Can someone tell me why people are transplanting 200r4s into their vettes?
I have noticed alot of threads where people are asking about installing 200r4s into their cars. I can not uderstand why people would go through the trouble to do this. It is a light duty transmission. GM designed the 700r4 because they realized that they needed a stronger overdrive. That being said the 700 was vulnerable, but i can be fixed to survive at a small expense and is just comon knowledge on rebuilds, the only reason for one to fail these days is that the builder did not do good work, or just driver abuse.
I found this link and i suggest anyone considering a 200r4 install read this before you make your discission. http://www.webrodder.com/article.php?AID=426&SID=6 . The 700 parts are just plain old bigger and stronger.
There maybe a reason for this install that i am missing and that is why i started this thread. I want to hear what people have to say about this.
The only advantage i can see is that you do not need to shorten the driveshaft for the 200r4 install, but that is a minimal expense and no reason to sacrifice the duribility of your vette.
