Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

sdcarsey, you said, "I'd suggest a boost valve to help up the pressure and a good set of servos. They don't cost a lot and are good insurance the trans will survive. The ones I've used has ranged from fresh builds with all race internals to just pulling one out of a used car and installing the boost valve and servos. That combo will allow a little more room for error with adjusting the TV cable too."



Good info, I am definitely not a transmission expert. But I'm damn good at research. But just because a site tells you to replace this part or that part doesn't really tell what I need for the trans that I'm building. Sounds like you're not telling me to go whole hog and replace everything with super heavy duty stuff. You're just telling me the important things I need to make "MY BUILD". That's exactly what I want. Now the questions.....

Do I need:
pressure regulator valve
hardened stator support
10 vane pump (I think this is a no brainer)
hardened pump rings (these go with the pump)
2nd gear Kevlar band
Bearing (sun gear to internal gear)
Bearing thrust rear carrier for lo/reverse roller clutch
plate (lo/reverse clutch waved) plate (direct clutch backing 4.50mm)
9 friction plates in the lo/reverse clutch pack
ETC, ETC...

My point is, I'm not building a race/drag car. Just a cruiser with attitude so what things in the tranny are really important to upgrade. I don't mind spending a little money to ensure that the tranny last a good while. This car will never see the drag strip!! But it might see a Mustang (in the rear view mirror!!!!).

As for the non-lock-up
