So lock up is not good? Can it be changed to non-lock up?

How well do you know these transmissions? I've been doing research these past few hours and there are different versions of the A904. I found the following: 900 Series Torqueflite Info History: The first A-904 automatic transmissions appeared in 1960 with the new "G" and "RG" slant six...

Yeah, I figured that but the dates are so close I thought it might be a factory install from the start. Isn't the VIN on the passenger's side flange? I'll check that too.

Ok, I hear ya'. Think I'm gonna use it behind my motor for now. Any issues I should be aware of if I use it behind my 318 or 340? I've got an A230 I want to swap out with this A904.

Found a A904 transmission in a 1978 Dodge Monaco. I'm trying to understand what I have since looks like something doesn't add up here. The number on the tranny's driver side flange is #4130415 with date code of 6258. The VIN tag on the door says the car was made in 5/78. The engine in the...

Thanks AJ, I've got a column shift from a A Body that I'm going to use. I don't understand your comment on the governor. The transmission has a governor? Also, what's the purpose of the lock-up?

I've got a A904 (ID: PK4412001 8905) from a 86 Chrysler 5th Ave. I want to use in for my 1970 Duster with the original 318. Is this a good version of the A904 or is there a better one to find? Also, is this a A998? I'm not too sure since the manual I have says its a A904. What do I need to...

Treblig I just noticed you are a Corpus boy. So am I. Where do you live? I grew up down there, graduated from Ray HS back in the 80s. My parents live in Calallen now. I was there last week.

Great post! I'm putting a transmission I pulled from a 85 5th Ave into my 70 Duster 318 V-8. What issues do I need to be aware of starting out? Also, I thought this was a A904, now I don't know based on what I'm reading here. Is this really a A998?

Laughed my butt off!!!

My question is more related to how do I add suregrip to the rear end. Is it a bolt in or a swap or what?

Since these 8-3/4 rear ends are either elusive, overpriced or require too much investment to make what I want, I've decided to narrow and upgrade the 9-1/4" I just acquired for my Dart Sport. I need to find out the best way to make a 9-1/4" a suregrip. Anyone have a thread they can refer me to...

'64 New Yorker has the keyed axles. I forgot to mention that. But, if it's 741 carrier (pumpkin) has the sure grip can't I just take that and use it?

Help me out with the pricing: Base B, E or C body rear end (non sure grip) = $250.00 (I found a couple at this price) Dr. Diff 8-3/4" Clutch Type Sure-Grip ("Powr-lok") = $395.00 (out of stock) Dr. Diff Axle Pkg Stock Length Mopar 5 X 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern = $295.00 Narrow rear end = $250-$400...

Forgot to add, that I found a 1960 Desoto Adventurer & a 1964 New Yorker with an 8-3/4" in it. I hear the 64 New Yorker has sure grip factory std. But, I can't get the wheels to turn since it's on the ground. Anything special here?

Typo, thanks. Option #3 is a 1967 New Yorker. I fixed the original post. As far as Option #3 goes, isn't the quality of work just as important to get someone that doesn't hack up the rear end and axles to narrow it? I'm a little in dark on who I would get to do that locally and I assume...

I would like opinions on my best option. I'm going to upgrade my rear end on my A body since I'm installing a big block. I currently have a correct A body length 8-3/4" housing, no carrier or axles. The perches were cut off previously. Option #1: Buy carrier, axels and reweld the perches...

Ok, joining in here. I have a 74 Dart slant 6 904 column shift and changing to a 76 B-body 400 727 column shift. Where can I find a list of the parts I need? And a diagram or picture would be great.

Haha. :wav:
