TH200 [76-UP] Automatic Transmission Front Band Performance HD

When the front band on a TH700, TH200-4R, or TH200 unit glazes, cracks, or loses its bite, forward apply becomes inconsistent and slippage follows quickly. This flex-style front band, 1.885 inches wide, is built to restore proper apply characteristics on those units without the guesswork of fitting an off-spec part.

What sets this band apart from a standard rigid replacement is its flex construction, which allows the band to conform slightly to the drum surface during apply rather than loading unevenly at the edges. On an automatic transmission that has seen high mileage or has a drum with minor wear, that conformability matters: it distributes clamping force across a broader contact area and reduces the chance of localized glazing on the next service interval.

The 1.885-inch width is not interchangeable with narrower bands used on other members of the same transmission family. Fitting the wrong width means the band ends will not seat squarely against the servo strut and anchor, which leads to uneven apply pressure and accelerated lining wear. This part is specified for TH700, TH200-4R, and TH200 units built from 1976 onward.

This listing covers a single band, nothing else. There are no clutch packs, no steel reaction plates, no gaskets or seals, no Automatic Transmission Filter, and no servo hardware in this shipment. If your rebuild calls for any of those parts, they need to be sourced separately.

Before placing the order, confirm the transmission code stamped on your unit is TH700, TH200-4R, or TH200, verify the production year falls within the 1976-and-up range, and double-check that your servo apply circuit requires the 1.885-inch band width. Item ships at 1 lb.

• A flex-style front band at 1.885 inches wide holds apply pressure more evenly across the drum surface, reducing glazing and slippage during forward engagement on worn or freshly rebuilt units.
• This listing is for one band only. It does not include clutch packs, steel plates, seals, gaskets, Automatic Transmission Filter, or any other rebuild components. Check your parts list before ordering to avoid a return trip.
• The 1.885-inch width matches the OE specification for the front servo apply circuit on TH700, TH200-4R, and TH200 units. A band that is even slightly narrower or wider than spec will not seat correctly and can cause apply failure.
• Contents: 1 flex front band, 1.885 in wide. Item weight: 1 lb. No hardware included.
• Before ordering, confirm your transmission code matches TH700, TH200-4R, or TH200 and that your unit falls within the 1976-and-up production range. Verify the band width your servo requires before purchase.
