WHAT TRANSMISSON DOES IT COME WITH?

[Ribbedroof]

TH200/250/350 all use same mount points, and are dimensionally the same for fitment.

Perfect!!!! All this is going to help me alot...When the rain stops i will for sure look under car and check out the band adjuster and the bolts on the pan to determine what kinda trans I have and will keep you posted...


If i have a th200c, do u guys recommend me getting a th350 in replacement?

Re: WHAT TRANSMISSON DOES IT COME WITH? UPDATE!!!

For Chevrolet G (A) bodies.... If it was factory-equipped with a 305 in '80, it would have been a TH200C...229s also got them

267 and 231s got TH350s


1980 was the first year for the lockup (in 49 state cars anyway), and it was operated without a computer via a series of thermostatic ported vacuum switches and an electric/vacuum switch on the inner portion of the left fender on Malibu/El Camino models.

HOWEVER...it was pretty common for TH200s to be replaced with TH350s when they failed, as there wasn't a lot of support for the TH200.

11 pan bolts...TH200
13 pan bolts without band adjuster ...TH350
13 pan bolts with band adjuster ...TH250
Very few people look for the band adjustment and almost everyone assumes they are TH350s

As a side note...every 83 305 I've seen (and owned) had TH250Cs...not TH350s

So the rain has stopped and I got a chance to go under my elko and check out the bolts on pan and to see if it had that band adjuster...


It has 13 pan bolts and YES it has the band adjuster...so I have a TH250 😀

Im so glad I found out what i have, now i know why its performance sucks!!!lol..should i get a TH350????

theres a guy on craigslist that has a good TH350 for $200 obo....i should jump on it? what u think guys? Thanks for all ur help guys!!!!! ur Awesome!!!

Check the length on that transmission. When I bought my 383 years back it came with a 350 transmission also, all out of a guys 70 Chevelle. The transmission ended up being a long tail 350, not sure if that's just what he used or if the old Chevelles had long tails stock, but just wanted to caution you.
