how to identify transmissions..

how do you tell the diffrence between a th350 and a th400 can we have some pictures of the diffrences ..thanks...

 

The pan on a 350 is rectangular with the corner cut off. There are charts on the internet that show you, I can't link up stuff from work.

 

i tried to find some pictures of close ups of both diffrent ones but came up with nothing

hmmm on the chart the trans pan on a th350 is smaller than the th400 but on my trans i have the cooler lines and the vac*** asembly on the p*** side ...??

 

That's right. The 400 has the lines on the p*** side too.

 

ok so thats what i got than ...now what transmission is a better one th350 or th400 and why

 

A 350 isn't as strong, but are still very strong. If you don't have a super high horse motor, might as well use the 350. They use less hp, and if you go to a 4 speed later, very little has to be changed.
400's are good too.

 

ok cool thanks for the info ...
