    A and A Transmissions U R out of luck

    Neither A&A or Andrews Racing Transmissions are going out of business. We are just no longer offering A&A Transmission parts after 25 years of doing so. Simply a business decision. :)

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    The cost to build the 46RH/RE for more horsepower is significantly more. The upgrades are basically the same as the 727. The disadvantage of the a500 style trans is the lack of upgradeable parts (lockup input shaft namely). So similar to the 904, 500hp would be pushing it for the a500 in my...

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    Yes the second digit is always the load rating from the manufacturer. The 42 is for a 6 cylinder jeep, the 44 came behind a 318.

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    Cope's RE manual shift valve body has 1-4 on the manual valve. There is no solenoid needed for the 3-4 shift as that is done manually on the shifter. The only solenoid that is needed with the CRT valve body is for lockup.

    Non ATF+4 in a A500 trans..?

    Technically, yes it does matter as the manufacturer states that ATF+4 is not backwards compatible. So, you can start off with Dex III and switch to ATF+4, but not the other way around. As mentioned, ATF+4 is a semi-synthetic fluid with anti shudder additives for lockup torque converters. It is...

    727 ID

    The 3 is likely an 8 and it would be 2892090, which is a B&C body, 383 2bbl, from 1969.

    1000hp 727 full manual build

    Shutting the car off at speed isn't necessarily great, either. Do you have needle bearings throughout? With the engine shut off the geartrain is starved for lube oil.

    1000hp 727 full manual build

    There are clean neutral valve bodies available for people who need neutral after the run as to not decelerate down on aluminum rods. Neutralizing an automatic transmission at speed with a stock drum is no bueno as you can explode it out of the transmission.

    NOT MINE: Looking for junkyard front disc brakes? Northern CA.....

    I think it was after '81 on a 998 with the low gear set, but I'm not 100% certain. Yeah it'd be one of those deals to pull the pump and drums out of it to find out. I have several factory publications/technical service bulletins I can look for more info and maybe come up with something..

    NOT MINE: Looking for junkyard front disc brakes? Northern CA.....

    A 998 would be behind a 318. Hard to say for certain if it has the low gear set.

    Yes, they do.

    1000hp 727 full manual build

    I've been talking with miszny on some parts to achieve some better longevity with his 727, and we'll get there at some point if some parts would show up. I've learned quite bit over 25 years on what you can get away with and what you cannot in certain 727 combinations. 727 hard parts are fairly...

    Broken Transmission

    This car was mistreated in 1st gear causing the sprag to roll. It appears the case is also broken, and if not, it will likely need another case anyway as once that inner sprag race is removed you'll probably find it dug into the back of the case as well. Not to mention what you have going on...

    Recommend me a 727 rebuild kit

    No need for kolene steels, in my opinion. I can certainly help you out with what you need.

    Digging for info - front drum explosion on 727s

    The high gear drum did not explode then. The broken extension housing and case were damaged due to the driveshaft coming out.

    Digging for info - front drum explosion on 727s

    Do you know which part failed, or exploded as you say? I absolutely would not shift a 727 with stock drums to almost 8k rpm.

    This is crazy. Elite Motorsports

    Pro Stock uses a 9.5" ring gear, and it ain't crazy if you are Richard Freeman.

    999 clutch pack in a 904' & opinions on fluid

    Not so much with the 42/44 stuff as that will all interchange with each other, although I do believe the 42 may have had 3 pinion planetaries front and rear, so no reason to go from 4 pinion to 3. The 1-3 portion of the 42/44 trans is all very similar to the 999 but the majority of the parts...

    999 clutch pack in a 904' & opinions on fluid

    Modern friction materials can run in any fluid without issue. I would not poor ATF+4 into a 50+ year old transmission that has never been rebuilt. The standard fluid we use is DexIII on a basic, mild street strip build.

    999 clutch pack in a 904' & opinions on fluid

    We offer machined pressure plates to thinner thicknesses, but not stepped. I've removed several broken stepped pressure plates. We offer this mainly for the 727 and RE/RH transmissions when installing more than 6 friction discs. I am more inclined to use a thinner snap ring or machine the...

    999 clutch pack in a 904' & opinions on fluid

    A 999 is a lockup 904 with a rigid wide 2nd gear band, 5 disc high gear drum, lockup pump, and lockup input shaft. So the answer is, no, you cannot put lockup 999 parts in a non lockup 904. You can however put the 2.74 low gear set from a 998/999 into your 904 if you take the front planetary...

    46 re transmission

    Were the overdrive direct clutches replaced? If so, did the thickness of the clutches and steels match what was replaced? Are there enough clutches and steels installed? If the overdrive direct clutch stack is not correct, the transmission will not go into reverse.
