That and I couldn't ever get it sealed (3 or 4 new rear seals and 2 new gaskets, then an aluminum trans pan upgrade with another gasket....its still leaking fluid on my floor.

I'll be glad to have a trans that's truly built for abuse...and hopefully holds its fluid too.
So...who built the 200R4? Was it you? Art Carr builds them quite well, with or without lockup convertors. http://www.cpttransmission.com/index.htm
