Good morning to all,
The TH350 I weighted was without a converter or fluid and it was 115 lbs. my TH200 without a converter or fluid 98 lbs. , so if you error towards the high side 20 to 25 lbs. you will be slightly over weight when you put your car on the scale. I'm also sure there are variations between transmissions and scales so use these numbers as a guide, your outcome may vary.

Respectfully,

So I put 20 pounds in it and went up for Q1 and was 10 pounds over at the scales. Glad I put the weight in because that run would not have counted.

On Q1 the transmission shifted like an old cadillac. I clamped off the cooler lines for Q2 and it shifted firm but blew the front seal out at the finish line. The good news is the car picked up over 4 tenths and 3 mph from the turbo 350.

Just to be clear here... You said the cooler lines were plugged but now you have a cooler?
The 4 tenths you picked up was with a different converter?

No, the 4 tenths was after I clamped the cooler lines off. I did find out the builder was Billy Lynn. I hope I got the name right. Technically it was a different converter and transmission.
