...shift sooner. This is probably why the GNs and SS cars had the cut down version of governor weights as these cars also had lower gears. My 2004R shifts pretty good right now but once I install the lower gears the standard Olds governor will make the tranny shift too early. As you can see I...

Here's another item you might consider replacing BEFORE you install a 2004R into your Mopar. Along with the better governor you'll also need to replace the speedometer (trans) drive gears. There are two of them and the colors and number of teeth can be found all over the internet. One is called...

I really appreciate the information. I looked very hard all over the 2004R tranny housing and could find a place to attach the rod end you see in the pics. I wanted to do it like the factory but the 2004R is so fat in the area of the torque shaft that there is no way the shaft can be any longer...

I finally received the speedo cable extension. I don't know if everyone remembers but the 2004r speedo connection is further back than the 904 so the stock Mopar speedo cable won't reach. But luckily the size and thread of most speedo cables are the same so the GM speedo cable extension will...

...was the input shaft. The early 27 spline was problematic. When they changed the shaft to a 30 spline unit the problem seemed to go away. The 2004R has always had the 27 spline input shaft and because they were never put into any HP vehicles, they seemed to be trouble free. By the way, we...

...ever fails. The reverse switch worked exactly like "Redfish" predicted and is easy to figure out once you have it in your hands. Now that I have all these switches hooked-up and working I won't have to worry about them when I install the 2004r in my Cuda. Enjoy the pics!!! treblig in tex

...interior, custom arm rest, HD rear end, adj UCAs, sealed all the water leaks, shoulder seat belts front and rear, humungous tires in the rear, 2004R overdrive trans, 3:90 gears, 150 speedo, trans temp gauge and on and on. It's getting very close to the picture in my head...kind of a gasser...

You're correct on all counts but I had initially driven out there (45 minutes away) to pick up a 2004R that I wanted for a spare and just happened to notice that the guy had the Mopar tranny. I have no need for it as I have two 904s sitting in my garage. But I also know that BB 727 a harder to...

...according to this web site I guess I was wrong. Check it out: http://www.hotrodhotline.com/md/html/drive_shaft_harmonics.php It opened my eyes. Opinions would be greatly appreciated HINT:RRR. I'll be putting that 2004R into my Cuda soon and everything's gotta be correct...

I'm disassembling my console shifter mechanism on my 69 cuda. I need to install a neutral safety switch on the shifter because I'm putting a GM 2004r tranny in the car and won't be able to use the original 904 tranny switch. When I took the console apart I found that the shifter has these two...

...heads to install some 302 casting heads and also install mag truck manifold on passenger's side with 340 manifold on driver's side. I really didn't notice very much difference in performance. So now I'm going to install a 2004R with 4:10 gears...that should wake it up!!:burnout: Treblig

Thanks MoparToYa, You inspired me to try this swap. I read all you're 2004r Update posts and used much of the info you provided. All I'm doing is trying to put in as much detail as possible so others won't have to wonder exactly how it goes. My plan is to try and use the original shifter...

...to hold up under heavy duty use. NOT A RACE TRANSMISSION, just a healthy street tranny that can handle more torque and HP than a standard 2004R. I told the trans mechanic that I want the trans to shift firm NOT HARD. I still haven't had the chance to install the trans even though I have...

...set of heads that flow like crazy if I'm not planning on using the higher RPM ranges?? Seems like a waste of money. Like I said earlier...with my present 3.73 gears/tires and the 2004R at 5500 RPM my car would be doing 189 MPH so I have no need for high RPMs. Thanks for all the help...

Hey Mopar to ya!!! You weren't kidding about how nice the 2004R functions and drives. It's like gliding on ice (in a good way!!). It shifts really smooth normally, but when I stomp on it the shifts hit a little harder...just perfect. I haven't had a chance to put in my new gears. I have...

One important item I forgot about. If anyone does decide to go with a 2004R tranny take your time and find one with the best TAG. A few days ago I posted the TAG codes on this thread. If you happen to find a tranny with the "good" TAG you're a step ahead of everyone else because the KZF...

Ouch!! I dont like the sounds of that.. That isnt in the cards for me right now, but it does intrigue me. Perhaps in the future. Im open to suggestions on tire size. I actually had the plugs out this past weekend and they appear to be burning very well, and had good color to them. My timing...

...I also buy the silicone tubing it's about 1/16" thick, I use it for my starter cables as they run close to my exhaust after I installed the 2004R trans and 340 manifold. You can't see the starter cable in the pics but you can see that the small starter came pretty close to my exhaust, it...

...modified in advance. If you look at the carb you'll see the silver metal bracket that I bought that adapts the Edelbrock carb linkage to accept 2004R TV cable. You can make this piece at home but it's so cheap it's worth buying one. Anyway it came out pretty nice but I ran out of space for...

...to the rear seat bolts and supports the rear head rest, shoulder harnesses and the amp/speakers etc. I'm currently working on building a 2004R transmission. I already have the TCI adapter and everything else ready to bolt together. I have a set of 4.10 gears to install after I put the...

...put the old shifter in a box in the basement. It will be scared in there, sell it to me so I can modify it to shift down into low gear on my 2004R. I would hate to have my car not running while I remove mine and modify it so I'm probably going to buy a shifter, modify it then swap them out...

Thanks! Exactly the info I was looking for!

...like I normally would. Once all the plates were welded in place the cross member had enough bracing to start cutting out the section to make room for the 2004R. I'm maxed on the number of pics I can post so I'll make another post later showing the rest of the work I accomplished today. treblig

Well... got the engine in, no transmission currently bolted to it as the adapter plate I bought for the 2004R, in combination with the actual mounting surface of the transmission, hits the firewall. The engine fits VERY tight. I blame Tincup's pictures for somehow making me think that I would...

...114 cam, MP .525" springs, stock rockers Edelbrock Airgap intake QFT 650 DP carb 1 5/8" block hugger headers MSD ignition Auto trans (2004r, but 1-2-3 gear is very close to a low ratio 904) 3600 stall (9.5") 3:73 gear 26" tire Very basic, and not optimum IMO, so there is still room to...

...the shifter and the tranny. With that small piece of info it greatly increases the possibility that I can use the stock shifter with the 2004R tranny. This was/is the ORIGINAL question that started this thread by TROGDOOR many weeks ago. I had worried that when I cut off the torque shaft...

...shops. I decided to go with TransPartsWarehouse. I had bought many trans parts from this place in the past and after talking to Mike about my 2004R I found out that this place is the cat's MEOW!!! They have a Half Million dollar Dyno (for lack of a better word) that they test their trannys...

Sounds like B&M Trick Shift. X2 for synthetics. I ran ATF+4 in my 904, and now run Dex VI in my 2004r.

...shaft that goes from the console to the transmission). My plan was to mount a rod end high enough under the car to not interfere with the 2004R (which is wider than my 904). I'm removing the shifter to install a neutral safety switch (see pics). The pics show where I plan to put the push...

I have an extra set of Jeep SRT8 manifolds if you are interested. Shoot me a PM.
