    Lockup converter question

    Hi Pedro, I am not a tranny guy by any means so I would have you ask Charrlie_S or Trailbeast or any of the other knowledgeable FABO members for their educated opinion. As far as the advantage of having a lockup tranny...when it is in lockup it basically becomes a direct drive (1:1 ratio) and...

    Lockup converter question

    Check out the allpar.com article as it mentions the “shudder” problem and Chrysler’s fix ( different springs) for it. Stay well, Greg

    Length of tranny cooler in a 26"OEM rad and

    Thank you TB for your response. I was just concerned that putting a second object (ext. tranny cooler then condenser) in front of the rad would cause heating problems for rad...original 26" rad A/C car. It was just repaired (minor leak) and runs nice and cool (185F) as always. I may be moving...

    Length of tranny cooler in a 26"OEM rad and

    old kimmer...thank you for your response. .I was asking about the size of the OEM internal tranny coolers (in rad). I have a 26" A/C car rad and wanted to see if anyone knew if OEM internal tranny coolers were different lengths according to rad size or that didn’t matter…it would seem to me...

    Length of tranny cooler in a 26"OEM rad and

    where to put an external tranny cooler if you have an A/C condenser in front of the rad already? For non A/C cars,wouldn't putting a external cooler in front of the rad block air flow to the rad? Just wondering if OEM internal tranny coolers were all the same length or was length dictated by rad...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    TrailBeast...thanks for putting this whole deal in perspective...I would think that it probably has Dexron in there now. I drove it 700 miles to get it home and so far no (fingers crossed) tranny problems. As far as using Type F, do you feel that it would put more wear and tear on the internals...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    TrailBeast....thanks for the 904 filter info...now not to open a can of worms, but I was reading about Chrysler ATF fluid and the article said to only use their fluid if you have a lockup TC because their particular formulation is specific to their lockup TC's. I couldn't find a date on the...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    Thanks TrailBeast for the tranny info...While I am at the dealer for the pan gasket, I might as well get a filter there too. I am assuming he will know if I am asking for a 46RE pan gasket, he will also know which filter I need. When you mentioned that this pan gasket should be in stock, it...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    Thanks fishy68 and TrailBeast for the ins and outs of a 904, tranny fluid compatibility, how my morning startup will now be and staying with the 46RE pan gasket....is a 46RE pan gasket all I need to say to the Mopar parts guy? Are they usually in stock or a special order? Also, is the fact that...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    fishy68 and TrailBeast...I talked to the local NAPA guy today about DEX II and he said that he stocks DEX III as a replacement for DEX II...his tranny guy has always said to move up 1 level only ,never 2 levels...meaning if you have DEX 2 in there, then you can go to DEX III...NOW not knowing if...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    fishy68 and TrailBeast, Just a footnote.....I just did a search for dexron II and found Dex III, IV and such, but No Dex II...I assume we don't want to go synthetic..right? Would NAPA have Dex II? Thanks, Greg

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    fishy68 and TrailBeast....Thanks TrailBeast for the tranny fluid type info (is Dexron II only made by one particular company or does everyone make it and put their name on it?) and cool tips on how to make a drain for the tranny pan...definitely a lot cleaner and easier. I had the car up on the...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    fishy68...Thanks for the info...Do you have a picture of where the 904 torque converter access plate would be if I had a TC with a drain plug? If I don't have one, then I guess this would be the next best way of draining everything. Also, if I use the Dexron tranny fluid, is that just Dexron or...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    fishy68 and TrailBeast, Funny we were just discussing 904 TC drain plugs and I found this info on the web for those who don't have a drain plug on their 904 and 727 TC's to be able to change out the fluid in a "interesting" way. Do you think this is a viable/safe way of doing it? Food for...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    Thanks TrailBeast....ok so it takes 11 qts. to refill everything...how many qts. if I don't drain TC (just wondering), but I probably will do it not knowing when it was done last...maybe a stupid question but is the fluid for the TC the same as the tranny fluid and if so, do you refill the TC...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    fishy68...when you mentioned if the shift kit was installed a long time ago, I neglected to include in previous post that the shift kit was installed in 2009. I would like to think tranny was serviced while it was open to install shift kit, certainly the fluid if not the filter also...Do you...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    Thanks fishy68 for the info and pics, I really appreciate your help. I just got under the car, felt the outline of the pan and it looks to be a 904. Also the PO installed a mild shift kit and it seems to work fine. What's involved in adjusting the bands and are there any qwerky things about a...

    Slight speedo cable leak...and other questions

    Hi All, I have a 1973 Dart Swinger, it was originally a /6 car. It looks to have the original auto tranny and has a slight leak from where the speedo cable goes into the tranny. What is involved in getting this leak fixed and while I'm in there, are there any other seals or whatever to replace...
