Installation Notes and Best Practices
Proper installation is paramount to the longevity and performance of your new TH350 transmission. While we recommend professional installation by a certified mechanic, here are a few key points to keep in mind:
- Fluid Type: Always use the recommended transmission fluid (typically Dexron-III/Mercron or equivalent).
- Torque Converter: Ensure the torque converter is fully seated into the transmission pump before mating the transmission to the engine. Improper seating can cause severe damage.
- Cooling Lines: Flush your existing transmission cooler and lines thoroughly to remove any debris or contaminants from your previous transmission.
- Flexplate/Flywheel: Inspect your flexplate for cracks or damage and replace if necessary.
- Adjustments: After installation, check and adjust the vacuum modulator, shifter linkage, and speedometer gear as needed.
- Initial Fill: Follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedure for initial fluid fill and level checking.

Q: What’s the difference between a TH350 and a TH400?
A: The TH400 is a heavier-duty transmission designed for higher horsepower and torque applications, commonly found in larger trucks, performance cars, and big-block engines.
