* Variations: There were several variations of the TH350 transmission, each with slightly different components and construction. This means their weight can vary even within the same model.
* Casting differences: Even the same model of transmission could have slight weight differences due to variations in casting and manufacturing processes.
* Missing information: You haven't specified the year or specific model of the 350 transmission, which is crucial for getting an accurate weight estimate.
To get a closer estimate, you would need to:
1. Identify the exact model: Look for markings on the transmission case for its identification number or model code.
2. Find a parts catalog or service manual: These resources often provide weight specifications for different components, including the transmission case itself.
3. Subtract the internal parts weight: Once you know the total weight of the transmission, subtract the weight of the internal parts (clutch packs, gears, etc.). This can be a tricky process as you'd need to know the weight of each component.
Instead of trying to calculate the weight yourself, consider these options:
* Contact a transmission specialist: A shop specializing in transmissions might have access to weight charts for various models and could give you a more accurate estimate.
* Check online resources: Some websites dedicated to car parts and repair may have information on the weights of different transmission models.
Keep in mind that any weight estimate without specific information about the transmission model will be an approximation.
