I might have an old 70's Chilton manual out in the shop that covers that stuff... I remember reading through it when I started tinkering with TH400's a long time ago... and specifically recall seeing mention of the sprag being installed backwards on the FWD cars. I'll look for it tomorrow if I think of it.

The spinning could have killed whatever. Good luck dude with it. They work between breakdowns.

I thought a 200r would bolt up to a Chevy engine. The PTC converter you have on the 350 will work if you have a flexplate with the small bolt pattern. Yours must be a large pattern.

If that's the look of the fluid after your flushing routine, you'd better have it cut opened, inspected and cleaned. I would hold back on the attitude until you find out what gave up the ghost. I've had customers make complete aces of themselves just to find out there was an installation error on their part that caused the whole situation. Not saying that you did something wrong, but you never know until you know.

What's up Alvaro...just realized it was you when you post all the info Paul spoke of here are some good calculators to figure it out...been going through the exact same stuff with my car as we speak TCI - TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Racing Calculators I'm hoping to try out a little more boost and lock my converter this weekend and see if I can get booted from Cedil -Scott

Yes the converter is a lock up. It is an orange stripe. I know its not the greatest but I needed it to test and it was cheap. What really gets me is that I had a bad misfire one time (I think my fuel pump sucked up some air) and the stall came back and it worked fine. After the car was shut off and restarted about an hour later the stall was gone. I have not been able to recreate the symptom since.

I have not talked with those guys that did that(alltough Finland is only 50 miles north over the gulf from Estonia). But I sure will when I snap the first chain. But as I can see, it is just longer bolts, sleeves, some plates and additional chain plate(the...

ok thanks

Well as far as the additives go on the link provided it does say that there are additives in the hyd fluid, whether theyre similar to the ones in tran fluid dont know. I did have one of the trans guys email me back and they said that it wouldnt work with the lock up converter being that it would cause the converter clutch to fail so im assuming that if one has a nonlock up one would be fine
