hopefully it was the universal 2 pc. sheath cable. Nowhere on the sheathing shown any signs of...

OK.....I see now you're playing with my emotions :) My ball is out as well.

Thanks Stovebolt, I will post my findings later today about this cable. REALLY appreciate this help!

Stovebolt, you were right the first time. I do have the adjustable sleeve type with the brass nut. The end that snaps into the carb bracket on my Holley is still snapped into proper position, no change there. Also the end of the cable clip still snapped on the geometry corrector stud for the...

Thanks Stovebolt, What do you mean when it's all over unless I'm lucky? Did I toast the trans?

Thanks for the reply, I was going to try to disconnect the tv cable from the case to see if the cable itself would move, if nothing there I was going to drop the pan next. If this were to be "TV linkage in trans" issue, what can be done so this will not happen again? Planning a trip in July...

Hi Guys, I just came back from a short drive with my car, MCSS 200-R4. Trans was shifting fine for the short part of the drive, semi hard shifts, just nice. Then started to feel like it would take too long to shift. Made it home, I wasn't too far from home luckily. Felt like it was stuck in 2nd...

Thanks mikestertwo, I'll try that this weekend. Tried all sizes of vise grips and thats when everything went down the pipes. I do not use vise grips unless it's a last resort. Would not be able to get a pipe wrench between the trans and floor tunnel. Hopefully this will work for me.

Hi Guys, need your help and advice.:mad: Got a 200R4 and was tweaking the TV cable setting. I got the geometry corrector on the Holley carb. I had another thread going that I could not get my cable to click in WOT position no matter what I did. I went out and sourced a 0-300 psi gage, 6'...

Thanks OIL MAN No matter how many times I tried doing it that way with the clicks, I could not get my cable to click. It's a new cable and all but had used it last summer. I also got no clicks out of it so I had to set it manually then felt good. At least I know now that my cable has to be...

Thanks SSedan64 Thats what I was looking for Tighter is better :wink:
