REGAL transmission time

[MrSony]

Could i use a turbo 400 trans with my sbc 305. I found one locally for 150.

Would require a different crossmember if you don't have an overdrive transmission in there. Even though a TH400 is a 3 speed non od trans, it and the 200r4 share the same crossmember coincidentally. If you have a rolling chassis, just get a 200r4. that'd let you run a higher stall (with converter lockup) and steeper gears and still be at a reasonable rpm on the highway. The 200r4 also has better 1-2 spread and better od than a 700r4. Plus almost all 200r4s are unibell pattern, meaning you can bolt basically any gm engine to it, chevy, buick, olds, pontiac, cadillac. 700r4 are only chevy. If your car is running and driving, keep the 200r4, nothing wrong with them. Put in a shift kit, make sure the fluid is good, get a GN 2400 converter (or similar stall), make sure the tv cable is adjusted and the air door tension on the quadrajet (if original 4 barrel carb is still on the engine) is good, and you'll have a great car.

If you would go with the TH400, keep in mind it uses an electric kick down switch.

Is my tv cable suppose to be loose at the carb?? Could that be the reason my regal won't shift??

So there are Canadian Parts books and Canadian repair manuals, too? I never even thought of that. Canadian cars never switched to olds 307's? '87's were 305 Chevy's too?

Edit:
In the Parts book, Export Regals have a H vin - 305 LG4. Available Transmissions are TH200C 3 speed (MV9) or TH2004R 4 speed W/Overdrive (MW9)

I found the Canadian repair manual.

God I hate Labatt Blue, even when I drank beer. I know for sure up here 85 was sbc 305, guy at College had one. Unless they were like the Hurst/Olds, 442 and 88 Cutlass and basically US cars as all were Olds 307 powered from the factory.
