Shifting at 4600 rpm?

Well said fishy68.........
I have worked on alot of transmissions, but still wonder myself, how they work after mods have been done to them.
Things get complicated because your changing one thing that effects another.
I still have not built a transmission all by myself ,but i am getting close to that goal.
The next one i have built ,will be built by my hands and the help of a freind that built my last one for me.
He is very good and consitant at torque flights and has a great track record as far as really making a strong product.
He said he would let me do all the work, and he would be there for help and advice.
When i say i have worked on alot of transmissions, i am talking convertors and valve bodys and band adjustments.
I have changed alot of front pump seals and tail shaft seals and so on.
I still have not done my own friction disk and steels with a feeler gauge and a complete rebuild by myself.
Transmission questions and anwsers can get complicated.
THANKS :thumrigh:

Yes some things you change can affect others. Once you learn what affects what it's a piece of cake. You'll love rebuilding a torqueflite. I did my first one in high school auto shop in 1981. Torqueflites are a very simple but yet great transmission. If you like to read there's a super good book out on them by Carl Munroe entitled "Torquelflite A-727 Transmission handbook". It's very well written and has several chapters starting with the original design and function all the way to building a full race unit and everything in between. You can find it on www.amazon.com or E-bay. It costs about $15-18 so it's not expensive. One thing to note is even though it's written for a 727 the same principles apply to a 904. They are for the most part identical except for parts sizes and a different front clutch spring assy.
