I know a guy that can rebuilt it, You! I did it, it ain't that hard, and I'd never been inside an automatic before. Plenty of info on this site on rebuilding a 904,(your 42rh is basically a 904 with and overdrive in the tailshaft). Also lots of guys here smarter than me that are willing to...

I did get it right eventually, works perfect every time now.

Done

I put a 42RH behind my 5.9 magnum. Didn't do a total rebuild, but did put in the Alto red clutches and kolene steels, new front band,and I did the Transgo shift kit, some new gaskets and seals. Running great, shifts nice, I have just the basic magnum build as well, airgap, Edelbrock 1406, stock...

I loosened the locknut, and screwed the piece with the pin forward or backward till the pin just dropped into the hole on the trans lever. Also on the pin going through from the top or bottom, I may have bent the trans lever or shift lever up or down, dont remember, too make clearance. From the...

I put the shifter in 1st, the trans in first, and drop the pin in from the top.

You need one for a 727

Do you know what your measurement is between the hole for the pivot, to the stud for the cable? I shortened mine some, but not enough.

Cool, I didn't notice that.

How do you adjust your throttle pressure with this cable? Doesn't look like there's any adjustment at either end.

That's why I'm trying the other stuff first. Really not looking forward pulling it, getting it on the bench and tearing into it again. And it seems no matter how hard you try, you're still gonna make a huge mess, and probably lose a quart or two of fluid in the process.

Yes, no difference. Tried neutral for about 20 sec, then reverse, same thing, then tried a minute or two, then reverse, no difference. But once the engine was about 1/2 way warmed up (on the gauge), then it just started working fine. And I don't think its shifter adjustment, tried Park to...

No, no parts left over.

Thanks, I'll give that a try tomorrow.

Controlled by a grounding circuit, one switch for o/d and one for lockup. They are always off unless I'm on the highway. And always check them before I start the car.

Will this loosen up a bit as I get some miles on it? Or am I looking at pulling it out and tearing it down again to fix this? And is there a simple fix like a thinner snap ring? And if .036 isn't enough, how much is ?

Pretty sure its full, but probably should take it for a drive to warm it up and recheck it anyway. Has very few miles on it since rebuild, maybe 100 miles. Fluid looks bright red and clean.

I've been working on getting mine adjusted right too. I have an A500 with a Transgo shift kit. I started out with the typical adjustment (full throttle, with the trans arm all the way to the rear), but had the same problem the OP had. Very high 1-2, 2-3 shift points. So I started backing off the...

Had to look back through some old threads but found where I posted this. "Just got the red eagles and kolene steels installed in both drums. Got 5 smooth and 5 steels into the direct drum. Clearance measured under the high part of the wavy snap ring I got .075 On the forward drum, with the new...

Ok, I need to revisit this symptom. Anytime I start the car cold, after its been sitting a day or two I get this symptom. Trying to back out of the garage, it wont move till I give it a bit of gas, then when I let off the gas it stops as if the brake are applied, but they are not. Also noticed...

We need pictures of the pistol grip ! I've thought of doing that to my promatic2

Well I finally had the time to get this thing adjusted again. Don't know how I got it so far off on my last attempt. But think I have it right now. Took it for a long drive with lots of starting, stopping, running through all the gears, including park and reverse, and using the ratchet feature...

Your A500 actually has a .69 overdrive not .79 I just recently did the A500 swap. I,m running 3:23 gears and 225/60/15 rear tires, which are around 25-1/2" tall. Seems to have plenty of low end, with the factory high stall converter that came with the tranny, and the slightly lower first gear...

My Hurst Promatic2 is now hooked up to the 42RH, but was in the car when it had the 904 as well. I have never been able to get this stupid thing adjusted right. I followed the instructions, which is to put the transmission lever in the first gear position, and then put the shifter in first, and...

Sorry for the late reply, been busy with other things. Basically what I did was bolt the transmission up to the engine, then jack the back of the transmission up far enough to bolt the crossmember in place. I originally tacked the mount on kind of at the bottom. Bottom of mount even with the...

Just a little update: Since I got the swap done (basically done) a couple months ago I've hardly had a chance to drive it. Seems its been snowing like every 2 or 3 days for the last two months. Anyway, I'd been having a problem with the lockup, basically not locking up. It worked once, on my...

Finally got that bad boy in. Trying to support the valve body with one hand while reaching back and turning the driveshaft with the other wasn't working. I had to remove the rod from the rooster comb, then was able to get the rod in while rotating the driveshaft. With the valvebody bolted up and...

worst part is I had it in once, thought I was good, put the pan back on, filled it with fluid, fired it up, and it was stuck in park, wouldn't shift. I"ll try it again in the morning, in a position other than park, and wiggle the driveshaft.

Say i'm laying under the car trying to get the valvebody and park rod in. Should I have the rooster comb in a particular position when installing? like park reverse neutral, 2, 1 etc. ?? I've been trying it with it in the Park position, think I'm getting the park rod into the pawl, but as soon...
