Inspection of a 904 torqueflite

Now we can look at the forward clutch packs. They are trashed.
I would like an estimate on how long this would have lasted like this.
Since all the seals were leaking. This transmission was run low I’m guessing. How low? I don’t know. Or.....maybe it’s just old and worn out and wasn’t run low.


This one is worn down. Worn is what it should looks like, but this one is gouged out in the lower part of the picture -


This one has a waffle type texture to it. It’s rough in areas where it ate all that up-


Trashed forward friction plate. -


Forward steel. That’s a burn mark on the left. Not one on the right...that’s just glare-


This one sat in the bottom of the stack. I don’t know if it supposed to have that ring or not.-


A clear example of a burn mark on this forward steel-


Here we go......this was the worst friction plate. It’s totally trashed. How long do they last when they get like this.-


This one has no burns in it. Just a wear pattern-


Bottom view of the forward clutch drum. The stack sits down in there. See the matching wear pattern. What causes that?-


Burn mark up in the corner-


These are the copper colored races. This shows the wear pattern and the inner part of the forward drum. I don’t know if any of this needs to be replaced or not. -


Outer part of the forward drum. The band grips this to stop the forward drum and change the gear ratio.....I think -


This is the extent of the war on the forward band. The rest of it is solid-


Another picture of the forward drum where the Clutch packs sit down into.....again...lithe ring pattern-

The rest of the pictures show the bushings and servos of the transmission
