I have an 87 Olds Cutlass Supreme with the 305 'Y' motor and a REAL bad leak from the front seal on the trans. If I understand the trans ID plate, it has the 200c trans ("KBB"). I've heard the 200c is generally a weak trans, and the trans repair shops seem to think they have to overhaul the whole trans instead of just replacing the seal, and that equals $$$. Is there any problems or benefits from putting in a 200R4 or 700 series in lieu of just having the 200c overhauled? I'm not rodd'n it, I believe in stock/pristeen where reasonably possible and that's what I have, but don't want to deal with trans problems in the future, either.
