The brace on the pass side is a must have item....If you really want to sleep at night call Leo G. For the replacement bell housing. Money well spent and far superior to the factory metric case.....

Worked on a KS/A with a Metric 200 and I remember calling a trans guy to see if that brace needed to be there. Never saw anything like that before. I left it after being told DO NOT TOUCH IT!

We do run a brace, and haven't had a problem in 3 years.

What does the brace look like,and where does I t go?

[Bob Don]

I cracked two before going to an ultra bell.

One version:

This is kind of off topic but still a metric question. Has anyone ever broke a rear end gear set and as a result hurt the transmission, specifically a metric 200?

Turbo Action also has a bellhousing for Metric 200. Check with them.

Common problem not only related to TH200's. Anytime you tear a ring & pinion out, it's a good idea to drop the pan on the trans at the same time. Banging from the rear end often causes roller clutch (sprag) failure.
