You do not need to change the housing. Just buy that carrier and install any gear larger then 2.71:1 you want, if your 8.25 is the older produced between 72-96 with 27 spline axles :)

Thanks for the support j par :) I can only dream of having everything you Americans have outside your door. If you are interested in restoring older cars in Sweden you really need to love it since it will cost you a lot. Would love not to pay the shipping from USA which usually is between...

Thanks bluNblu this is why I asked for guidance, would never think of the hub centering the drum. Just need to leave the thickness of the drum on the hub when turning down the other part of the hub. The task getting clearer and clearer. When I measured my 7 1/4 I had about 2" between the wheel...

Thanks for the comments on the subject. Will check Dr Diff but I guess that option is to expensive. I took the drum of today and it is alot of material between the studs. To me it looks like a done deal to drill new holes between the old holes. Just need to find a machinist to do this since my...

In a package deal I got a Volare 8 1/4 rear with a cone diff and 3.21 ratio that I want to put on my Valiant. I know the the Volare rear end is wider and that the spring perch location is different. But the problem I have is that I want to run my 5.5" SBP steel rims. So I want to redrill the...

What I did was jacking the rear up and put transmission in neutral. This procedure is for only adjusting the front band. First loosen the lock nut, then you just turn the adjuster screw in and at the same time turn the driveshaft at both direction with the other hand. You need to turn the...

It's holding up fine :)

I did not long time ago, not very hard but it takes time. Would not do it if I had a V8 instead of my Slant 6. Here is a link how I did it: 7 1/4 Rebuild on the cheap

I just rebuilt a 7 1/4, here is a link to how I did it. I have pics so you can see how the carrier and spacers goes together :) 7 1/4 Rebuild on the cheap

Thanks for the compliments and comments :D I like to try to make my own tools before I buy them. I have a bucket full of scrap metal that are often perfect for this kind of tool making. I drive very carefully so I think this axle will hold up fine :) After I testet out which spacer and shim I...

When I bought my Valiant about 2 years ago it had a rear end bearing noise. Since it's my daily driver and I didn't know which bearing it was or how to fix it then I just drove it instead. But recently the sound got louder and shifted in tone and I could hear that it was from the left outer...

Thanks for the responses. I had the same idea but I wanted to hear your opinion first. Since I live in Sweden can cheap parts like spring and roller be a little pricey when I had to pay $41 for shipping for them, $50 total for the set. And when I recived them in that condition I wanted to check...

Here are the parts I recieved last week. I received a new set spring and roller for the sprag but there are surface rust on 5 of the rollers. It doesn't feel good to put rusty parts on a critical area like the sprag. When there are rust on the roller it's possible that it be a weaker spot...

The seller told me that I need a 1.750" core to buy a 1.750" band. And the 1.750" band only fit late model 998s or 999s with the five disc front clutch. So I have no options to choose a wider band if I not choose a 1.610" semi rigid band. But I wanted a rigid band so I'm pleased with what I...

Thank you guys for your input. Another questions, I'm replacing the front band with a redlined rigid 1.350". But after I received the 1.350" band I read the catalog they sent with the band that they offer a 1.750" band. I wanted a 1.750" band, but they never offered the 1.750" band on their...

Is this a good modification to do on the 904? Or should you only do this modification on the 727? It feels like it would work because it's on the oil cooler return passage. Just want to be sure, better safe than sorry.:icon_smi:

Edit: Double post

Fishy68 on my TF-2 instructions is the copyright date 2011. After reading about the 2-3 overlap and how the band and front clutch should disengage simultaneously. So if you have 2-3 overlap issues, install the orifice plug to time the 2-3 overlap event. You can drill the hole larger in the...

According the TF-2 instructions should you only use the orifice plug in the 727. Just a thought.

Thanks fishy68 for the advice and info on removing "the wall". I have already grind down the TV valve so it's too late. If I get a problem with the trans not kickingdown, then I have to look for a replacement TV valve and do as you explain. Here are some pictures of the final...

This is my progress on my shift kit installation. My goal is firmer upshift than stock. So I have only drilled the hole in the separator plate like this: A .110" B .086" C .110" D .125". I thought it is easier to make bigger hole than smaller afterward. In the last picture it shows how to...

Little slow on updating. My trans will only be for street use but I want to rebuild it steady for later engine modifications. Now have my engine only 200HP+. Bought the rebuild kit from ebay plus a kevlar reverse band. Think it was a pretty god deal and good parts. Going to install a Transgo...

That was my first thought but will it hold?

My 1973 318 with A904 transmission converter is missing a teeth and the starter spinning on that spot and making bad sound. In Sweden is a converter pricey but a new ring gear is not. So my plan is to change the ring gear, but I am aware of the difficulties with it. My plan is making some sort...

Received my DVD today, thanks superdart!

I will build a engine with fairly much power so i need a drivetrain that can take it. The tranny is a 904 from 73. I wonder if this rebuild kit is in the right direction? http://viewitem.eim.ebay.se/A904-72up-HP-Rebuild-Kit-High-Peformance-Transmission-Red-Raybestos-Kevlar-904/380579000445/item...
