First of all, thank you for your service. We appreciate you (and everyone else) there serving so that we are allowed to continue living our lives (including playing with our old cars). Re: a trans. Even though some of the suggestions for trans businesses are excellent ones, there's no need to...

If I was in need of one to throw in a car just to get it operational and: -was able to actual drive in the vehicle it was coming out of, -it wasn't leaking anywhere (especially from the front pump area), -it came with the conv & dipstick/tube ... I'd pay $150-$200. If I was looking solely for...

I have the same one and love it. From what I've read, it looks like you are good to go on your trans build.

Your trans and its internals (like every other sub-assembly on your vehicle) should all be built to work together for how the vehicle is going to be driven. Just out of curiosity, what conv do you plan on running?

Was going to ask if your used conv was for an externally balanced setup (w/weights). Just out of curiously, did the conv seat properly?

Abody, your tag line under your pic is frickin' hilarious!

As I was saying before, at least pull the pan and inspect/adjust. If there are bad signs from the git-go, no need wasting time installing it until your comfort level is up there.

You can at least drop the pan and check it for any metal shavings (and check the fluid color clearness/smell). Next would be dropping the valve body so you can inspect it further. If the pan has been cleaned out, I would really think about giving it a complete checkup.

If it ain't broke ... don't fix it. You can always make adjustments (bands, etc.) when it's in the truck if need be. Get it back in and have fun. Nice SC. I use one from Frank as well. The thing is like butter on the street and a monster on the track. Btw: Like the truck a lot.

Yes, clone RR/GTX/RT wagons have become very popular but I just like a good solid, well-running wagon.

Agreed, wagons are great towers. I absolutely miss my '70 Plymouth Suburban 440/727 wagon. I set that thing up as a monster tow vehicle. I would pass all the big *** trucks towing cars over the Grapewine in SoCal all the time. The only downside was that it got 10mpg whether I was towing or...

One of the main reasons for even considering using the 318 & 904 is that I'm trying to downsize the parts I have laying around. Yes, I gave thought to installing a stroked 360 and a 727/518 but since this is the original motor/trans, I would feel obligated to keep/store them and that's what I...

Thnx RRR. This helps with the purchase decision.

Can one consider a 904 as a viable option for occasional towing duties? Here is the scenario. I am thinking of picking up a B-body wagon with a 318/904/8.75. I have plans to rebuild the 318 (stroked to 392 w/a RV cam, etc.) and use the 8.75 (after going through it). I'll deal with...

Yes, in our hobby (with all the setbacks we encounter), no news is good news. Sounds like the trans is healthy.

This is one of those situations where we wants it all (ex. kick *** street/strip performance, highway drivability, etc.) and the rest of us chime in with suggestions but we tend to lean one way or the other (usually not towards the saner side). ;). As I (and others) have always said, cars (and...

I'm all for fixing it properly. If you don't feel like getting back under there, take it to a shop and have them do it.

That's a good suggestion. I've always strapped them from above.

41, what is your Duster's build date and which plant did it come out of?

Are you sure you want 4.56s (and in a 8.25 rearend)? What is your car's main purpose?

What kind of performance upgrades does this video include (if any) or is it basically focus on stock rebuilds?

Are we going to hvae to do another intervention? ;)

If you can find a good Mopar trans builder that builds on the side, it should run about $450-$550 w/new convertor. That's for a nice healthy stock rebuild with a TF-2 kit installed. Anything above $700 is pure RETAIL.

5.57s? Yowsa!!!

LX cars will soon have 8 speed automatics! http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/10/chrysler-plans-eight-speed-automatic-production-in-indiana-w-vi/ Looks like they are sourcing them from the ZF group.

Or else ... see ya sprag.

I would have chimed in earlier but my only recommendations are for two places in NorCal.

Moved to Trans and Drivetrain Tech forum.

I am a big fan of Frank's (Dynamic) convertors.

I used a couple of their converters in customer cars because that is what they wanted and to be honest, I wasn't that impressed. They are entry level converters much like some B&M converters. This is one area many people somewhat skimp on when it should just be considered another part to...
