I've heard of people having trouble with the GForce x members, be it fitment or poor qaulity.
I can help with the beer!couple of other things you're missing is the case of beer and a friend to give you a hand with the job and the beer...
I hadn't even thought of this when looking forward to my drivetrain upgrade. Makes sense now that you say it. And don't forget transmission lines (if they were not previously mentioned). Check if your current ones will work, or if they are leaking and should replaced.Also might as well replace the U Joints on the driveshaft while your under there unless you're 110% sure they're ok. Also just do a general inspection.
Is your engine stock? Are you going to upgrade it? Do you race it?
The weakest link in the 200-4r is the forward drum. They are good in mild applications as long as you're not making crazy power you're good.
They use a hardened sunshell. Those are cheap insurance to replace. They changed the stator to already which is good since the factory ones wear bad.
Otherwise that is a good price.

As long as you are not pushing 400+ ft/lbs, the forward drum should be OK. A 2400 stall sounds perfect for your combo. Sounds like a good deal for the trans. I would get a trans gauge and check pressures after install. Mine shifted soft after install, pressures were low in drive and OD. I swapped pumps since I had fresh one with hardened rings, stiffer spring, 13 vane rotor and .500/.296" boost vlaves. The 13 vane is controversial whether it does any good, some say it is even worse than the 7 vane, being weaker. I added the .555" boost valves to get pressures acceptable, from 185 to 215 psi. It might have meant a shortened life if I didn't check pressures. Now drives stock under light throttle and the 2300 flash stall gives a nice launch and firm shifting but not harsh under heavy throttle . One thing you need to upgrade in the stock pan, the sheet metal pan is the best. I have the Hughes pan, seeps a small amount no matter what I do. I run the bottom feed 4L60E early style filter with it. I believe that pan now comes with the bottom feed 700R4 filter. The minimum that should be done is a quart over full with the stock pan due to the stock filter sucking from the top.
So how does one go about checking pressure? Is it a gauge that you actually setup up to monitor in the car while driving? Also something I haven't mentioned yet is I'd like a trans temp gauge in the car. How hard is it to setup? Also there was mention of changing the stock pan. I would love to have a pan with a drain plug instead of dropping the pan. Makes life easier. I know some people dissagree because you wont see if theres anything there shouldn't be on the bottom of the pan. What does everyone thing about it?
