    Hey guys, I *may* have to replace the transmission in my Regal, and I'm thinking if I have to do it, an overdrive might be nice for mileage. When I bought the car, I was told it had a TH350 swapped in, although I never did actually determine that for sure. Assuming it does, what all would need to be changed to put in a 200R4?
