Title: GM TH375
Post by: mike in mo on March 27, 2008, 02:28:16 pm
OK a guy give me this tranny with no converter i know it worked good as it was in a truck he drove. don't know where the converter went but i need to find one so i went looking in summit and it said 350/375 and 400 are all the same so i tryed to put a 350 converter in it and it don't fit whats the deal. i know the 375 is more like the 400 so do i need a 400 converter or is it 375 only? its got a wire running out the side of it so do i need a lock up converter?

You need a converter for a TH400/TH375

The single wire is for kickdown, on my '87 it's computer controlled.  I just removed one of these trannys last weekend you're welcome to the converter if you're close to NW Arkansas.  I don't know what you're swapping from but the length from bellhouse to tailshaft is 33 7/8...you may have to shorten the d-shaft?

I was under the impression that the TH 375 was all TH 400 with the exception of a smaller TH 350 rear output shaft/spline.
