Finally pulled the 200-4R
UPDATE: So, I left it up to my buddy to decide if he should tear down the tranny or just do the pump that he suspected was the problem. He tore it down after seeing some clutch material in the pan. I was apparently a few stop signs from grenading the damn thing. The band was so close to dropping out he said I would have lost second gear in a few hard shifts. The center support is very bad, allowing the rear splined shaft to move way to much, which I had complained of. It uses an 8 pack of clutches and plates that are all worn out. It needs a bushing kit. Since it is not a lock up converter it uses a non lock up valve in the pump so there is flow. The valve is a one time use, pressed in valve and I need a new one to put in the new pump. The price just skyrocketed, but at least it will be good again. I put 28,000 miles on it in the last 4 years, all of them hard miles. Too many rolling burnouts and neck snapping launches at the track I guess.
