type of transmission

[1984-monte-carlo-ss]

hey guys what transmission in in my 1984 Monte Carlo SS? the previous owner says its the original transmission that has 217,000 miles on it and he ripped out the computer but he had put in an overdrive switch because he took the computer out. please help! thanks!!!

200-4r if it has overdrive.

But is it overdrive or a lock-up converter?

TH350 if its stock like he says. 83-84 had the TH350s then in 85-88 it went to the overdrive trans.

Now that I think about it. It has to be a lock-up switch. So the question is, does it have 3 or 4 forward gears? If it has 4 then its a 200-4r with lock-up. If it's probably a TH200 or TH250 with a lock-up converter.

They did have th350 lock ups too. And that's what they came out with. So if it's stock. than that's what it has..

Do it the right way. Here's an id chart. Go by the pan.

hey thanks guys its a th350 with a lock up torque converter, if i change the transmission will i be able to eliminate the switch i have?

Yes, if you have a non-lock up trans. What is your reason for wanting to change?

I'm gonna put a 383 stroker in her lol and its annoying to have to keep flipping the switch
