2.45 1st gear in A500 OD trans

Can you swap the 904 2.45 1st gear into a A500 transmission??

I did. I put a low compression 360 with a very mild cam in a 95 dakota. It had been a 4cyl. 5 speed. I did not like the rpm drop with the 2.74 low in the a500, so I put a 2.45 out of a 904 in it.

I also took apart an old 904 VB that I had put a B&M Manual Pak in, and used parts from it to make a forward manual VB for the a500. I used a toggle switch to activate the OD.

It was driven a couple years and sold.

There may be reasons that I am unaware of like spline differences that make it wrong, but it worked fine behind the almost stock 360.
