That’s great news. You’re literally living my transmission swap dream. But right now, my install feels like it’s a living nightmare - off to shop tomorrow to pick up, because on Friday I had a leak, took it in, thinking it was gasket and as shop had just fitted it, I was working with no time...

The new trans is in and it’s shifting like it’s brand new!!! Thanks all for all the advice - here’s to a successful journey to MoParty! Very excited and glad this current blip is over! Am smiling from ear to ear!

It was and is - always unsure of these things until you 100%. But have checked now and it looks amazing in there!! HUGE result.

BINGO!!! It’s great inside - photos attached - going to leave it well alone - looks like it was put together yesterday! Next check is the torque converter. Do you think I should try and swish it around with ATF at home today or take to shop and hope (and expect) they’ve a flush machine?

Yep - 100%. Will do that today and just checking that I get this right before going further - done some research and looks like when I pull the pan from the 904 transmission, I should be looking at: Fluid condition - presuming red is good, but brown/black or burnt smell is a bad sign (will this...

I’ll let you know how I get on !!

Yep - no way!!! I’m going to make sure donor is sound!

- will do this, for sure!

I’ve also got the converter from that new transmission - am dumping my existing one - will clean and flush this replacement one out. Car’s still at the shop following the inspection, but there were big pieces of clutch in old trans and I had no third gear.

You’re sharing my inner thoughts!! Am starting to feel much better !

Hey guys, looking for a sanity check on my plan. Spending as little money as possible…. I blew the clutch in my 904 and picked up a used transmission to get me back on the road. It was rebuilt back when it was pulled to go into a ’Cuda, but that project got sold off and the trans has been...

I had Patriot full-length headers (don't buy these!) on my 360 Magnum swap (previously a 318 - but running with LA adapted heads) in my 73 Plymouth Scamp, but they sat too low and eventually pancaked. I bit the bullet and switched to TTI headers - absolute night and day difference. I can’t...

I'm not mechanically gifted as many here. However, I've a 360 magnum. I had some rough idle problems. One of contributors to mine that's not been mentioned here might be the gas pump. I've had the same problem with mine - just adding this to the list in case it's something that's worth taking a...

Hey all, Looking for some help identifying a part on my 1973 Plymouth Scamp. It’s where the HVAC vacuum hoses pass through the firewall (circled in the pic). I’m guessing it’s some kind of vacuum hose grommet, but mine is pretty mashed up (this is an older picture) I’m wondering if a vacuum...

Cheers, Peter, will do!! Thanks, Tom
