    Help Identifying Torque Converter

    Unfortun Unfortunately those numbers mean nothing to me, but they probably mean something to whoever built the converter. Perhaps others might be able to help you. I know that I can't say I've ever seen them on a factory core. The converter looks like a nicely done piece, and one would think...

    I have an issue with trans to flex plate

    Good advise. Obviously not all converter builders check the hub runout. Can't blame the transmission builder though, he bought the converter in good faith. It would be interesting to know who the converter builder was.

    Help Identifying Torque Converter

    I don't know if anybody can tell you much about the converter. Almost all converter (performance)builders decal/paint some form of identification on their products. The company I worked for, stenciled the part number on it, put a decal on it, and most importantly, all performance converters...

    Oh no, not another torque converter thread

    The only The only mention I can see for a thinner mounting pad for the 727 is a 77 and up 225/318 application. It seems to me, that I read somewhere that it is possible to install the OEM flex plate backwards. Perhaps Rusty or Kim can help with this.

    904 Tail Shaft Seal Selection?

    If you've heard of Private labeling, so you know where I'm coming from. So if I buy a seal from my local MOPAR dealer, and when I open it, it says national on it, does that mean that it can't be installed in my car I'm restoring? And if I'm rebuilding my transmission I have to purchase...

    904 Tail Shaft Seal Selection?

    I started working in the Transmission parts industry in 1980. We had back then the 727 seals with or without the dust boot. The early 904's were non booted. We were at the time a distributor of Natpro a large transmission parts distibutor and that was our main source of parts. Chrysler part...

    904 Tail Shaft Seal Selection?

    OK, here are your 727 extension housing seals. The most common one>>>2.503" can come with or without the rubber boot. Most transmission shops used the non booted one, and in our Overhaul Gasket and seal kits, the non booted one was put in. Used from 1965-on. However, there are 2 not so...

    904 Tail Shaft Seal Selection?

    Just pull the seal out and measure it. And then as I mentioned, go to your local transmission shop. They should be able to supply it for you.

    904 Tail Shaft Seal Selection?

    My post says. 1966-1972: 2.254" OD. NO dust boot. Our part number was 12925C. That was the number we used out of our transmission parts catalog. I briefly worked for another transmission parts supplier and they used the same number. Was there another number you were looking for?

    904 Tail Shaft Seal Selection?

    OK, here are the extension housing seals and sizes, that were used in 904's>>>1966-1972: 2.254" OD, no dust boot, >> 1973-on: 2.375" OD>>also 1973-on 2.445" OD Hope this helps. Your local transmission shop probably has these in their stock. Just a suggestion. See my post. Always measure...

    904 Zbar bushing?

    Before you go to epay and spend the $$$ they want for them, go to a couple of local transmission shops and see if they might have them. Before I retired, I should have bought a bunch of these and the shift cable end grommets. Great profit margin in them for sure selling them on epay.

    Front seal pouring out.

    Absolutely. When we spend our hard earned $$$$, we shouldn't be seeing that. I don't know what procedure they used, but at ours, after the two halves of the converter were welded together and the converter was still hot and on the welding lathe, a plug was installed in the hub that allowed an...

    Don't care, still a sloppy job done.

    Front seal pouring out.

    Looks like the converter rebuilder never pressure checked the converter for leaks after it was built. Poor workmanship IMHO.

    Will a '73 Continental Mark IV tranny fit into a '74 Swinger with a 318?

    $24000.00 Canadian. I was the first guy there with a grand in my pocket to have him hold it for a week for me, which he did, because I had to go out of town for a business trip. Car had been basically parked since 1980, other than the odd jaunt up and down the road to keep the juices flowing...

    Will a '73 Continental Mark IV tranny fit into a '74 Swinger with a 318?

    My ex boss who was a pretty serious drag racer, asked me one day if I knew anybody who had a 904 with the GM bolt pattern. His son, who was the manager of the parts department thought we were both a little off thinking such a thing even existed. I made a call to a shop and knew if the shop...

    Will a '73 Continental Mark IV tranny fit into a '74 Swinger with a 318?

    Google Fram and look up transmission service kits for a 727 and a 904. That way you'll be able to see the difference. On a bad guess, the 318 engine probably came with the 904. That however is not 100%. If my mechanic didn't know the difference between a Chrysler and Ford transmission, I'd...

    Converter Question

    1970/71 340's with the 727, the Factory converter stalled 2200/2400. The shop I worked at, all 340 converters were core in first.

    Will a '73 Continental Mark IV tranny fit into a '74 Swinger with a 318?

    On Postal vans they used the Iron Horse GM 4 banger and the 904 transmission. Odd I know, but they did/do exist.

    Will a '73 Continental Mark IV tranny fit into a '74 Swinger with a 318?

    A Lincoln Mark V, used the Ford C-6 from 1966-1979, nothing else is listed for it period. If it's a ford transmission, it will have a modulator on it. If your MekaniK is using the paint on it to identify the transmission and engine, I'd find another mechanic. I'm not a Ford Guy, but...

    Help identify this converter

    Maybe its only me, but having seen enough used converters apart, I tend to be on the cautious side. On the BC business, the person you should speak with is Paul.

    Help identify this converter

    My thoughts. First of all, being a used converter you have no idea what condition internally it is in. It might be a gem, or it might be a time bomb waiting to go off. It has rust on the outside, and perhaps at one time may have had water in it. The hub at the least should be polished to...

    Tf727 servo questions

    The SKTFSC is A SHIFT KIT. What do you mean by "if full kit needed with this shift improver? I don't understand the question. If you want firmer, more aggressive shifts then use the Transgo TF-2 shift kit, instead if the SK TFSC kit. 25 cents worth of advise, unless you're a transmission...

    360 Converter Externally Balanced

    At a converter rebuilding facility, the converter is put on a balancer to make sure it meets factory specs. If it doesn't, a weight will be added (as shown in your photo) to have it properly balanced.

    Tf727 servo questions

    The SK TFSC it is a minor kit to improve shifts. It is not a performance kit, and before I took the word from someone who is trying to sell me something, I'd contact Transgos' tech department and see what they think. I had one in my Challenger, and the builder did not change any servos...
