904 Disassembly Results and Questions
The rear band looked okay, all uniform in color and texture. The washers for the planetaries looked to be worn to me :
The output shaft bearing spun, and spin around too many times. I'll have to get that replaced. I didn't take apart the governer.
Questions :
-Is the wear on those washers for the planetaries normal or not?
-What should I look for when I disassemble the governer?
- What should I look for in the valve body, besides checking for all the check balls?
-I'm going to be installing a shift kit. Should I just go for the TF-2, even if this is a cruiser for a car? I won't be drag racing, maybe a few spirited drives.
-This is the rebuild kit I got. A904 HP Rebuild Kit A998 A999 Master Banner Overhaul Automatic Transmission Dodge Chrysler Jeep
Is this overkill? Or I guess a better question is, should I not use this and opt for more stock parts?
-This is a 1970 trans. I have a 72 slant six 904 that had the partial kickdown valve body. Would that work in this V8 904?
-I have a mild built 360 that I would guess has around 300 HP. I have 3.23 gears and 15" wheels. I have a stock torque converter...should I go for a better one? It's a hydraulic roller (not a retrofit, stock LA roller block.) Here's the cam card :
I think that's all my questions right now. Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure while it's all apart I'm covering all bases. I really appreciate the help!
