What he said!

I'm a big fan of the 200-4R when compared to a 700 and it can be built as a strong little unit, but I would consider it a maintenance item behind a 535 cid engine.

A few thoughts,
A 4L80E DOES have engine braking in stock form.
You will not experience it in the OD or 4th gear position because as stated the trans must be in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd to bring on the...

I've seen this tried and still have one made this way. Good luck with keeping it from leaking.

If you need any 4L80E tailhousings, I have a surplus of them I will sell.

I wouldn't suggest blocking the accumulator. It will help the problem, but won't fix it.

Limiting clutch pack clearance by installing an extra steel isn't "all" of the solution.

A stiffer 1-2 accumulator spring will make the 1-2 shift slightly firmer (on a stock auto shift type setup) because it acts in conjunction with accumulator oil to make the 1-2 accum piston harder to...

You will create a pretty good sized leak in the reverse circuit by doing that unless you plug the feed to the boost valve in the plate, case, or pump.

It will definitely reduce reverse pressure.

You can easily have a TH400 auto-shift and live at that power level.

Nothing fancy required. The B&M plate is even OK as long as it doesn't have the feed holes drilled too big.

The overrun of the direct drum is dependent on how much drag the forward clutches have.

It doesn't need to be in reverse. Warm running, slightly revved up, yank the TV cable all the way out and release about 15-20 times, then retest.

If it's early on all shifts it is likely related to the TV system. The governor, unless it loses the spring, sticks (unlikely on a 200) or the cover is loose (higher rpm shifts) it will not change.

No such thing as a new converter unless you find a NOS one. All of them are remanufactured, even if you go to the GM dealer counter and buy one for a late model vehicle.
