MONTE CARLO GEAR RATIOS... Huh?!?!

When you jack up the car to check for a posi, look to see what trans you have. Multi-tasking!

 

[The Last Don]

Put a floor jack under the center of the axle. Block the front tires. Jack it up. With the emergency brake off and the car in park and both tires in the air, try to spin one of the tires by hand.

If it doesn't spin freely, you have a posi.

Turbo 400's don't use the same kickdown process as the factory trans (200-4R, TH350's, 700R4's use a TV cable). TH400's use a switch. You need a TH400 kickdown kit. Check summitracing.

Put rear up in the air... Caused an eclipse... JK! Spun the rear wheels and they spun freely... Dammit!

Thank you pontiacgp - 16 bolts... TH2004R - not a TH400...

So... How can I get more torque/power out of this setup?

 

[Turbolq4]

Turbos and nitrous. Preferably at the same time.


Repeatability may be a slight issue.

Isn't that a 200c? Not the 200r4
The metric on the pan gives it away

Th200c (3 speed) pan is shaped like the TH350. It's a TH200r4.

A properly rebuilt th200-4r is actually a nice thing to have. The th200-4r is a 4 speed / overdrive trans which would allow you to run numerically higher gears and not be running at crazy RPMs on the highway. Now that we know the trans isn't what the previous owner said it was (not all bad), it's time to check casting numbers on the engine to see if it is truly a 350, or a hopped up 305.
