Happy reading! http://www.camaros.net/forums/search.php?searchid=5100977

 

...I'll search more, ...but I get a "no matches" error from the link above...?

 

Don't do it! I went the other way much more fun to drive. I went to a TKO600 5 speed.

 

Do whatever makes you happy. I went from Turbo 400 to Muncie 4 speed, then to Tremec TKO 5 speed, now to 700r4 and I love it.
Make sure to get the correct carb brackets for the TV cable.

 

I want to do a 4 speed to 2004r swap asap. Let me know how it goes.

 

Make sure you get a core from 87 or up. They added an accumulator in 87 that fixed that annoying hard shift into Drive. I had a 83 core and the shift from Park into Drive was brutal, annoying and IMPO helped destroy the crankshaft thrust bearing in my motor. Also, invest in GOOD TV cable setup as this is the most important part of the 700. Get it right and you'll enjoy it, get it wrong and you'll be looking for another 700 soon.

 

...I've been on the fence with what trans switch to do myself... but since you mention this added accumulator in '87 (for the 700R4)
...is there a similar hard shift issue with the 200R, ...and if so, ...what years should be avoided there?

Thanks,

Kevin

EVERYTHING you need is there.

I purchased my cross member, tv cable, brackets, and carb linkage from them.

Really nice people to deal with.

 

I used a 200r4 from an 86 monte SS, didn't really notice a big thump from park to drive. While it was not an 'easy' swap, it is do-able by most of us. I swapped a pg to 200r4, so the shifter and pedals did not have to be touched. But since you have a 4 speed, I would recommend a manual OD trans, that way you don't need to remove the clutch pedal.
