Going thur the GN Ttype site will get you up to speed on things.
Mike Ford in Greenville OH does my stuff, and I ain't been able to scatter
his 700R or 200R stuff yet, and both have be abused like you can't imagine.
Some folks wear by Art Carr, I swear at him.  Level 10 is supposed to do
good work.  You need someone who know the turbo motors to do a good tranny
overhaul.   3-200Rs in less then a 100K, with a stock motor, sounds like
something ain't beenright from the get go, I'd try to find a new/used case
and try that.  I know of several 700Rs that were ruined in car accidents
where the only tranny damage was from shock.
