Ok, I think I finally figured it out. After looking at the gasket, not the filter. The gasket with the part number ending in 8 is for a TF8 aka A727 and the one ending in 6 is for a TF6 aka A904. So it's just listed incorrectly (everywhere), since the A727 was never available in the early A-body.

I got the V8 filter today (bottom). I'd say they are pretty much the same size, thickness etc despite having different part numbers printed on them. The V8 one seems to be made from a different material though. It's not as fuzzy and the color is slightly different, but my guess is that there...

In the interest of fixing everything else I noticed that there are two trans filters with different part numbers for 1965. There's one for V8 and one for slant 6, but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I had a slant 6 one laying around, but ended up ordering a V8 one just in case. Once I...

Yeah, knowing where the massive leak is coming from and that it wasn't my fault is definitely helping. He technically didn't "send the car out like that", because he only rebuilt it and I picked it up and installed it.

Here you can clearly see why you can't use the later style gasket on an early A904. There was absolutely nothing stopping the fluid coming out of this hole. I had told the guy numerous times that it was an early, cable shifted A904 and that they are different from the later ones. He even claimed...

Finally pulled off the extension housing and it turns out the guy who rebuilt the transmission used the wrong gasket and some household silicone?! What an idiot. At least now I'm pretty confident that the new (and correct) gasket will fix the horrible leak.

I cleaned everything and the place where it starts seeping out is the bottom of the extension housing gasket. I used my cheapo borescope to check all around and that was the only place where it came out. And it's not just a little, it's like a quart when the car sits for a few days. The housing...

Good point.

I'm pretty sure I located the leak in between the extension housing and the transmission case. I started taking apart the slant 6 transmission that I still have laying around and noticed that I should be able to get the extension housing off even with the engine and transmission in the car. I...

Thank you, @12many! This makes a lot more sense than what I've read so far - including the Lokar instructions. They should just print yours word for word. Gonna go measure and drill now.

I have a Lokar kickdown cable in my '65 Barracuda, 318 w/ Edelbrock 1406 carb, cable shifted A904. It's never been adjusted correctly, I used to just leave a bit loose/ longer at the carb side, so it would shift when I wanted it to. Now I want to fix that and I read somewhere here that I might...

So I went into the garage, took apart and inspected the nasty, grimy slant 6 A904 of the same year that was in the car before. My initial question is answered - there is no bolt that could be tightened. Appears to be somewhat of a design flaw. Below you can see where it is seeping out on the...

I cleaned up everything and it's definitely coming out of the bottom right of the extension housing (see image below). The question is whether there is a extension housing bolt behind the parking lock cable housing that can not be accessed from the outside?

I have a pretty bad transmission fluid leak in my '65 Barracuda with a small block and the correct 1965 cable shifted A904. I'm pretty sure later years are different and probably easier to fix. The transmission was fully rebuilt last year with all new gaskets (by someone else). I started the...

You're welcome - by the way I think your spring is fine. That's just what they look like

I took some photos before I took it out of the (very gross) slant transmission to put it in the V8 one. I hope this helps.

Ok, so I got the housing and spring etc installed. Ran into the next issue: the V8 transmission didn't come with a dipstick, the slant 6 dipstick is too long for the V8 tube and the slant 6 tube doesn't fit with the exhaust manifold. I ordered a small block dipstick off ebay, but it arrived and...

Well, it just took quite a bit of prying, but it eventually came off. Then I spent way too much time cleaning this thing, but it was just too gross.

I had a '65 cable shifted V8 A904 rebuilt for my '65 Barracuda, but it was missing the park lock cable housing. So I was planning on using the one from the '65 cable shifted slant 6 A904 that was in the car. I had no issues getting the cable out per instructions from the FSM, but housing/ cover...

Do you have a part number? I'm having a hard time figuring out where to find one and one that's also in stock. And many that are listed are for 727s and not the 904. I guess the specs to look for are: 11" converter diameter. Non Lock-Up converter type. Thick mounting. 27 splines. Is that...

I'm about to put a '69 318 in my '65 Barracuda. I'm having a 1965 V8 A904 rebuilt with a later, larger input shaft. The car has a sure grip 7-1/4" rear with 2.76 gears (I think). It's my daily driver and I won't be racing it, so what's a good torque converter? I'm really just looking for best...

I have the same problem... I'm guessing it might be a bad differential, but I don't know for sure.
