I am looking to buy a TH400 to have built for my T56->TH400 swap coming up. My first question is... does it matter how old of a tranny I buy? I have found used TH400's anywhere from 1967 to 1982. What do I want to look for ideally
?
Second question; yes it is going to rebuilt... but do miles on the used tranny matter that much? I found a 1979 TH400 with 70k miles and then a 1969 TH400 with 165k miles. Would either be a good choice, or do I always want the newest and lowest mileage?
Thanks guys in advance. Your advice will be super helpful.
