TH200 R4 questions

[labbetheking]

I'm just about to get my car on the road since being in the garage for the past 7-8 years.
Filled the trans with 4qt of oil and tried to put it in gear but nothing happened .

Is the "device" on the first pic for some kind of speed limiter? (It's connected to the trans atleast)
I'm a total newbie on transmissions and i recall i had some vaccum hose connected from the "device"
to the intake manifold and one to some other place .

Should i just try to add more oil or how should i proceed?

That's for the cruise control. It will not affect transmission operation.

Thanks! then i'll just try to add little more oil.

The 200r4 takes ~11 quarts of oil when the transmission is and converter empty. Start with 8 quarts and add till you reach the right amount.

Had NO idea any Square Bodies came with 2004R transmissions????
