200m?

I went and paid for all my driveshafts supports and everything today to find out the th350 isnt that its a 200 metric i believe is what he was calling it he said the only thing different is that it doesnt have a modualer or something and its a one peice tailshaft? im not really sure and I dont know anything about transmissions so im just wondering if this is going to be a good transmission or will it hold up

A TH200 is a good deal weaker than a TH350.

Its a th200c computer controlled transmission. Its refered to as a "metric" transmission. They are made with weak lightweight parts to improve fuel economy. Oh yeah its a 3spd, with 1:1 third gear, if you care.

The TH200 isn't computer controlled.

I don't anyways he happend to have pulled a good th350 by the time I got there in my dads truck to pick it up so I ended up getting a th350 driveshaft supports and everything else were going to fab up our own bracket for the tailshaft instead of paying 80 for the b&m one

Well, first of all, there are two types of TH200 metric trannys. A TH200C and a TH200. The "C" in TH200C stands for computer, it has a computer controlled lock-up torque converter. Then there is the far superior "metric" TH200-4R which is a pretty good tranny with overdrive, and computer controlled lock-up converter.

The TH200 and TH200C are nearly identical, the C indicating that a lock-up TCC was used, not that it was computer controlled. Neither of these is computer controlled, like the 4L60E is for example. The TH200C was used in some applications which had no computer in the car at all, where the lock-up was controlled through vacuum switches and other such conventional means.

The TH200-4R is a later development incorporating an overdrive section added behind the front pump.

All three of these are "metric" transmissions.
