Monster Scamissions has terrible mechanics and terrible service. Stay away!!!
Way too much stall. That’s what’s causing soft shifts. Pontiacs don’t like a lot of stall
Saludos desde Ecuador de cuantas pulgadas es ese convertidor morado como lo busco
i pulled the tranny pan on my 88 olds cuttlass supreme classic the other day. I needed to replace the tcc and while in their i went ahead and ordered the 4 gear pressure switch..... Upon receiving it and trying to install the 4th gear p.s. it would only screw in half way... I re tried many times,,, I didnt want to force it stripping out the threads... so went back to the orginal which screwed in all the way.... My question is,, do you know where I can find one ??thanks df
Can you show what should be done to the 200-4r if you want to convert the transmission to run a non-lockup converter
Your knowledge on transmissions, is amazing! Great job explaining the process and taking the time to show what each part plays.
So I can use the factory 4th gear pressure switch in my trans to ground the lockup solenoid when it shifts into 4th? I could put in a brake switch for a car with cruise control, and wire it to break the circuit when I tap the brakes.. and could also run it to a switch so I can opt not to run the lockup. Does that make sense, and does it sound like a good idea? Thank you for the video.
Should have went with Art Cart!
You must know some one their they sold me the biggest peace of junk . Are they paying you to say this ? Are do you work fir them
Hey man! I've been watching your videos on the Lemans. I was hoping I could ask you a few questions about the complete setup of the car!
I'm thinking of putting one into a Monza behind a 350 I am building for Autocrossing mainly. I just can't decide what to do for a converter though.. use what they recommended with the cam, or shoot for further up the powerband? Or keep it full auto even if I can find the right valvebody / shiftkit ?
Can I install the 200 4r for 1992 Buick roadmaster ? Instead of the 700r4 ?? And what shall I replace also if I decided to swap ??
I have watched this video several times trying to follow the description you give for how you wired up the relay with a momentary switch on the shifter and I'm only left with frustration. A complete wiring diagram showing everything would be extremely helpful here.
I'm installing a nice 2004r from Gearstar in my Transam Replacing the 350 Hydro. Do you have to cut the driveshaft to make it shorter or did it work with the stock length driveshaft ?? I'm also putting in a 461 CID Tin Indian Performance Kauffman engine 545 hp God damn I cant wait till spring !! :)
Did you ever make the video for for fitting a 700-R4 bottom sucking filter onto a 200-4R? I wanted to do this and cannot find the video.
Thanks for watching! I didn’t make a video on the bottom feed filter. I ended up putting a Hughes Deep pan on it and it comes with the bottom feed filter set up.
@@gearheadfellowship7690 Thanks. Too bad; I cannot go any lower so I'm trying to find a solution that uses the stock pan.

cool
What is your cam profile? At .050 and lift?
Glad I saw this.
EXELENT LOVE YOU VIDEO FROM PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷 ¿ I HAVE A QUESTION ? I HAVE 200 R 4 TRASMISION OLDSMOBIL CUTLESS SUPREME BROUGHAM 5.LT 307 1987. ¿THE CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECT 👌 I PARK THE CAR CHECK THE TRANSMISION OIL WAS NOTHING IN THE DIPSTICK DIDN T HAVE OIL, ANT STILL I CHENGE WEAR TO REVERSE THE CAR MOVE, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE THE CAR MOVE. SORRY MY ENGLISH. THANK YOU
How's the trans holding up
Good video
Monster Transmission SUCK.
Still? 🤔
1500 miles behind a turd and it's out for rebuild? Stock turbo 400 is still running somewhere
I’m pretty sure that Aamco gets their guys from monster
just FYI, you mounted the solenoid in backwards. the 45 degree cutout on the body bracket is there to provide clearance for the TV actuator lever so it doesn't restrict its movement.
Nothing but bad reviews with monster transmission.
Yet now days everyone says there shit .
Yeah...check out my other videos. We go inside the trans after 1500 miles.
@@gearheadfellowship7690 I just subscribed so definitely will be doing so .
I can't say I've seen a person use 4 cinder blocks as wheel cribs. Glad you didn't die.
Lol...good eye but take another look. The car is up on Jack stands. The blocks under the tires are just a secondary system mostly for stability since the car is up high enough to slide the trans out. Appreciate the concern though!👍
Man monster sucks butt, I have a 700 r4, hasn't worked right from the beginning and to get them to stand behing anything or support it is just worthless. The local guy that rebuilt it for me said everything in there used or junk or not setup right. How can these clowns do that. How hard is it to there job right.
Not impressed with the shifts
Neither was I. Rebuilt it but sold the car before I got the trans broke in. Holding up for the new owner, definitely doesn’t shift like a th400.
Not god, good. Sorry.
Check out Richard on youtube at Precision Transmissions in Amarillo Texas. The man is really, really god at rebuilding transmissions. Any of them.
How’s the 200 holing up
I went through and rebuilt the entire thing at 1500 miles.
How much would you sell the hardened forwarddrum
How did the CK performance products work out?
Need a burnout video
Hey I'm from Tallahassee and my sister lives in Crawfordsville. I'm interested in your car. I would like a video of the exhaust sounds. I'm going autotrader to send my information. I live in Georgia.
Hey Tony, thanks for watching. The exhaust is mostly stock; stock downpipes, stock Midpipe (all good for emissions!) just has the Tennabe cat back so the car is better than stock but definitely not obnoxious, it hums really is the best way to describe it. I have it listed on Facebook marketplace, you can message me directly on there and I can send you some videos.
