200 4R Install Questions.

There's a bit more than just changing a few hard parts that goes into a well built transmission. Knowing what parts to use and which parts to modify can make or break a build. As long as you know what you are doing, go for it.

Even guys like Art Carr can't figure out how to run a lock-up converter with them. There are some shops out there that specialize in building these specific transmissions, but not many. That speaks volumes to me.

Oh yeah there's lot more to it than what I mentioned. Those two parts just happen to be a couple of known problematic issues in higher HP applications that could cause a catastrophic failure. There's still a lot of other things that can go out but won't do near the damage if they fail vs the input shaft or drum failure. The guy that's building it seems pretty sharp. He's been on point with any of my questions or concerns and he's making me a good deal on the build. I've called "reputable" shops that build 200-4R's all the time and some seemed to only half know what they are talking about. The more I hear about problems with Art Carr, the more I'd want to stay away from them.
