B&M 35229 TRANSPAK User Manual

B&M For the car

Congratulations! You have just pur-

chased the most complete and versa-
tile recalibration kit available for the TH-
200-4R transmission. We have endeav-
ored to make the installation instruc-
tions on the following pages as clear
and complete as possible. Installation
of your Transpak can be accomplished
by anyone with minimum mechanical
experience. It is important however to
closely follow the instructions. Read
through the instructions completely
before beginning the installation.
Read each step carefully before pro-
ceeding, if you do not understand, go
back and read the step again.
NOTE: This Transpak is not a cure-all
for an ailing transmission. If your trans-
mission is slipping or in poor general
shape, the installation of this Transpak
may worsen the condition. However on
a properly operating transmission in
average condition, the Transpak will
provide the kind of transmission per-
formance your looking for. Check the
tool list at the end of these instruc-
tions for the tools required to install
your Transpak.

INTRODUCTION

This kit can be installed in a few

hours by carefully following the instruc-
tions. Read all instructions first to

familiarize yourself with the parts
and procedures. Transmission com-
ponents are precision fit, work slowly
and do not force any parts. Burrs and
dirt are the number one enemies of an
automatic transmission. Cleanliness
is very important, so a clean work
surface from which oil can easily be
removed is necessary.

This kit contains all parts neces-

sary to obtain two different levels of
performance, depending on intended
use:
1. Heavy Duty; For passenger vehicles,
towing, police, taxi, or any other heavy
duty use. Firm shift feel, perfect for
every day street use.
2. Street; For full performance street
use. Street level produces firm positive
shifts and maximum transmission
torque capacity.

It is important to install either the

heavy duty or street levels. Do not mix
modifications from different levels.

When installing your Transpak there

are several other B&M products you
may wish to consider:
DRAIN PLUG KIT 80250: TH-200-4R
transmissions are not factory equipped
with a drain plug. The B&M Drain plug
kit is inexpensive and easy to install
and it helps eliminate the mess during
fluid change or pan removal.

TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER: We
feel that it is very important that every
vehicle used in a heavy duty application
(Towing,RV, Commercial, Police, etc.)
should have an oil cooler. Heat is the
major causes of transmission failures,
and an oil cooler is an inexpensive
safeguard against overheating and fail-
ure. B&M offers a wide range of trans-
mission coolers to suit every need,
which are available at your B&M dealer.
TEMPERATURE GAGE KIT: 80212
Most transmission and converter fail-
ures can be traced directly to exces-
sive heat. The B&M transmission tem-
perature gage can save you a costly
repair bill by warning you ahead of time
of an overheated transmission. The B&M
temperature gage is extremely accu-
rate and dependable, it comes with all
necessary hardware and is easy to
install.

DISASSEMBLY

Automatic transmissions operate

at temperatures between 150 and 250
degrees Fahrenheit. We suggest the
vehicle be allowed to cool for several
hours before disassembly to avoid burns
from hot oil and parts.

The vehicle should be raised so

there is at least two feet ground clear-
ance for ease of installation and safety.
