  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

What tranny is this?

    I yanked the motor and tranny out of my '73 Centurion. The motor is a 455 4BBL. I tried looking up a VIN decoder, figured out most of the VIN, but couldn't decode the digit for tranny. The tailshaft has 6 bolts (which I think is TH400 VS TH350's 4 bolts), but the tranny pan isn't square like the pans on GM trucks (what I'm used to). The tranny pan says "hydra-matic Div of GMC) The pan is angled on the front passenger corner, but not a 45* angle like a GM truck TH350, it makes room for a vaccum deal. I'm a little confused if it's a TH400 or TH350. Can anyone tell me based off what I've said so far? I can answer any questions since it's sitting on my garage floor right now. Thanks!

    Buick used the th400 behind the 455 so thats what it should be.

    Sweet. That tranny guide will be perfect. I wanna say that the pan looks like the TH400 in that picture, but I'll confirm tonight when I get home. I was told that the Buick TH400 and Chevy TH400 are the same except for the bellhousing bolt pattern. Is this correct? I'm hoping to be able to take a Chevy tailshaft from a 4WD TH400 and swap it onto this Buick 2WD TH400.
