Cheers TrailBeast. good or bad, it's all experience. I learned more about transmissions from having one fly to pieces internally then watching it pulled apart with a short explanation of what goes on in there than I probably ever would have otherwise. One day I might even get keen and try to...

Sorry to dig up my old thread, but for those who are interested the cause of the problem was found. I took the trans to a reputable trans builder who specializes in building tuff-as-nails 904's. He had it apart in minutes and it was discovered that the output shaft used was a slant-six one and...

Thanks fishy68. The trans had new steel planetaries installed. So I'd say it's unlikely they've failed due to prior wear. I think it's more likely a manufacturing defect or human error in assembly. I am fairly sure the shift kit was a Transgo TF-II as the car it was in before mine was a street...

Thanks man. My convertor was set inside the trans by the trans builder and held in with a piece of aluminium flat bar. I simply removed the flat bar and installed the trans/torque converter to the motor/flexplate. i used all new bolts etc. nothing was snagging or rubbing anywhere. I never...

Hey guys. I will get the video up in the next week or so. as I'm going away to australia's biggest mopar show. "Chryslers on the Murray" this weekend (without my car unfortunately). I had the car in park when I ran the cam in. from memory. with the wheels jacked up the parking pawl seems to be...

Thanks fishy68. The noise is not coming from the rear differential. It sounds like it's coming from the rear half of the transmission. I have had the rear on stands and the rear diff is behaving normally. The whirring sound when being towed is less noisy than when the engine is running. When...

Thanks guys. I think one of these days I'd love to learn to built my own torqueflite. I am going to put the standard 40+ year old trans and converter in the car just to run the motor in gently Then once it's gotten a few hundred km on it, I'll take the car and and broken trans to the trans...

the sound is similar to this. Torqueflite whine (in N) - YouTube

Hi RedFish. It's not the torque converter bolts as the engine was spinning over freely when breaking-in the camshaft. also when towing or pushing the car either backwards or forwards, with engine turned off the whirring noise is there. The torque converter, trans and starter are all from the...

Thanks Badart. yeah, I'm not too sure why he modified the valvebody, he seemed to think he would be able to get it to shift a little "nicer" but said he wasn't 100% happy with it. It was the transgo one. TF2 I think. which ever one is the semi manual one. It was in the transmission when I...

Hi guys. I'm an aussie, I've just fitted a brand new 318 engine to my 1967 valiant with a rebuilt 904 behind it. The trans has been tricked up to take horsepower with new steel planetaries, heavy duty low/reverse band. transgo shift kit and all the other junk I know nothing about. The trans...
