Dave, I know you run a PONTIAC... are you running of his 200's? Any updates for 2008?

Zracer305,

I wasn't trying to be funny, but Leo is a very good Tranny guy and Racer...Word travels fast and
his cars are fast, so what can you say !! Very Impressive... Yes, I run a T- 200 and have been with Sepanek Trans for several years... He is very dependable and know his stuff and will work with you all the way... Like I always say he is the best keep secret in racing...Trouble free trannys and always updating....Yes, they are worth the money and will pick you up... Call him, you won't be sorry... Nothing new for 2008, except staying away from those FI cars... enjoy, Dave

anyone trying the light th400?

One thing that may help on the case breakage problem is to run a rubber trans mount. Many racers use a solid steel mount, and that puts a big twist through the trans, if there is any chassis flex. This is actually good advice for any transmission, not just the 200.

SS/3011,

You are exactly right about the tranny mount.. The last time I broke a case I was using a solid mount, never again.. The tranny needs to flex a little or you will have nothing but problems..
No- problems with trannys since, the other thing to do is an engine strap on drivers side, that also helped.... Good luck, Dave,

Ditto on rubber rear mount and torque strap on driver's side of motor. With those, the side brace and cast pan have had no further case problems. One other problem area could be the stock cast stator support on the front pump. I've broken one, and a local Firebird racer has also experienced that failure using the TH-200. Jim Mantle has a fix he's developed for that by re-machining the pump to accept a specially modified steel stator support......
