what other trans can i put in my 89 rs wit low modification.

i just dont think the 700r4 is a good trans

how hard would it be to put in a turbo 400

 

Whats wrong with the 700R4?

 

idk well besides the fact that my work truck has gone through 7 of them in one year..11 total since ive got the truck.. kinda makes me dislike the 700r4

 

why dont you like the t5??

 

i wouldnt mind a manual but idk where id find the 3rd pedal the master cyl slave cyl shifter or trans

no junkyard around me has a v8 camaro let alone a manual one

 

Turbo 400's are 3 speeds, you aren't going to get as good of mileage as you would with a 700. If you buy a mildly build 700, they're a stout transmission and will last a good long while. A 400 isn't necessarily a stronger or better transmission, it just has one less gear.

 

i was under the impression the turbo 350 were 3 gear trans an the turbo 400 was the same as the 350 but with overdrive geat

and i have yet to blow the stock turbo 350 in my 78 silverado truck and im mean to it ill cram it into reverse while driving an still have it work fine

 

A th400 is just a stronger trans than a th350. The th400 came in larger vehicles, like cadillacs, suburbans, etc.

 

The 400 was put behind higher output V8. All the GM vehicles used them, not just Cadillac. There is a stronger 350 also. Might be why your truck one last so long.
Maybe you just get crap trannys. Stop going to Aamco!

 

Jeep also used the th400 trans in their FSJs, back when AMC owned them. My Cherokee was odd, it had an AMC engine, TH400 trans, and Chrysler front and rear end. The TH400 was used because FSJ's are very heavy, the 360 and 401 V8's were everything but high output. I think my 360 made about 250 horse, maybe.
