    Bind before shift TH350

    We're working on a 79 Malibu wagon. We have 200 4r swap in the works. Meanwhile it's got a Th350 that's acting up. At WOT 1-2 shift, it binds like its in two gears for a second or two, then up shifts. At first I thought it was a fuel starvation problem because that's kinda what it feels...

    Is there any way to use the bottom feeding 700 filter with a stock steel 200 pan? I heard about a spacer or something. Does this part enable this combo? If so, where do I get one?
