I'm only 38, and haven't hit the lottery, so no retirement for me quite yet. :lol: I'm changing career fields and will be working for a global communications satellite company.

Just wanted to let y'all know that August 18th will be my last day with Hughes Performance. It has been a real pleasure working with so many of you. This is a great community of people! Bill Koppinger will be taking over Hughes Performance representation on this forum. If anybody has any...

There were some 9-inch 32 spline output shafts also in some TH400's. It's no big deal to use it in your G-body with a shorter driveshaft.

I have yet to find a 12-inch core that will fit a JW bell housing regardless of what their instructions say. There's plenty of radial clearance, but not enough axial clearance.

This is not correct. An Ultra Bell will definitely not accept a 12-inch torque converter. You can barely fit a 265mm converter in some of those bell housings.

As others have mentioned, the transmission case cannot be repaired. You're going to need to get your transmission re-cased or replace the unit entirely. Worn-out or broken engine mounts will definitely contribute to this type of failure, but if all this happened while running the car on jack...

We will rebuild just about any unit out there. If you're interested in purchasing one of our complete units then MR.com member price on our 650 HP transbrake-equipped TH350 (part number 35-3) is $1,511.00 plus shipping. We also offer an 850+ HP version under part number 35-3X. MR.com member...

You have a good combination of parts for a street car. Your engine will produce a lot of low-speed and mid-range torque, making it a lot of fun to drive on the street. You don't need a converter with a 4,000 RPM stall speed rating, nor do you need a 4.10 gear ratio. Your engine is going to...

A properly assembled TH350 will easily withstand the amount of horsepower and torque your combination is generating. Mark Sussino (slimbo) has had one of our TH350's and one of our 8-inch converters in his Grand Prix since 2010. This car weighs 3,900 pounds, covers the 60-foot clocks in the...

With proper fluid maintenance and temperature management you can probably easily put 400 - 500 hits on that transmission without any issues. Keep an eye on the pan for wear debris. If the pan is clean and the transmission is functioning properly then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

If anyone is coming to the PRI show this year be sure to stop by and say "hi"... we'll be in booth 929. Thanks! :D

Hughes Performance has been a family-owned and operated business since our humble beginnings in 1971. Brothers Jim Hughes and Jeff Hughes along with sister Jan Bleichroth have worked together in a labor of love for many years to build up what is now an internationally recognized brand and...

No issues at all with a 6-bolt case in that combination. You have nothing to fear. Whoever is telling you to avoid that case is providing incorrect information.

Yes, you can replace the bearing with a thrust washer in order to achieve proper end-play in the TH350. You may have to shim the washer accordingly.

This could be caused by a number of reasons, including bumping the transbrake button when the car is in motion, a problem with the piston in the back of the case, a crack in the case, a cut lip seal, insufficient clearance in the clutch pack, etc. A welded reverse clutch pack is typically a...

We have not found any significant power limitations (within reason) to the 6-bolt TH400 transmission case. We have a customer with a 3,000 pound drag radial car equipped with an alcohol EFI 632 and an F-3R 136 ProCharger utilizing a 6-bolt TH400 case without any issues. Another customer of...

Sounds like you bent or broke something in the shifter linkage. If everything external checks out then it's time to drop the pan and see if something is bent or broken inside the transmission. The internal shift linkage clamps around the manual shaft. There is a pin that is integral to the...

Part number 21-25L is a good part number for our torque converter product line. That part number is a 12" Street Master lock-up torque converter that will fit the 200-4R as well as the '82-'84 700R-4 featuring a 27-spline input shaft. That part number carries an advertised stall speed rating...

No, unfortunately not. Sorry about that!

The B&M 20248 governor recalibration kit is well worth the investment and will make your life a lot easier. Should be able to achieve everything you need with that kit.
