Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GMC Oldsmobile Pontiac turbo 350 only.com I don't sell any parts or supplies, but will tell you where to find them! 350 specifications: cast aluminum case, iron valve body; weight- 120 pounds length- 21 3/4' 4 output shaft extension housing choices: 6', 9', 12', 4WD Here is a 4WD, the shortest output shaft: An output shaft housing is what the driveshaft plugs into.
It is aluminum and is held to the rear of the transmission case with 4 bolts. Above: example of a 6' housing.
350 pan shape: Has 13 pan bolts. Use a 1/2' socket. 350 pan gasket: Two types: Cork and Fiber (fiber is the most preferred) There are three main case patterns: 1) The Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Cadillac engine-to-transmission bellhousing bolt pattern is easily identified by the 'ears' at the top and by the valley centered at the top, (below): 2) The Chevy pattern is peaked at the top center (below): 3) The dual-fit or multi-fit pattern case has both patterns built in, and fits any General Motors of those years.

You can see both the valley and peak designs (below). The alignment pin holes and the lower bolt are the same. The alignment of the 350 transmission is done by two metal pins sticking out of the rear of the engine block; the 6 bolts hold the trans straight against the engine block. Bolt 'tip/trick': Removing the top 2 bellhousing bolts from underneath the car is made easier when the rear of the trans is hanging down and then using a 9/16' swivel-socket on a very long extension. Also: remove the engine distributor cap before removing the transmission. QUESTION: 'Do I need to replace the torque converter?'

ANSWER: 'Mechanically, most old converters are fine. BUT: If your transmission had any crud in it, so does your converter, and there is no way to ever get it all out now. Eventually, that crud will be pumped out into the new transmission. Also: - check the shiny chrome part of it that plugs into the front of the transmission. Inspect for wear where it has been spinning in the pump bushing.stick a finger deep into the converter. The gear you feel should turn only in one direction, not both.
If the trans died because a shaft broke, and there is no clutch material or anything in the pan, maybe you can use the old converter. Otherwise, it is usually best to replace the torque converter with a new one or with a properly rebuilt one. Nobody guarantees a rebuild when using an old converter.' One way to tell if a 350 is 'lock-up' or is a 'regular' is the input shaft (the part that sticks out the front, deep into the torque converter) lock-up, above ( weaker model of 1980-1986) regular, below ( strong model of 1969-1979) NOTE: they use different torque converters 350 forward clutch 350 speedo gear (some use 'thin clips', some use 'wide clips') Different color gears are different outer sizes; use to adjust a speedometer not reading correct due to a new tire height QUESTION: 'What's the difference between a 6-cylinder engine turbo 350 and an 8-cylinder engine turbo 350?'
ANSWER: 'Internal only. The direct drum and the forward drum from an 8-cylinder model have shorter pistons in them, allowing an extra clutch plate each, spreading the wear over more clutch material, making it more heavy-duty. It is easy to make this upgrade.' View from rear 350 accumulator cover (it is easy to damage its rounded seal when rebuilding, causing later leaking. A special tool helps to install it.) QUESTION: 'I installed a good working 350 trans, and it now won't shift past 2nd (into 3rd/Drive). What could I have done wrong in the installation?' ANSWER: 'Assuming there are no internal issues, usually it is one of 3 items listed below.

Can teach you. Build yours yourself, with help! I am a retired rebuilder and can assist you with your bench (rebuilding) job, at your location in the San Fernando Valley or the Los Angeles area. It is far easier than most engine guys think it is.
I can quickly help you or teach you this knowledge. Build it yourself, you know that there were no shortcuts taken. And it is FUN! I will help with the real 350s of the years above, but NOT with the weak '350-C' models that followed. (The 1980 to 1986 'C' electronic lock-up models were introduced to supposedly improve fuel economy, but the modifications also lowered the reliability & strength of the transmission.) TRIVIA: most of the vehicles that came with TH-350s had chrome bumpers!
