Yesterday we switched to a different dipstick tube for our newly installed TH350. It was a huge pain. But the old one was leaking badly where it slipped into the tranny. We ordered this TCI "Trick stick"because of it's reputation for not leaking. And it does not leak now it's a huge relief. But the installation was difficult due to just the slightest difference in bends from the original. We massaged the heck out of it and then I see that the tab used to grab a bellhousing bolt is nowhere near anything bolt-able.
So I'm going to try again but at least the leak has stopped. The next one will definitely have the seal that looks like a hat at the tranny end of the tube not the O-ring. |

In what alternative universe to you live in Chief? With tires close to the OE tire height (27" - maybe a common 255/60/15 ), with a non overdrive transmission will tach a little over 2400 RPM at 55 MPH. Even with 26" tall tires (say a 235/60/15), that car would only hit a little over 2500 RPM. Or if it was being run with 14" wheels with the widest available 245/60/14's (25.6" tall), it would only be reading 2566 RPM at 55 MPH. To hit 3800 RPM, the tires would have to be around 17" tall or the car. Can I point out that the car would be traveling over 80 MPH with the 245/60/14's or 86 MPH with the 27" tires. The amount of incorrect information you post here is legendary. I won't even go into the other wildly inaccurate info you have posted in this thread... Carry on, I need the laughs... |

Laughs is what I get from reading this ^ ^ ^ because I owned these cars when they were stock.

Must not have been able to find high gear then?

Par for the course. Canadian takes the advice of a Googling parts pusher.

Wallace's calculator shows at 55mph a TH400 w/3.55s turns 3735 rpm in second gear (slightly more with convertor slippage).
Driver error?? Blame the machine. |

Uh huh. Still not high gear.
How about you show us your math instead? |

Anythime Art Carr wants to send me one of his 200s and I'll install it in my diesel dually and see if it makes 270,000 miles without failure. No doubt in my mind that even with $4000 dollars worth of billet parts and labor my diesel will have no trouble breaking it pulling a trailer and truck combo at 14,000 lbs. shifting through the gears at WOT..... Seems in his advertising he also sells 4L80Es, there wouldn't be any need for him to build 4L80Es if a 200 will suffice, would there?

Why aren't you replacing the 4L80E with a 200, they must be stronger according to you and Art, right? Why is Art selling 4L80Es? You'll never convince me that a 200 is stronger than a 4L80E, but hey knock yourself out. Doubtful that any person with a grip on reality would side with you, but maybe you can convince someone of it. Next you'll be telling me a Dynaflo is stronger than a 4L80E......……………….LMAO Now it's my turn to laugh...…………….

Not trying to convince anybody, just point out thing like plate you will need to bolt it up to your Pontiac, computer to shift , and a driveshaft, the 200 has a lot more going for it and you probably have a 4L85E in your dually because 4L80E we have don't hold up

Well gee, a $50 dollar plate, same if someone uses a 700.
An ECM which most modern transmissions use, it's not 1987 any longer. In my statement I did say that it's more work and money to convert to a 4L80E initially, but worth it in my estimation because of the added reliability. If electronics scare you maybe time to find another hobby, because fuel injection is quickly overtaking carburetors in this hobby. Quote:
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=823023 The 85 has one more planetary gear in it than an 80 does, 5 as opposed to 4, other than that it's virtually the same. Both transmissions use the internals of the tried and true T400, the standby for most all over 400 cubic inch Pontiac cars built until 1976 It was also used in one ton chevy trucks until 1990, when GM debuted the 4L80E in 1991. A probably mostly unknown fact is the there is absolutely no usage of a 200 in any trucks, not even an S 10 in their short run of less than 10 years. I have a good 200 core in an 84 GP, but I would never use it behind a 455 Pontiac after researching them, some people buy into the hype, I don't. A 4l80E, it's a 400 with overdrive. BTW, I do have a 4L80E because after 50 years of wrenching, I do know what is in my own vehicles. It's a 1993 and there wasn't a 85 available in that year, not until 2002. And finally a quote from Jake of Jakes Performance that used to build 200s and has switched over to 4L80Es because he knows that the 200s, as well as other GM transmissions, the 200 just aren't that reliable. Quote:
It's my opinion, and I'd never consider a 200 for rough usage, mostly because I hate to do things over again. Anyone else, feel free to spend your money as you wish. If Art Carr has the bulletproof 200s then why does he offer 4L80Es too? Just asking that for a friend...….. Same as Chris at CK transmissions, he also offers 4L80Es on his site, I wonder why??

You sound like a kid who is an expert at video games, but no experience with the real thing. There was never a stock 3.55 geared car that hit 3800 RPM at 55 MPH in high gear as you claimed and your post wasn't referring to a "stock" car anyway. Are you sure you weren't calculating a 5.55 geared car? Quote:
This is to a gearing calculator that gives the RPM's for a standard automatic, an overdrive automatic, a standard manual and an 5 spd overdrive manual at whatever speed you want by inputting the tire height and the rear end gear. The results for a 27" tire on a 3.55 rear geared vehicle at 55 MPH in high gear: Quote:
Now insert all the same info with 5.55 gearing: Quote:
Your continued refusal to deny the facts to try and validate your grossly inaccurate input in this thread is nauseating. And just for your information - comparing the RPM of a ST300 in high gear (2nd gear in an ST 300 is high gear) to a TH400 in second gear just might be most outlandish thing you've ever done. |
