AT: how to recognize Turbo 350 vs 400
Question:
Is there any easy way to recognize when the automatic is a 350 vs the heavier duty 400. I was hoping to find a 400 in a 1/2 ton … how common are they?? … and what years are they likely to span?? TIA …=shAf= :o)

From what I remember, you can tell by the trans oil pan (assuming its factory!). The TH350 is squarish but has one corner "chopped off". You might try a www search for "how to identify chevy/GM transmissions" or something, I found several good www sites when I was trying to figure out what I had. Turns out I had the TH700R4 in my ‘85 Jimmy. =) Hope this helps, J

The TH400 has a somewhat ‘texas’ shaped pan, while the 350 has a mostly square one….. and they did make quite a few 1/2 tons with TH400’s – i have one, and it was a v-6 truck….. — Jeremy Chavers ‘99 Cavalier Racing Edition 56 HS AOLIM Jer0177 ICQ 15105233

the easiest way to tell them apart is by the oil pan. the 350 is square with one corner cut off. the 400’s pan looks like the state of texas. . 99 seirra 2500 6.0 liter kx 500 mooor poowwwer
Response:
400’s were put mainly in 3/4 and 1 ton trucks besides what’s wrong with a TH 350, their a pretty stout tranny to and more common, all thou a 400 is easier to rebuild. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Is there any easy way to recognize when the >automatic is a 350 vs the heavier duty 400. > the easiest way to tell them apart is by the oil pan. the 350 is > square with one corner cut off. the 400’s pan looks like the state of > texas. > . > 99 seirra 2500 6.0 liter > kx 500 mooor poowwwer
