The TH350 is a minor downgrade from the TH400 - as a general rule of thumb, the TH350 was GM's small block transmission, while the TH400 was reserved for big block engines. Its Achilles heel is the excessive end play between the fluid pump and center support structure, which allows the direct clutch drum to wobble back and forth slightly. The problem is easily fixed during a rebuild thanks to improvements developed by the aftermarket. Despite this flaw, the TH350 is extremely popular and can be affordably built to handle tremendous abuse. Novak Conversions, who specializes in adapters for Jeep drivetrain conversions, claims the TH350 is the shortest and strongest automatic transmission than can be adapted into a Jeep. The clutch and band specs depend on the transmissions original application, but the consensus is that the bigger the original engine, the stronger the transmission is. A lockup converter was introduced around the 1980 model year, called the TH350-C, which was implemented into order to boost fuel economy.
