X2, Stall refering to the stator stopping at max torque multiplication.

Reverse work? Even if the rear band is broke you should still have low gear.If the rear clutch is bad second wont work either. Maybe check your linkage adjustment.

A&A transmission have been real great to work with for me. aandatrans.com I have thier parts in my 904 including manual valve body and it has worked great for 6 years. Pulled it down for freshening and everything inside was great. If you pull that trans out for repairs, make sure the clutch...

I like the red bands/clutches myself, but I switched from dexron III fluid to atf +3 in my 904, it would slip on the 1-2 shift. Went back to regular dex III and it shifted fine. I have no explanation for this. Is that front band adjusted? Also, you might have a shift overlap issue, It's kinda...

I have had real good luck with the A&A valve body in mine.

How's the fluid look? Checking it in neutral, right? How is the shift from 1-2?

Thanks, thats what I was wondering.

I have the 8-3/4 sure grip, dana powr-lok style. It has 2 thick & 1 thin clutch plate per side. The rebuild kit only comes with thick clutch plates, and says to re-use the thin plates. My thin plates have the ears broken off them. So, what happens if I use all thick plates in this type of...

Almost sounds like a vacuum leak or maybe you need to have the valves adjusted. Even with a fresh engine, it's a good idea to adjust the valves after initial run in.

That's a model 20 AMC rear. How it wound up in a Dart is a whole other question!

thats an open carrier.

Great photos and info! Thanks!

Thanks guys. The yoke I have is a mopar performance, NOS.

were there 2 sizes? I have a 7290 26 spline that is new and it is too big too engage the splines on my 904, which is out of a 73 coronet/318. I think the 727 had 29 splines if I remember correctly. Maybe someone can clear this up.

With 1000 ft lbs you may not need a 3 speed. The "powerglides" that most Super Series racers use today are all aftermarket parts and can take the kind of power you will be making. I am not suggesting you use one, but the 2 speed is an option and would be cheaper to to buy than a t/flite for high...

How about 4.30's? My bracket 318 which I drove to the strip struggled even with 4.30's. 60' times were in the 1.90's. Don't take me wrong, I love that 318, it just needs all the help you can give it on the low end. If you are going to race the car, consider 4.88's. Seriously.

Ratech p/n 10007, there is one on ebay right now for $26 free shipping.

I found a pinion depth tool made by Ratech for 8-3/4's. It was cheap and easy to use. I actually found it on ebay and I think it was only like $27.00 or something. It made pinion depth guessing a thing of the past.

going from 4.30 to 3.90 with an engine change for more trap speed.

Moser makes a fabbed 8.75 housing, at least they are supporting the 8-3/4 rear. No one else offers a housing for the 8-3/4.

I have not done it, but researched it a little. Ford explorer 8.8 is offset. I believe the pass side is longer. From what I have heard, cut the pass side to the same length as the drivers side, and get another drivers side axle. Of course, the spring pads need to be welded in the right place for...

I bought a brand new clutch type sure grip in ebay for $330.00. I know that is still more than a spool, but on the street a spool will be hard on tires and axles. It will work though, as I know many people that run them on the street. As far as the 4.56 gears for a 741, I don't think any one...

I had a 518 do the same thing, the selector lever e clip slipped and it moved up like guitar says. You"ll see it with the pan off. By the way, how does she run? I am real curious since my next combo will be very similar.

Sometimes you can cheat. I know on ford 8.8 and dana 35 & 44 you can measure the turning torque with a beam type torque wrench before you pull the yoke. Then you replace the seal and use and impact, a little at a time, to tighten the yoke nut until the turning torque is the same. Not the "right"...

I have 4.30's currently and with a 27" tire I see 6200@108mph in the quarter.

Thanks, I wasn't sure what they had changed to make +3.

A friend gave me an old case of atf+3 and I wonder how it will work in my 904 with alto red clutches and kolene steels. I have been using dexron/mercon III in it with great results. Okay to change it to atf+3?

You can still buy the mount pretty cheap,(found one for mine for like $10) at parts stores but they are off shore stuff. maybe buy one and reinforce it. haven't broken the one I bought yet.

You betcha! Thanks Jim, I put all new bearings in it and the pinion bearing preload on my old Richmond instruction sheet calls for 15-25 inch pounds on new bearings. Too tight? I have 25 inch pounds right now. Seems a little tight to me, but the Ford 8.8 calls for 16-29 inch pounds on new...

I can't find a torque spec for the pinion yoke nut on a 742 8-3/4. I know it is 5/8-18 thread, so I guessed 150-170 ft lb. Is it more than that? Thanks in advance!
