now that you mention it, i believe I purchased the valvebody off of ebay, and it may have come from a '69 Dart. What are the differences in pre and post-70's non-lockup valvebodies?

EUREKA I'VE GOT IT! I decided to pull the governor plug off the end of the 2-3 shift valve, and I found the valve was not moving at all. How can it 2-3 shift without the valve moving!?!?! I was wrong all along~ I thought the plug provided with the shift kit was an extension of the throttle...

Here is the drawing in the instructions for turbo action shift kit #17810 It is pretty obvious the rod goes with the shuttle valve, but the spring that is supposed to be removed and replaced with the plug on the left side is not present on my '73 904. Here is the picture which comes in the...

I found better instructions online for a later model 727/904 kit. The plug in question goes in with whatever valve sits next to the 1-2 and 2-3 shift valves in the valvebody pictured in the instructions, and is not present on my 904 valvebody. If installed in the 2-3 shift valve hole where it...

I am trying to figure out where the plug goes in the valvebody when doing the Turbo Action shift kit #17810. The drawings are crude, and it says remove a spring and replace with the plug. The plug only fits in the hole with the 2-3 shift valve, but the drawing shows it going into the 1-2 shift...

Sorry its been so long, but I finally have an update on the 904 situation. I have the valvebody out on my bench, and I had previously installed a MP shift improver and a Turbo Action Cheetah shift kit #17810. The MP kit says remove the accumulator spring and put a blocker rod in to hold it...

Thanks for the advice, I was going to pull the valvebody anyway to do another air test before I pulled the engine for an in-car trans teardown. Everything on this car is a real pain because its a Slant with headers and they run so close to the trans that the pan is hard to get off and any...

This has been a long time coming, but after many other projects come and gone, I decided I better pull the Scamp back out and fix this old transmission problem. I think I finally found the problem, but I wanted to go over it with people who have much more experience (you guys). So, After...

Im plugged in on the passenger side of trans, second port back, on the accumulator. I'm thinking I could run it again, and pull the lever until PSI is at spec, then lock the lever down, pull the pan and adjust the Throttle PSI stopper screw until it just touches the throttle valve?? With the...

finally got a PSI gauge on my 904, in "D" and 1st gear, with all the wheels off the ground, line pressure was 0-zero. ...??... yes zero. :wack: when it hit second gear line psi jumped to 8 psi. it never hits 3rd, so... .. I pulled the throttle lever all the way open while revved up in second...

I ran a TCI circle-track 700r4 trans behind a GM circle track 350 400hp crate engine with 4:10 gears and a spool, it would stay right below the redline all the way around the dirt track, we ran that setup for 2 full seasons (40 races), fell 10 points short of 1st place in season 2 and never had...

So.., I disconnected the kickdown cable and drove it around, it still shifts the exact same and doesn't ever hit third. I also adjusted the lever to be full back with WOT, and it shifts exactly the same. All the other gears are great, including reverse so I know all the clutches and bands are...

I searched some past articles with "kickdown linkage"... it would appear I have it adjusted backwards... duh :banghead: ... i will have to try it out later when the weather dries up. thanks!

the last 3 numbers of the part number stamped on the outside of the pig (driver side) will be 741 742 or 489. I would go with the 742 unless you got some major torque output

Thanks for the reply. Here is a pic of the kickdown cable I am using: http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/chucker54_2198_28834775 and http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/accamobr.html If it was not a rain storm outside right now I would go out and check it without the linkage hooked up. A spring holds the...

Hi everyone I am new to the forum here. I am having some issues with my transmission on a fresh rebuild. It is a 1973 904, and I added a Turbo Action Cheetah Power shift kit, and it will not shift into 3rd gear. I have had the rpms up to 5000 and speedo says 70 mph, which I know is not...
