This seems like a disadvantage, but it allowed the automatic transmission to be installed in the Corvair model. The determining characteristic of the Turbo 350 transmission is that it has an almost non-existent central support, especially when compared to the 400. Defining Characteristics of the GM Turbo 350 Transmission The only significant difference is that a variable pitch stator is absent from the torque converter. But in all appearances, it looks like the original 1962 Super Turbine Powerglide manufactured by Chevrolet since they shared several components, which include the torque converter. The torque converter that the Turbo 350 transmission has was eventually carried over to the TH400. The production of the venerable Turbo 350 transmission stopped entirely after 1984. But it was pulled 4 years later due to its inconsistent acceleration and downshifting. In 1980, a lockup torque converter was finally added to the Turbo 350 transmission. The Turbo 350 transmission was heavily produced for about 15 years but was eventually phased out as the 700R4 became the preferred transmission in 1984. But it works exceptionally well in vehicles with V6 and V8 small block engines. This transmission could be found in almost all rear-wheel-drive cars and trucks produced by GM until the 700R4 debuted in 1982. The Turbo 350 transmission is one of the strongest – and shortest – automatics installed into a Jeep due to its power. It has a pretty solid balance of size and power and easily fits in smaller automobiles.
This automatic transmission became popular almost immediately due to its compactness, strength, and versatility. It was introduced in the model year – i.e., 1969 – as the successor to the Powerglide automatic transmission from GM.īuick and Chevy jointly developed the Turbo 350 transmission, otherwise known as Chevrolet-Buick Combined Transmission or the CBC 350. (granted I did put 15000 miles on the car since then 10,000 of them pulling a camp trailer) but gee wiz.Īt least this didnt happen in the middle of washington state or 1/2 way home from florida last fall.The GM Turbo 350 transmission is a 3-speed, automatic shift transmission and one of the greatest automatic transmissions ever built. i cant believe i could have burnt it up.įwiw I had the trans rebuilt by a local shop less than 9 months ago. Has anyone ever had a similar problem? if so what was the cause?

when I checked the tansmission dip stick I wasnt completely full of fluid, but it wasnt in the FILL ME NOW area either. luckily I was able to push the car into another gas station and called a coworker to help me pull it to his house.Īnyhow. as the light went green i put my foot down and nothin happened.no forward motion at all. then drove about 4 more miles before I had to stop at a traffic light. I drove about 1/2 mile to a gas station to put air in the tires. I wasnt in any hurry to get home and it had been quite awhile since I had driven the car so I was babying it.
as I was leaving my buddys place it was running great. The car started right up and I backed out of his garage with no problems. During the winters when I am thrashing on other cars I store the car in my buddys garage thats about an hour away from home Last night the wife and I went to pickup my 40 from storage.
