    Flex plate bolts witness marks on torque converter

    You've answered your own question. As to the cost, I don't know, you'd have to check with the converter builder. So, with the lack of funds, it would appear that the bushing is the answer you are looking for and will, as you say, get you up and running for the season, and I know all about the...

    Flex plate bolts witness marks on torque converter

    I don't see doing this the hard way Charrlie. Judging from what the converter looks like, it's been used. How hard and for how long I don't want to even guess. However, again if it was me, while having the pilot changed, I'd get the converter shop to rebuild it, be it stock stall, or...

    Flex plate bolts witness marks on torque converter

    Never an issue in the changeover Charrlie. There are two ways it can be done, one of course is machine the old pilot off and weld a new one of the proper size on the old mounting cover, or use the mounting cover of a 67 and up converter. The shop that I worked for had the facilities to make...

    Flex plate bolts witness marks on torque converter

    I did business with SMR in the past. The owner was a drag racer of some note, travelling up and down the East Coast. We sold him performance shafts, drums and other hard core race items for the TF 727 and 904 transmissions that the we made. He knew his stuff. Unless things have completely...

    Identifying my 904

    Many parts manuals will say (A.R.) which means as required.

    Flex plate bolts witness marks on torque converter

    Maybe I'm missing something, but if the pilot of the converter measures 1.55" then it is for the early 62-67, 904 transmission, and I take it that you are going to use the early 904 transmission and converter you now have behind the 340. The 340 will have as mentioned earlier, a larger hole in...

    Torque converter bolts?..

    There are two transmission parts distributors in Portland Oregon. Portland Transmission Warehouse, and Transtar. Both of these outfits SHOULD have the thin head NON hemi converter to flex plate bolts, as they both sell converters. I don't know if you actually have a converter rebuilding...

    Identifying my 904

    My catalog lists a single wire lockup solenoid for a 1987 transmission. As Killer6 says, count the spline teeth on the input shaft.

    Calling 1965 904 Experts

    No difference in the kits. However, if I were you, I'd count the number of friction and steel plates in your transmission before you order a kit. Here is an example of why you should do this>> there could be in the front (high/reverse drum)3-5 frictions and 3-5 steel plates, in the rear drum...

    Since when did fram market trans rebuild kits?

    There is nothing magical about box kits for automatic transmissions. For a stock application in a Mopar, look for either Raybestos or Borg Warner Friction discs. As there are few gasket set manufacturers (despite whatever name is on the packaging) and anything that has a made in the US on it...

    Anyone ever add a drain plug to a torque converter?

    Draining a lockup converter isn't easy as one might think. Flushing a converter was at best SORT OF OK back in the 60's and early 70's when lockup converters didn't exist. Flushing a converter with cold solvent and relatively low pressure doesn't cut it. Yes, it will flush the oil, but that's...

    Trans leak up front

    Trailbeast is right on the money as is RustyRatRod. The converter hub must be as smooth as a crank journal. Any surface wear on it, etc. will cause seal/bushing failure eventually.

    Selecting Torque converter

    If my memory serves me right, the factory converter in my Duster stalled at around 2300/2400. But with that being said, it might be a wise move to contact one of the reputable converter builders and see what they say. Make sure you give them ALL THE CORRECT information on what you've done to...

    Required or . . . Crank/converter bushing

    From 1968 and up, all 904 converters had a pilot (one that goes into the crank) size of 1.810 inches From 1960 to 1967 the converter pilot size is 1.550 inch Now, I may be wrong on this, but I think that the crank for a standard transmission was different from crank for an automatic...

    oh-oh, debris!

    With that amount of debris on the filter, the converter will also be contaminated. AND not matter what anybody tells you, it would need to be taken apart and cleaned. I know your in the Netherlands, but consider getting a rebuilt converter at the same time.

    318 how much stall

    Yes, it is a 27 spline converter. From the factory, they made a high stall converter. Factory stall, 2300/2400 or so. Send you complete specs as to what you've done to the engine, intake manifold, carb size, cam profile, headers or no headers diff ratio, rear tire size and see what one of...

    904 tourqe converter question.

    Used converters are good only for two things, a core, or a door stop. Because they are a sealed unit, there is no way to tell what the internal parts are like. I seen more than my share of "Rattle Can" rebuilt converters. JMHO

    46re rebuild kit

    Go with the best parts you can afford. Getting the cheapest parts can/will lead to trouble. Make sure you get a manual on the transmission, either the ATSG or an ATRA manual. Be very cautious taking the OD section apart. There is a large HD spring compressed under the OD hub that can do you...
