TBucket 200-4R Transmission Project

I don't know you can do what you do with no garage. I would have given up a long time ago.

Thanks for story, I think you are trying to make me feel better...... it's working! Thanks again!
 
I think if I was Dorian I would have worn out 2 sets of kneecaps kicking my own ass! Good for you! Did you replace your 2004r with a Muncie? Did I read that right?

Ooooh, and that was only the trans :D I've done much better... or rather stupider.

The 200-4r was in the Chevelle. Once I installed it I never looked back. The Chevelle is now sold. When I bought the corvette, I wanted the experience of a V8 with manual... Now I think I need manual + OD :rolleyes:
 
Best to start off with the ATSG drawing to keep everyone orientated.

After removing all the clutch plates, next to come out is the piston (622). Notice all the burned on friction
material. Below you will see that it's all cleaned up. The steels need to move freely along the spline.

You are looking (photo below) at the side that faces the front of the trans, opposite side from photo above. The lips point forward also.

Also had some metal transfer from the steel plates. This would explain the extreme difficulty in removing the
Forward Clutch from the case.

Cleaned up the friction material and metal transfer in 5 places.

Hmmm. Nice to see pics of the internals of a 200-4R. It was the most satisfying yet intimidating thing I ever worked on. Go, go, go !!!
 
I posted yesterday on this but obviously the post got deleted some how.
Id be surprised if the component that ran through that center where the clip and seal were damaged did not also show at least minor damage, that bent seal and retainer obviously were deformed with a good deal of forces at some point.. or was that the result of a tool used to remove that component?

After removing the piston, I pulled the seal out so the photo would show which way the lip was
pointing. Sorry, false alarm!

The seal on the outside perimeter has already been removed and therefore is not visible in the
photo.
 
I can,t help being VERY amazed at your photographic skills,
even if the trans never gets repaired, but it looks like your making progress there also
 
I'm way past the point below where I'm removing everything from the trans case. I just have
not felt like posting nice annotated photos lately.

Right behind the Input Drum (Also Called "Sun Gear Shell (640) ) ...... is the Low Reverse Clutch.

Ok, so that's all there is to dissembling the transmission. Next is the inspection of any components that
were NOT already obviously bad as they came out.

Removing the Low/Reverse Clutch Housing (646) was a pain. So after removing all the internals,
I smoothed all the sharp edges along the internal case splines that were hanging-up the removal
of the L/R clutch housing. Next time it won't be so hard to remove.

Since the TC didn't see the same extreme heat as the forward clutch, I think it's worth giving
it a try to see how it works.
