Stop in for a cup of coffee

[Icetech]

I am not really trying to be cheap on purpose ...but I am working with stock stuff and my expectations are about stock.

Naw.. i'm cheap i just think that way... growing up super broke makes you always worry bout money it seems... if the trans were good when parked and you aren't gonna be racing hard and ****.. i would do gasket and seals.. my trans sat for 48 years and when i took it apart it looked like it was just parked. Unless water got in it, i would try it

Amazing this thread is still here, it will turn 10 years old this year. I went back and looked on the first page and I am on it.

Amazing how we change in 10 years. The deleted thread that was here before this thread was a trip but now that is all starting to seem like WAYYYYY long time ago.

Can anything ever be simple? A;No (just rhetorical question)

Determined the mini starter quick connection is not changeable. So, tried to find a whole cable set online. No luck on that. Even if I found one with the connector, I don't know if length would be right. Plus, prices on new battery cables are ridiculous. Definitely a yard run if I decide I still need it. Just too much going on right now to do that or would have done that for starter in the first place. Found a used pigtail from a Neon on ebag. Uses a different starter, but best I can tell, same solenoid connector. If weather cooperates, I will bolt it in Sunday and at least see if the big cable is going to reach since it probably is a different position. Plus, I might lose a little if I have to put a new lug on it.

Was that a used starter, i saw the weird connector.. a new mini from rock is $80...

Even if not going 4spd as mentioned, a manual valve body cures the kickdown issues also and makes it much more funner

That is what I ended up using....A Cheata valve body....

Yes Used. Saw those, but wanted the Chrysler one. Supposed to be a much better piece. Japan made, but at least not China... Till I get the used one in and working, I will likely have more cost than a new one. Not sure why I care since I will probably sell the car soon at a big loss. Pretty much how I built the car so far. Why change now? LOL

Someone cooking With Baghar. I'm getting a familiar smell.
Nasty stuff.

 

[lkopaska]

I checked my pile and I have a 3 904 transmissions I can use, which I know are good cores and there wasn't anything wrong with them other than being in parts cars or just not needed.

A 1972 ( I know least about this unit)
1974 out of a valiant I parted and is the numbers matching unit to the engine I am building
or a 1975 out of a running (at the time) 75 dart.

Is there much change over those years and any reason one might be better than another?

@Princess Valiant
I
You should use either the 74 or 75 units , they will have the later planets (steel) and the direct clutch will use more frictions.
All three will work and have part throttle kick down.

@lkopaska stops in from time to time. He built Fred's 904

And he let me watch and told me how to rebuild it.
Did drink all his whiskey when I was there.
