I have a 1986 GMC K1500 with a 350, 700r4, and np 208 transfercase.

After putting the new motor in I have killed my trans.

It slips through all gears, and fluid is very burnt with 3000 miles on fluid/filter

I am thinking of either of having this one rebuilt or getting a new one

If I have this one rebuilt what kit should I have them use, (my dads best friend owns a Chevy Dealership and his tranny guy said he would rebuild it if I wanted to.)

If I get a new one what companies should I stay away from and which ones are really good, I have got a TV made EZ kit from Bowtie Overdrives and It has worked great.

Also what spline output shaft do I need to have in there for the NP 208 transfer case

yeah i live in southern vermont and the tranny guy is in the western connecticut a 1.75 hr ride and i set the TV cable up right with the help of the shpo i work at

i totally agree, I had a tired 305 then i put a 350 .060 over with dual 500 edelbrocks on it. I used to like trying to burn out but the motor didnt have enough behind it and i slipped the trans like crazy(i didnt know better back then) then when i put some snot behind it, it went down hill fast from there

So does anyone else have an opinion about what to do idk

Have the trans properly rebuilt and the TV cable adjusted correctly.


IF you have a strong engine then a performance rebuild would be a good idea. Often the tranny guys at dealerships do not know performance mods to perform on the trans
