    Easy to replace front seal on 904?

    CURIOUS....if the engine is already away from it and he has access to the entire inside of the bell housing...why does he have to remove the trans?.... everything he needs to get at is already exposed. The ONLY reason I can see that YOU MIGHT want to remove it is when you torque everything...

    how to install torque converter?

    Unless that 318 is making 500+ hp and the tranny you just installed is built out tight....a stock flex will do ya just peachy...they are all over the place and one HELL of alot cheaper than the SFI......... bolts & holes need to be the same or it becomes a sheer point...that plate slips under...

    how to install torque converter?

    flex plate bolts are 5 or 8 pointers? I thought they were 8 point I am not sure there is anything stronger you would want to use? OR you can get your TC tabs drilled & tapped...that only costs about $50...NOT including the labor to pull the tranny.... I am just NOT a fan of having too large...

    Help ..904 has died 4 times !

    it is likely that AAMCO has no idea what to do with an early mopar trans 904 727 or otherwise.......unless they have a really old guy OR a super gear head working there. YOU need to find a guy that KNOWS mopars...and get your car the hell away from those AAMCO guys ...that is just asking for...

    OVEN CLEANER FROM THE DOLLAR STORE......set the trans in the hot sun let it get good & warm.......spray on the cheapo dollar store oven cleaner...( buy a few cans, they'er a dollar!) wait 10 - 15 spray it on again...another 10 - 15, repeat until you see the grease rolling down ( and IT WILL)...

    Surface rust on gears

    Absolutly correct!!!! I have seen oil pans rust from the inside out ( typically on Fords ) on all brands. OIL does not prevent rust unless it is in direct contact... condensation has caused cylinder walls to rust albeit mildy for the first 30 years it does happen. Exposed steel with rust, it...

    Measureing my driveline - Question about the slip yoke

    you cannot run your car with the yoke pushed all the way in!!! shaft needs a lil bit of movement or you could snap off your tail piece..... modify the drive shaft....I did mine, cost me $75...well worth it and far less expensive than a trans my 2 centavos

    Speedometer will only go up to 40mph, and idea how to fix?

    WHAT CHEVY??? I dint see that word in any post above...am I missing something?

    Speedometer will only go up to 40mph, and idea how to fix?

    ALso....if you can screw the treads on it is likely in there far enough to engage and register....if it is showing 40 then it is spinnin.....and unless your needle is bouncing up to 40 then back to zero chances are your connection is OK

    Speedometer will only go up to 40mph, and idea how to fix?

    Speedo's can be fixed but it typically aint cheep and it really needs to be done by a pro. speedo cables are all short behind the IP...very few come out more than an inch or so ( if that) the idea being you undo it from underneath before you remove the IP.....IN assy they are put into the car...

    Which transmission should i use?

    depending on which way you go....why not install a complete mopar automatic console & shifter from a 4/5/6 Barracuda ? it would essentially appear stock, can be used with a reverse valve body or regular valve body. if properly installed can be used with either 904 or 727 and does not look like...

    driveshaft Length HELP ASAP!!

    I am pretty sure you cannot do it like that without the use of CAD....so do it the old fashioned way measure from the rear tip of the tranny to the center of the ujoint...typically the flat that the bolts go into and subtract an inch or even 1.5 inches and you will be OK......
