Hello experts and people smarter than myself...So for the longest time i assumed my car (1984 Buick Regal, V8) had a TH200 transmission, which i beleive came from the factory on some of these cars. Well today i was going to replace the pan gasket on the trans pan to stop some leaking and behold the gasket set doesnt fit. This leads me to the interwebs to figure out what transmission is in the car. I know I could have and should have done this before...So a 13 bolt pan tells me i have a TH350, which i see as good news. At least i have something worth having a rebuilt...which needs to be done based on the amount of metal i found in the pan today! For now i think my questions are simple and some i think i have already answered based on that previous reading on the interwebs.
The kickdown cable is a detent style cable (see photo) which made me assume the trans was of the TH200 variety. I'm used to seeing the other style kickdown cable. Is this kickdown assembly correct for a TH350 of that era?
The trans is also of the electronic lockup variety. Some of my reading tells me that i can remedy this by getting a non-lockup converter and not using the lockup cable...true false?
Here are some pics of what I have. Any info to add and things i should know are always greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