So did you plug the TV cable whole? If so with what? I know this video is older but I'm slowly doing the same modifications. Thanks
I just left the TV cable in place to plug the hole, but then when I couldn’t get the manual VB to work with double feeding the direct clutch I had to swap back to a standard TV cable required valve body.
@@gearheadfellowship7690 thanks for the reply. I got mine all back together with no leaks. Put a 10in converter in it and it's like a whole knew beast.
What gear is in your Pontiac
hey thanks for watching! What do you mean what gear?
Saw you posted on one of the Pontiac sites. That dash looked good, i like how you did the turn signal lights
Hey thanks for watching! Yeah I was pretty pleased how the turn signals came out; pretty stealthy! I also put the high beam and brake warning lights in the well for the speedo. Been thinking about setting up a shift light the same way. Thanks again and all the best!
Mine was a learn as I use it deal - bought a TCI streetfighter through Jegs like 1998? Put it behind the tired stock 402, lost 2nd gear about three months in. Drove like that until I could afford to send it to Art Carr when they had an outfit in Reno about year 2000, and got a crate 502. It held up well, only issue about 2003 had bad slipping from hot Calif. weather but oddly it recovered and has been fine. Other issue was lockup solenoid control, but you showed that fix.
Checking in asking how the transmission has been doing? And I've bought a single Torqstorm and MSD Atomic FI for my 502, selecting a cam, and can either leave the 11" 3,000 stall Art Carr converter, or change to stock case CK 2,600 stall - both lockup. Need my (Art Carr) 200-4r gone through again to handle the upgrade-who should I go with?
Hey thanks for watching. Sounds like you have some big plans for that 502! I would reach out to Lonnie @ Extreme Automatics or Dave Husek at Turbobuick .com and give them a run down of our mods. They can work up a great package for your needs so I hear.
If you want a job done right, do it yourself.
Great channel! Can you use lockup with only the 4th gear pressure switch (no brake switch or manual switch). Also, should the 12 volts be switch hot or constant?
Great questions and thanks for watching. Allow me to answer your questions in the reverse order that you’ve asked them. Your second question is regarding if you normally have 12 V going to the solenoid or not. The solenoid defaults or fails to the open position for the protection of the transmission. So if you lose the electric current going to the solenoid it will unlock your converter and protect the system. You don’t want to have your converter locked up when you slow down this would be like trying to stop a manual transmission car without never pushing in the clutch pedal. It’s really hard and the transmission really hard on the engine and definitely going to stall it out once you come to a stop. OK and your first question was could you just use the fourth gear pressure switch without anything else in the circuit; you could do this but it would be problematic it would probably lead to transmission damage for the reasons I just mentioned. If all you had in the circuit was a hot 12 V coming to your solenoid out of your solenoid to your fourth gear pressure switch and that’s it, then when the fourth gear pressure switch saw pressure it would automatically ground out the circuit completing it allowing the solenoid to close and locking up the converter that’s fine until you want to slow down. When you apply the brakes the converter wouldn’t unlock; only when the transmission will go to downshift it would unlock; when the transmission shifted out of fourth gear. This approach would lead to very rapid converter clutch application as soon as the transmission shifted into fourth as well as very late disengaging putting added strain on the transmission and the engine. The way the fourth gear pressure switch works is it grounds out the circuit to the case, completing the circuit. I hope this helps best of luck with what you’re working on.
So did all 200r4 have that solenoid? Think it may the problem in mine, but if it needs 12 volts, I wonder if the wire has just lost power outside of the transmission?
Yes from the factory all 200r4s had the TCC solenoid to activate the lockup converter. Thanks for watching!
did you ever corrected the 3rd gear bind
Can you please give me the name of the book,and companys for info on rebuilding this transmission. Thanks in advance
My apologies for not responding to this sooner; I just saw it now. The rebuild manual comes from a organization called CK performance. You should be able to go to their website and find the build manual in the 200 for our section. All the best and thanks again!
hey what's up bro did you ever find out about your 3rd gear bind
Hey thanks for watching! the third gear bind was coming from the dual fed direct clutch applying quicker than the secondary band was releasing. both would be applied at the same essentially locking down the trans hard! big problem when doing an up shift at 70mph! It’s almost gone now, only a slight issue when letting off the throttle after a hard stab in 2nd. gone pull the VB and send it to Extreme Automatics for some magic sauce!
did you open third accumulator on the valve body plate
You don't need the secondary spring in servo. If you want a hard kick there is a spacer you can buy to be solid.. most kits come with it with the explanation..
hey thanks for watching! yes sir! got it all corrected when I rebuilt it myself!👍
I can assume that you’re gonna use a momentary switch because it’s just for quarter mile runs? Otherwise, why not use a regular on off?
Great question and thanks for watching! The main reason to use a momentary switch is brake application; when you hit the brakes in a factory set up the TCC disengages the clutch. A momentary switch with a holding relay, getting power from the brake blight switch does the same thing. If it was a toggle switch then after hitting the brakes in traffic the tcc would lock the clutch immediately which may be a problem if the trans downshifted, the engine was at low RPM, etc.... This is only a problem if you forget to toggle off the TCC when you hit the brakes, I’m very forgetful and don’t want my human nature to mess up my transmission. That’s why I built that safety circuit with a momentary switch instead of a toggle. Thanks again!
