Well Guy's...and Gal's, looks like my engine #'s match the VIN, but, The tranny is not the correct one. Runs great and seam's to shift nice and crisp, so , I realy cant complain...BUT....I realy what to know if it is even the correct type of transmission...and if the gearing would be diffrent than it is supposed to be. SO...looking to find out the following if possible, and I took some pictures that I hope will help.
1) is it in fact a THM400 like it is supposed to have, or something else
2) if it is...or is not a 400, is the gearing difrent and going to make issues for the drivetrain
3)the following #'s are on the tag...can anyone tell me what vehicle the tranny is from....and how it would be diffrent from the one that is supposed to be in there  75P480        75CP  40309   
 
    Thanks for your help...then I think I will stop searching out #'s and torchuring myself!!Confused

If you have a fairly square pan with a corner cut off, it's a THM350.  If it's a rectangle with notches in two corners, it's a THM400
 
The 400 uses a 2.5:1 first gear ratio
The 350 uses a 2.75:1 first gear
 
I don't have a book for the numbers.   Someone??

It is a 400 trans. Adams' Apple2008-06-21 18:44:31

All 400s are the same...there are no differences in anything but the calibrations of the valve body, and a (very)few internal parts differences. As long as you order/request parts for a 400, they'll work just fine.
