Transmission Swap

Posted by Reyman R. Branting On 2016/4/6 14:00:48

Before committing to a Bendtsen adapter for a 55 400, I would like to learn how many hours a shade tree mechanic would be apt to spend in making the swap. I have a competent mechanic who will actually do the work, but he is gun-shy on the hours involved.

Both the 700R4 and 200R4 have been mentioned as good alternatives to the Ultramatic. What is the difference in the two transmissions? Are both overdrive? Is there a significant difference in overhaul costs?

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bernardi
