trans question

Bob pretty well covered it. Torqueflite's are very simple transmissions to rebuild and require very few specialized tools. The clutch pack compressor needed to replace the seals in the front clutch is the only specialized tool. In my early days of rebuilding them I didn't have much for tools so I used 3 sets of c-clamp type vise grips. Not the best way to do it and you have to watch so you don't pinch your fingers if something slips but it worked for me for over 10 yrs. until I built a compressor cage to use with my hydraulic press. I attached a picture of the first home built compressor cage I built to use on 904's. I later made one that's adjustable so I can use it on most any clutch pack but I haven't taken a picture of it yet but the one I posted gives you an idea. Buy yourself a ATSG transmission manual if you don't have a factory service manual. You can find the ATSG manual on E-bay or Amazon for about $15-20. It details step by step rebuilding either a 904 or 727 and is very easy to follow even if you a novice
