Thank You!!! thats what I really needed, this weekend I will start with drive shaft and exhaust, or might

I thought you were just installing a transmission

 

[marz442]

Yes, just the trans? I'm fallowing the advice given. Am I doing it wrong?

Where are you at with it right now? Do you still have the original trans in the car? Is the car on jack stands yet?
What do you plan to do with the old transmission if it's the original one?

I thought the transmission was already out and you were just installing one...the suggestions I pave didn't help you at the point you were at..

Well I just started. I have the car on jack stands, and the old trans is still on the car till the weekend.
I would like to have the trans rebuilt! Do you know anyone who is reasonable?

you want to find someone who knows the 200 r4 and not just any transmission mechanic

It depends on what your idea of reasonable is. My personal opinion is that a stock 200-4R isn't worth rebuilding to spec without some upgrades. There's a reputable builder in Mundelein called Jimmy's Transmission. He's supposed to know his $hit when it comes to 200-4R's. I don't know what his prices are but you generally get what you pay for with anything. http://www.jimmys-trans.com/

If you decide to sell it instead of rebuild it let me know. I'm even close enough to give you a hand, but this weekend isn't good and I'm out of town for work Mon-Wed.
