Title: where to order a th400
Post by: 77chevyshortbox on August 25, 2010, 04:45:05 pm

I'm looking at ordering a th400 for my truck, swapping out my th350 and np203 for a th400 and np205, I have a tcase just need a tranny, its way to expensive to get one built in town so I might as well order a pre built one, I need something thats tough and can handle abuse hah, I was looking on summit not sure tho, never really looked around for a tranny before, anyways let me know on your thoughts guys thanks.

How much is too much, keep in mind ordering online is going to be at least $150 to truck freight it.

I'm in thunder bay ontario, about half an hour from the minnesota border so shipping in the states dont matter much, i always order my stuff from there anyways, save alot more money. my limits about 2 grand i guess, i found one from monster transmissions with free shipping also i need to know what else i needa to convert my truck from a th350 to a th400.

I'll be watching for the answers as I've wondered about these same things. I want to upgrade from my th350 to a th400 at some point, as well!

Drive shaft needs to be shortened and the input shaft is different.  The TH400 uses an electric kickdown also.
