I have an 86 Cutlass with a mild 403, and stock everything else, the transmission is a good used trans I got from one of the members on here its low mileage and in good shape. However it has to be the slushiest slowest trans I have ever had. I had the same setup 403, but with a th350 in an 80 trans am and the feel of the car is just so different its amazing. I went out and bought a Trans go NoYoYo SysKoKal kit which says it just kind of corrects most of the standard shift and reliability issues in the 200r4, and I am looking into changing out the servos. Is this the right way to go to make this thing shift a little more like a th350? I am a little nervous about the shift kit just because drilling into my valve body kind of freaks me out, when I did my 350 all I had to do was install some springs, change a spool valve or 2, and move a few check balls do they make a kit like that for the 200? The servo and stuff I was looking at was from 200raptor.com the description says
#31. 200-4R, Wake your 200-4R transmission up with this kit. You get the Mega Valve, you get the oversize low / reverse boost valve and the high performance intermediate billet servo. These three parts will wake up your 200-4R and can be installed without removing transmission or valve body. Ask for the 200-4R Wake Up Kit. Cost $179.00
Is that worth buying? Is there something else you guys can recommend to me? Im not too scared of working on transmissions and its just the idea of drilling into them that makes me nervous, plus I kind of don't want to have to pull it out again, my exhaust runs right under my double hump cross member and I know its going to be a b*tch on my back.
Also my converter is intermittently locking up sometimes it locks and it feels pretty good other times it doesn't. If I floor it and the converter locks I shift at about 3500, if it doesn't feel like locking I go up to around 4500-5k before shifting. My Tach seems to be a little inaccurate so it maybe a little lower of an RPM. My car originally had a Th200 in it so I swapped the computer with the one from the car I got the trans from and that made it lock more consistently but just sometimes it still doesn't feel like it.
