It reduces the overlap between two gears making for a shorter, quicker shift. This reduces clutch wear and heat. Normally line pressure will be raised slightly and you end up with a quick firm shift that is healthier for the trans.
It is on the drivers side, near the top, a little bit forward of the linkage.
the transmission will bolt up to the block. trans mount in rear will most likely be different. shift linkage will sorta work. reason being is th350 has three forward gears and 700r4 has four forward gears. when i did the swap from th350 to 700r4 i made my own rear mount. instead of the stock shifting assembly i used a B&M megashifter for 700r4. make sure you use the torque converter for the 700r4. it should be noted that this is a common swap and many aftermarket companies offer shift linkage set ups or shifters for this application as well as mounts for the rear of the trans and any other adapting devices you might need.
It's a GM transmission.
You can find an exploded view for a TH350 transmission in transmission service manuals. The transmission service manuals can be obtained from most local libraries.
Well, that vehicle would have had a TH350 trans. So, it would have had 3 forward gears, and then a 4 low in the T-case, so actually, you could split each gear in the trans, making 6, actual forward gears. And then, actually, 2 reverses.
No you cannot. The governers for transimissions have set spring tension for that specific model transmission. If you install an incorrect governer you will find that you will have shifting problems, or no shift at all.
Not hard at all. :)
Probably a TH350
if you have an electrical plug and its a th350. you have a th350C or lock up. it is to control; the lock up soliniod
About 10 to 12 qts
turbo 350, TH350. but its a BOP TH350 not a chevy, same tranny, different mounting holes
