Re: 85 Executive 454 needs new transmission by Ken
Post New Message Gregg,
I am a new RV'r but old time streetrodder. The Turbo 400's from Chevy's are basically the same. Some may have different length tailshafts. Check that, other than that it should work. If you are going to the trouble to do the work yourselves, you might just want to have the original rebuilt. Many shops will do 350/400 trannys pretty cheap. If you do, ask for the heavy duty clutches and a mild shift kit. A new converter is a must in either case. Also, if you use the junkyard tranny go ahead an put new seals in front and rear while it is out and change the filter. Hope this helps.
