Re: 200R selection



I have some experience driving a 700 R4 with a highway gear and I loved it. I will need an overdrive trans for my full size Wagoneer project when I get back to it, but I need some heavy duty qualities because this thing will sometimes have to tow the race car trailer. The 3.08 first gear of the 700 is cool when you use a high rear end gear. Then you get great gas mileage too.

My suggestion on the 200 over the 700 is based on several write-ups in various cookie-cutter car mags. The later model 200s are prefered over the 700 because of the lighter rotating mass and gear spacing. Several of the Chevy mags have done a build up of these LATER YEAR trannies, and I think it is Chevy High-Performance in the last edition who did the most recent. They suggest replacing several of the internal bearings and the front pump, but they say in a light body (TF drivers know what I mean) the 200 will out perform the 700. Also they say it is half as expensive and more common. Not sure what years to look for, I have never run a GM tranny except for the old PGs and 400s.....Russ
