Well, completed the fluid change, filter and installed new Chrysler pan gasket as suggested. I drain most of torque converter as well ( yes left some old in)...just hedging. Like stated here, given cold slipping, it likely is not long for this world but perhaps I'll get a season or two out of...

Yep RR, that's what I'm concerned about. Agree, overall with SlantDan but was told years ago by a Transmission guy that high mileage trans should not use all new fluid unless they are completely rebuilt. Have always remembered that so in a quandary now. Does not feel right to keep running it...

I have been slowly refurbishing my '66 wagon that spent 25+ yrs in the Texas Desert. One of the items I noticed just moving the car around my larger circular driveway was the transmission was slipping when cold and I could not tell about upshifts as I did not have enough driveway to find out...

Thought I'd add this thread as I had to scrounge several together to do mine. 1) Very helpful to use a Yoke Holder tool. I used a "universal" one I found on Ebay for $19 so could not beat it. saved a lot of cursing especially if you do not have a lift and the axle is still in the car...

I'm pretty sure the pinion nut comes off in normal direction. But after cranking on it with a pry bar for an hour I want to make sure they are not reverse threads? Can someone confirm before I break out the impact wrench? Thanks

True, not a Mopar unit, but the 8.8 has a pretty good reputation as a strong unit with a heck of a lot aftermarket options too.

This is for the /6 wagon, would be just poking around town, car shows, etc, no hot rodding...the 68 is for that. 8)

Thanks for the replies. I know I'll end up rebuilding the whole unit, just got to find the time. Is the slipping more a result of the clutches or line pressure? It seems to shift ok.

I'm contemplating rebuilding my 904 from my '66 as well. I've never rebuilt a trans before but have done about everything else on a car. The trans "slips" significantly now and seems to function best in low or reverse (gearing helps obviously). Any suggestion on a good step by step source...

Run 3.91s in my 383 dart - good street/strip combo. But 3.73s probably would have been more drivable but I just couldn't do it as that was never an available gear for my '68...comes down to personal choice. BTW, 3.23s in the slant six wagon:-D
