Default Trans weight - turbo 350 vs 200 metric

Can anyone tell me the weight difference between the metric 200 and turbo 350. Any difference in converter weight-8 inch?

Mike I can't remember for sure , but I think 20 -25 lighter on the 200.
The converter difference would be negligible .The hub is shorter and smaller diameter, but the pilot has to be extended , and also the mounting lugs , in most cases

Mike,

I think it was 50-60 lbs. on the tranny, Metric is lighter ... I don't think there's
3-4 lbs. difference in Convertor's ... Hope this help's & hope all is well ..
Good Luck @ Indy & enjoy yourself ... Have Safe Travel's...

It depends on the TH350. A TH350 with two aluminum drums, lightened planetaries, a 250C sun gear shell, and 250C output shaft is fairly light.

I think Mark is pretty close.

Very close to the same, depending on what options they are fitted with.
