Thanks for all the responses! I should have given more info about my car in the original post. It is a bone-stock Star Chief with the original 347 engine and Hydramatic transmission, strictly for cruising and car shows. The transmission leaks pretty bad and it has a very hard shift into 3rd. I'm taking it out to have a shop rebuild it. In doing research to see what my options were, I read in another forum about interchangeable transmissions and the 200R-4 was one of them, but they only mentioned late 60's versions. I don't know how hard they are to source, but this one from an '87 Monte Carlo popped up for sale locally and at a pretty good price, so I was thinking about grabbing it up. Fingers crossed that the rebuild of my Hydramatic solves the problem. We'll see. Thanks again for the advice!
