Thanks AJ. My converter has a drain. I just can't get to it because the Magnum Flexplate blocks access.

Is that date from the 0251 number? Date isn't making sense because the dude said he pulled it out of a Cordoba or Magnum. Unless it was a replacement transmission. In that case not sure about which converter is in there. What would low stall be from the factory? Any idea? Thanks

I opened it up yesterday and from what I could see is that it had been rebuilt at some point and the band material looked good as well as all adjustments. What I didn't like is that when the converter is all the way back and you spin it with pressure on the pump, it makes a grinding noise...

Following up....since I had the pan off and the fluid was so cooked, I decided to pull the valve body and do a better inspection. Turns out the front band is toast. No material left on it. Rear band doesn't look much better. Not sure why both were so far out of adjustment. Gotta come out. I...

Jumping/reviving this thread. I picked up what was listed as a 904 transmission. He said it was behind a Magnum or Cordoba. I knew it was a lock-up 998 or 999. Pretty sure it's a 1978 but the 10000 day code comes back as 1963. Would like to know date and which is it? 998 or 999? What does...

Excellent. This sounds do-able. Thanks to all for your suggestions. Much appreciated! Will follow up with results.

Thanks for the watchful eye. Those pics were before I installed the transmission. Converter weights were removed and flex plate installed in the correct orientation. I believe it was backwards in that picture. Been on the road for a couple of years now. All good.

Looks like the starter removal will not help. The problem is that the flex plate blocks the drain plug. See picture. I dont think it's a good idea to drill the flex plate. Would be difficult to find 180 degrees for second hole for balance plus debris. Then there is refilling the converter after...

Genius. I knew I could count on you guys. Thanks Dana67!!!

So I was having some recent shifting issues with my 904 on 5.9 Magnum combo. Occasional 1-2 flare when getting on it and having to back off throttle to get 3rd. Only about 50 miles like this. Normal driving OK. I dropped the pan and had some wear sludge in it. Pulled the filter and the kickdown...

Having the same issue but more of a drip. No puddle. Here's the thing, the trans 904 is now acting when I drive it hard. Having a 1-2 f!are up at times and occasionally have to back off throttle going into 3rd. Shifts OK when I drive it normally. Level is OK. Not sure of mileage but I've put...

Moonbuilt Garage has some pretty good Mopar content. I have been subscribed to his site for a while. Worth checking out. Carry on.

Is that a Ron Jeremy cut?

Very Cool. He always preaches about our cars having the best engineering and being overbuilt in some cases. Not to mention Ma MoPar being on the forefront of innovation. A lot of firsts in the company's history.
