I don't know what the pressures were. For a converter I have the ACC Performance "Boss Hog" 2800-3200rpm with lockup. I realize it's not the best choice. It has about 1000 miles on it. I think the only decent part in the transmission is the Extreme Automatics valve body. The rest is a monster...

At this point I don't know if it can be band-aid fixed, at least until I can get into an Extreme Automatics stage 2. That will depend on the extent of the damage/cost.

Never saw smoke or smelled anything burning. The debris feels like a sludge, slightly gritty but not really. It definitely has some metal in there you can see it in the sunlight. I think I will have to pull the whole trans and have it looked at by someone who knows what they are doing.

Well here's a picture of the pan. The fluid looks fine, but these deposits are in the pan. Is this clutch material?

Please excuse the long post, I have a 200-4R in my Cutlass behind a 408 c.i small block chevy. The transmission has very few miles. It has a monster in a box 200-4R kit with an extreme automatics valve body, and a 2800-3200 converter with lockup. Everything was working great. My lockup did...

I don't know exactly what valve body I had originally, the car is an 87 Cutlass, not a 442 model.

UPDATE: I went with Lonnie's 200-4R valvebody and governor assembly and had it installed locally. Everything works great now, no longer having 2nd gear start issues or stacked shifts. The governor was calibrated to the RPM that I asked for, and shift quality has improved greatly. Very pleased...

Sorry, what I meant by cleaning up the TV was the passage in the trans where the plunger and TV spring are located.

It seems I have two issues working against me. I have too much minimum TV pressure causing second gear starts, and the stock governor needs to be modified by grinding down the weights to get higher WOT shift points. I will clean up the TV to make sure nothing is sticking and leave it as is...

I couldn't agree more about letting the builder find the problem and fix it. But, if there are still issues I would like to get it fixed properly. That's why I was asking about what part it could be and where to source it.

Do I need to buy a different spring for this? If so where can I get one?

As far as I know the only modification to the valve body was the 200-4R Superior Shift Reprogramming Kit, which was included in this "Monster in a Box" deal. This was included in its contents. These are the only parts that were changed from stock. ▪ Gaskets ▪ O-Rings ▪ Lip Seals ▪ Sealing...

Hey everyone, I had a 200-4R put together with a Monster Transmission rebuild kit. I have driven the car minimally since its been on the road but the transmission would always start in second gear when it was in drive. If shifted manually this was not a problem. If left to its own devices it...
