Project 442

[Jake]

This is so very not my thing, but I'm glad it is yours and you found what appears to be a good one. Should be a super fun project and I'm looking forward to what you do with it! What do the girls think?

Wikipedia says:
"The 1985 4-4-2 used an OZ code THM 200-4R transmission (as did the 1983–84 Hurst/Olds). Both 1986 and 1987 4-4-2 used the KZF code THM 200-4R. The KZF removed much of the shift harshness of the original OZ coded transmissions, but were still firmer than the run-of-the-mill overdrive transmissions used in the rest of Oldsmobile's lineup."

So is yours an '85? Regardless, it sounds like firm shifts are just part of the fun.
