Hi everyone and happy New year !

I think I have a 700R-4 shifter somewhere. I may be able to get a picture of it if you really need one, but you probably don't...
I don't understand the th200c IS 3 speed and th700 4 speed + overdrive so i Will miss one position using thé old shifter ?
I have the New shift indicator and there IS thé shifter câble bracket on the gearbox (i will take pictures)
i have a th700 câble.

Re: Shifter camaro z28 82

The shifter for the th200 has different detents than the th700. If you're swapping the trans you need the cable and the shifter. I think the shifter handle/hardware is also different. There are no provisions for the electronics for a th700 in an 82. At minimum the converter clutch won't lock up, there may be other issues.

a th700 is a better trans because in every way but a th350 is an easier swap. That said there are ways to make the th700 work with standalone controllers.

Re: Shifter camaro z28 82

Won't they loose the ability to shift into 1st gear w only 3 detents? Are they spaced out the same as the 4 speed also?

Re: Shifter camaro z28 82

I had an 82 years ago and swapped the 200 for a 350. The detents in the shifter didn't line up w what the trans wanted. It was a pain. I wonder if the 83 was different d/t the addition of the 700.

but there's only one way to find out!

Re: Shifter camaro z28 82

Just checked the parts manual for 1982-1984 Camaro- the shifter assembly is called "Control" - part number for all three years is the same: 10027014
So, in theory the shifter assembly is same for TH200C and TH700R4. The only unique part is the console trim.
