I am switching out a 200R trans and putting in a TH350 is the front yoke the same on these ? Thanks

I am in process of doing the reverse, and yes the front yoke of the driveshaft is interchangeable. Overall length of the two trannys is also the same, so the same driveshaft works. Crossmember will not work without modifications.

Razor376, you're going backwards! Why would you want to go from 4 forward gears to only 3. If you're doing it because you think a TH350 is stronger, that's incorrect. A properly rebuilt 200R is just as strong.

I was going to go to the 350 cause I have a fresh 350 already with the Auto/ Manual kit in it and I figuired I would wind up with $ 1,000. or more in either getting a 700R or overhauling the 200R after all the modifications are done. I am open to any suggestions though cause I haven't started the change out yet . Thanks Ray

i'd be interested in taking that old 200r off your hands if you do go ahead and do the swap.
