200-4R Street Performance Transmission | 350–450 HP
The Twisted Street™ 200-4R is our upgraded street build for customers who want to keep the drivability and overdrive of the original 200-4R while adding the updates needed for a mild performance application.
This is a stock-based upgraded transmission, not a race build. We start with the factory 200-4R design, completely remanufacture it, address common factory wear and hydraulic issues, upgrade the friction material and add a mild shift correction package.
The result is a dependable street 200-4R with clean, positive shifts and 0.67 overdrive for comfortable highway cruising.
Rated 350–450 HP depending on vehicle weight, engine torque, tire, gearing and intended use.
Transmission Only. New 1650 RPM Stock-Stall Lock-Up Torque Converter Included. Installation and conversion parts sold separately.
The factory clutch configuration is retained while the friction material is upgraded for improved holding capacity and durability.
This is a street build, so we retain the proven factory clutch configuration rather than adding unnecessary race components.
Every Twisted Street™ 200-4R receives a Stage 1 mild TransGo or Superior shift correction kit.
This package is used to address common factory hydraulic and shift-control issues while maintaining good street manners.
Updates provide:
The transmission retains normal automatic operation and comfortable street driving characteristics.
The pump is completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt.
Street build updates include:
The pump is set up to provide reliable pressure and proper pressure rise without the excessive line pressure used in more aggressive performance builds.
The factory valve body is completely disassembled, cleaned and inspected.
Known wear areas are checked and corrected as needed, and the valve body is updated according to the TransGo or Superior Street calibration.
The accumulator system is inspected and serviced as part of the build to maintain proper shift timing and clutch and band apply.
The intermediate band is replaced during the rebuild.
The factory-style servo system is inspected, serviced and properly set up for the mild Street calibration.
Higher-capacity billet servos and more aggressive servo combinations are reserved for our higher horsepower builds.
Proper TV operation is critical to the life of a 200-4R.
The TV and boost circuits are inspected during the build for proper operation and pressure rise.
Correct TV cable adjustment and throttle geometry are required during installation.
The TV cable on a 200-4R controls transmission line pressure and shift operation. Incorrect cable adjustment or throttle geometry can quickly damage the transmission.
Every Twisted Street™ 200-4R is completely torn down, cleaned and inspected.
The build includes:
Any factory hard part that does not meet our specifications is replaced during the build.
Every Twisted Street™ 200-4R includes a new stock-stall lock-up torque converter with approximately 1650 RPM stall.
The stock-stall converter keeps the Street package easy to drive in traffic, provides good low-speed manners and allows converter lock-up for highway cruising.
Higher-stall and performance converter options are available separately for applications that require them.
