Inspection of a 904 torqueflite

On that reverse drum. The machined vs the non machined side. There is onLay .050 difference.

The 904 drum is what I’ll probably use as it’s the same. It has .080 more metal on the machined side than the 999 does. Not much difference for what it is and what it does

I wish I had an over drive transmission lol. I think I’ll stick to this one for now.

I’m looking for a rigid kickdown band. I’ve seen the Kevlar ones but I’ve also seen to stay away from them outside of a performance application.

There are a lot to choose from...
Flex
Relined
Semi rigid
Wide band with single friction
Kevlar

All different prices for both the reverse and kickdown

I saw a very small chip in both so I’m replacing them.
I have heard that Kevlar can shift very aggressively.
For a street car you will probably be fine with just a relined band.
I like solid bands too. But I buy them because they are stronger..
But my application also warrants it. My race carat 600 hp and my diesel truck.
