Good to know, thanks!!!

Thanks! Great Info !!!

Initial timing is 2* BTC, so I will say I don't think it has too much timing. Almost all of these types of 3-speed lock ups I've owned have always locked up in 3rd gear around 45 mph. I don't know what anyone else has experienced, maybe they will chime in.

Could a 1982 be a A998 ??

It's in a '82 D150, slant six. Not sure it the truck got a tighter converter, but two things I do not like about the truck lock ups: very unforgiving when going to reverse or drive, idle has to be low or it's more of a "bang" into gear rather than a "shift" into gear Once locked up around 45...

But generalizing the statement, the 904 TC stalls higher than the lock ups.

I'm no transmission expert.... with that said, this is what I "think" I know.... the A999 is like a 904 but has a lockup TC, usually a lower 1st gear ratio, more clutches and stronger bands. However, the 904 usually has a "higher stall" in the converter from the factory. I have found that...

Gonna be a tire frier !!!

Nothing wrong with .75 inch of play. Also, the type of seal on the back of the transmission can sometimes create a false positive stop. If it's a truck and you'll be hauling 2000 pounds of wood on a logging trail, then I'd shoot for a little more play.

Man, that's too bad. I don't think you'll be hurt too bad by the 3.55's for the short term. I know in my only Dealings with Denny's driveshaft, they got me the right U-Joints. Dennys Driveshaft and Driveline Parts home of High Speed High RPM Balanced Steel and Aluminum Drive Shaft Specialist...

...I know my Driveshaft was 1330 on each end, and the yoke i bought was also. But, I used an adapting u-joint in the rear, but cannot find the number. IF I learn more, I let you know. Again, I have some adapting u-joints - by Moog, Spicer, and Neapco I believe. * EDIT - Mine are different size

I have used Moog U-joints and they were correct to size. To tell the truth, I'd have to research to see what you joints I'm even using in what vehicle (I knew at the time of the project. I have some u-joints that cross over but I don't think I had the 7260/7290 before. But I'll do some...

Adam is a good guy!

I like to push the yoke into the transmission and bottom it out. Then pull it back 3/4 inch - 1 inch. Measure center of the yoke eye to the center of the differential yoke eye, that is the length of drive shaft you need. Tell the drive shaft maker how you measured. "Eye center to eye...

Also, very hard to damage a yoke spline, means they are in the I.D.

I can only think there is a burr or "noogie" in one of the splines by the symptoms you described. I would see if the yoke slips on another tail shaft. If so, then the transmission splines are subject.

65-67 B-body rear ends are my favorite for the Duster style cars. I prefer them over the A-body 8.75's.

It was bought new and installed by the vehicles previous owner. I don't think there was a 3,000 miles on it when i bought it. Best way I can describe it is like this: It feels like a worn out transmission that somebody installed a shift kit. When you put it in gear, it won't really go...

To answer your question, yes, the 5.9 will bolt up to a 904. I have a TCI 727 in a vehicle right now, and I don't care so much for it.

Yes, you should grease the zerts. If overfilled, it will come out through the rubber dust cover on one of the 4 caps. You can tell when it's getting close to that. They don't need to be greased very often but they need grease.

I cannot tell from the pictures to be absolute. It's really not a big deal, very easy to just measure your drive shaft u-joint and see.

Also, in case you are unaware, to get the backing plates off the 8.25, you'll need to pop the differential cover off the back and pull the pin to slide the axles out. Easy as pie.

I've done this swap more than once. Just use the backing plates and drums from your 8.25 rear end, leaving all the brakes intact. You can also use the 8.25 shock mounts. I didn't need a new drive shaft, I still had plenty of end play on the slip yoke, but always check. IF your 8 3/4 has the...

well, i figured anyone that comes to a mopar site and says "shall I LS my Duster?" has already made up their mind and they just want a bunch of controversy/bickering about their project. LOL It's America, put a Power Stroke Diesel in it if they want. :D

2.4 V-tech Honda fits nicely in Dusters. As said, your car, your money, you don't need our permission. Do what ya want. Enjoy :)

Factory 904 converters from a "known good" car are next to free. Shipping will be high. I bet you get one shipped to your door for about 75 bucks

factory 904 tc. Many people pay to have the same thing in a "Saturday night special" aftermarket converter.

what years of AMC ?

Both have 3" axle housings, use the same backing plates, drums, same shock mounts, I think you'd be lucky to save 20 lbs, probably less. IF you really want to save weight, go to the 7.25. I just did a weight by weight comparison of the 7.25 vs 8.75 and the weight is pretty substantial...

LOL.. Glad they made it safely !! Thank You
