Inspection of a 904 torqueflite
Some guy posts something on the internet so it must be correct. NO. You want to know why some things won't work, but the real question is if it ain't broke then why fix it. There are a jillion wrong ways to do things and automatics discussions are filled with them. You think you can put together a killer 904; first time out. I doubt that anyone here believes that. The information you seek is out there; you just have to sort it out from the 90% that is just cut and paste bs. I've been rebuilding these for forty years and I've never read a book or watched a video to figure out how. Forty years and I'm still extremely cautious when it comes to mixing parts. Yes, I built my 904 with a low gearset, but I didn't do any research; I just went thru a lot of parts in my stash until it all fit together. I have also rebuilt ones that came stock with the low gears that needed replacement..The new parts wouldn't fit. The supplier was real apologetic...great. You're not going to find anybody who has all the answers, but you'll find plenty of people who think they do. I know I don't and I know I never will.
