− | It is considered a light duty transmission. When used with heavier vehicles e.g. GM B or G-bodies, this has resulted in a high failure rate, and its common for the TH200 to be swapped out for a TH350. Scott McClay Engineering has improved the weak points of the TH200 by using some TH2004R internals. | + | It is considered a light duty transmission.

Scott McClay Engineering has improved the weak points of the TH200 by using some TH2004R internals e.g. Kevlar-lined bands and clutch discs sourced from the 2004R. Since 2013 the TH200 has supplemented the Powerglide in drag racing. |

+ | A TH200 derivative used with the 1979-85 GM E platform automobiles (Eldorado, Toronado, Riviera, Seville (1980-85), the TH325, was introduced for the 1979 model year and upgraded in 1982 to the TH325-4L. Much like the TH200, the 325 suffered the same failure rate until the improved 325-4L was phased in. | ||
