    Can I narrow A body 8 3/4 housing 3"?

    Thanks for the input, I did order new ends before I posted this. I don't see how anyone would want to use this housing as it is, if it were to remain at the stock length, the tubes would need to be cut down and replaced, so why not shorten it? I'm not concerned about making a few bucks, I will...

    Can I narrow A body 8 3/4 housing 3"?

    I already plan on new axles. A friend knows someone that does this, told me $125, which appears to be significantly less than buying the tools to do it on my own. Thanks for the input. I've scrolled through your build a few times and like what your doing with the Duster. What do you have for...

    Can I narrow A body 8 3/4 housing 3"?

    Hello, I've been working on the rear housing for my Barracuda, got the RMS 4 link tabs welded on, and new spring perches moved inboard. The original perches have a significant amount of deterioration on the axle tube. I can eliminate it if I can shorten the A-body housing 3" (I plan on a mini...

    transmission cooler lines

    I think they are similar. Hose clamps on the hose, so the cooler must have steel with some sort of flare.

    transmission cooler lines

    Hi, So i have this reoccurring problem with the dart every year. The Dart came with a 904 and a transmission cooler. Steel lines from the tranny to rubber lines that ran to the cooler. I have changed transmissions and put a new cooler in. I have the same steel lines from the tranny. Where...

    904 fluid capacity?

    I am not sure about the fluid, but I can tell you that if you put 5 quarts in when you start do not put it in gear and try to move it. I only had about 5 quarts put it in and pulled it outside to break the cam in, and went to back it in the garage again (slightly up hill and a lip at the...

    Charger IRS in a 69 Dart!!...

    i got an '06 and i thought i read somewhere that the gearing is 1:2.76 or something like that. 3rd 4th and 5th have a pretty close ratio, but it will do 70 in 2nd gear ( i think it should be geared down a little)/ But i hadn't spent much time look at the rear suspension of it yet, that would be...

    2000 durango rear in early a-body

    A neighbor got a rear for his 66 Barracuda from a second generation Dakota. I believe it bolted in pretty easily, but he had to get different rims with a much bigger offset to fit. Steve p.s. I bought a complete 8 3/4 with 3.91 suregrip (741) for $600, $200 to ship. Also had new brakes!

    Does Cope Racing Trans stock Transmissions?

    i ordered the 904 Super street. He had a 727 prostreet reverse manual shift on the floor that i didn't want. https://www.coperacingtrans.com/index.php?cPath=21&osCsid=4c0ad62cb7715fa9bd56fbb685a89678

    Does Cope Racing Trans stock Transmissions?

    I ordered one. He did have one that was built that i could have bought, but it was a 727 and i currently have a 904. I didnt want to go through getting a new yoke, shortening my driveshaft and getting another shifter that works with reverse pattern valve bodies. Looking forward to getting it...

    Does Cope Racing Trans stock Transmissions?

    yea, i saw his add on moparts. I assume that hes got some in stock. If we go we will be leaving in 2 hours, and hes not open today. However i did find another guy close to him that has a buisness similar to his and his site advertises that he does have some ready for pickup or to be shipped. So...

    Does Cope Racing Trans stock Transmissions?

    hi, my dart needs a new trans, and i called John friday afternoon and got a shipping price, packaging price and core charge. I told a friend about it and that is in Indiana, and he said lets go get it cause he wants to stop somewhere in Illinois for his garden pulling tractor engine. It will...

    filter to valve body o ring?

    ok, maybe i will call the guy that rebuilt my tranny tommorow and ask him. I'm not sure i would take it back there, but i can check. After he rebuilt my tranny he painted it silver, told me that he always does that to make it look better. When i dropped the pan i found out why it has been...

    filter to valve body o ring?

    Hi, Is there supposed to be an o ring or a gasket between the filter and valve body on a 904? There wasn't one on the screen that i took off (rebuilt by a mecanic), and there isn't one in the new filter kit i got either. I'm assuming that it is submerged enough in oil. Thanks Steve

    adjusting lokar kickdown

    Hi, I put a thread up about 2 monthes ago about my transmission braking in 2nd gear. Called Cope transmissions and he told me to check the adjustment of the lokar kickdown cable. He said he's never liked them. This is the first thing i will check (finally getting around to it). The first...

    904 "braking" in 2nd gear

    i called John Cope today, he gave me some more info on my problem. He didn't think it was a problem with the shift kit installation since i drove the car for 120 miles before i had any problems. Said to drop the pan and check that the screen is clean. Also drive it and see if the "braking"...

    Cope transmissions

    i talked to him today too, gave me some ideas on how to fix my tranny, and if i need a new valve body i'll probably get one from him.

    904 "braking" in 2nd gear

    i havne't talked to the guy that rebuilt it yet,thought maybe i could find some answers here first. He told me I needed a 727 so i thought maybe he would just tell me that again. But i'll give him a call to see what he says. right now its column shifted (will probably be switched in the next...

    904 "braking" in 2nd gear

    thanks for the info, i will see if a neighbor has a pressure guage, and then go from there. i did forget to tell that it has a shift kit in it, transgo tf-1 i believe (its been a while since i've thought about it), and a dynamic 3200 stall converter. the rest of the car is a 70 Swinger...

    904 "braking" in 2nd gear

    Hi, As some of you may remember i had a problem with my 904 last summer due to not putting enough ATF in. I ended up getting the transmission rebuilt and put back in the car. Got about 120 miles on it, and now when the tranny shifts into 2nd gear, it feels like the brakes are put on. It is very...

    reverse doesn't work in 904

    i called ramco to see what they would quote it at, $695. I said thank you and hung up. My neighbor took it to the same guy that built his 7R400 (700R4?, anyway, its a bowtie). Said the guy is usually slow, but he's leaving for vacation when he gets all the tranny's done, he was gonna do a tear...
