I'm putting a rear end together 8 3/4 741 case. Are the yokes interchangeable between 741, 742, 489. I know that there are fine and coarse spline pinions and small and large U-joint yokes, but will two yokes of the same spline interchange if the source rear end case is not known. I have a few...

all 1970 Darts with a factory 318 and automatic came with a 904. 5th character in your VIN is a G which confirms that it came as a 318 car.

I know this is basic, but the plate "reprograms" the hydraulics for firmer shifts and less slip. How it does that I have no idea, but I see other differences in the plates. Transgo has been around for a loooong time and is well respected. I installed my first Trans Go kit around 1982...

towing isn't the only time you want to lock out the lock-up. Pulling a sustained grade at certain speeds would lead to the lock-up coming on and off and on repeatedly. The solenoid would prevent thi and there's no reason you couldn't actuate the solenoid with a switch. That's the only way my...

No, not at all...

Please take a look at the stock pan and valve body pictures above...

Does anybody Know how deep that factory pan is? (Mine is hibernating on the other side of the country) That would tell if there is room to extend the filter, or if it is even needed. The filter is right close to the bottom of the stock pan when installed

In an A-body that pan would be a nightmare. The stock pan on my A500 already hangs below everything else and I had to put a 4WD pan skid on it to keep out of trouble. Maybe for a truck with lots of clearance?

Deep 904 pan? bolt pattern on perimeter is the same, correct? If it was originally for an A500 it wouldn't need the spacer to drop the filter down as the filter on an A500 is already down there. doesn't mean it wouldn't fit an A500 - only one way to check...

Sorry Matt, but that just ain't so. On my 42RH that is the stock pan and the specific one shown here is a stock Dorman replacement pan (with the plug relocated). Here's a shot of the stuff hanging out of the bottom of my trans with no pan.

I hope that this helps - I put a 42 RH in my Dart and the trans fit in the stock location, front to back. The interference that I had to deal with was the removal of most of the crossmember hoop around the trans tunnel. It is why the USCT piece is so heavy - to restore the strength of the...

remember that there is more to be done to accommodate a 46RH in an A-body as opposed to a 42RH as far as floor pan mods.

Thanks for all the information! I have about 6000 miles on my RH42 and am still figuring out if I want to do some sort of automatic activation. So far I have gotten pretty good at doing the OD lock out manually and don't often miss doing it as I slow down (usually on an interstate off ramp).

I cannot understand how it is possible for that to work. I'm not saying that it doesn't, I just can't wrap my head around this. Overdrive is actuated by an electric solenoid inside the trans. I have no idea how you could manually shift into overdrive as there is no linkage attached to the OD...

OP - I still don't get how you are shifting into and out of overdrive. I have an RH42 in my 70 Dart and it works great. I went for simplicity and the overdrive and the converter lock up are both on switches on the console. I know there are kits to provide computerized shifting, but it sounds...

Only bother to do this if the result is desirable to you. Chasing money to do anything like this is a losing game. Enjoying your car is always a winner!

BY the way, I should point out that the REALLY HEAVY USCT crossmember is really needed when you go cutting on the crossmember support above the trans as is necessary in this build (A500). If you need details, ask me.

I think I'll stick with this controller:

Matt - I've got 6000 miles on the modified torque shaft for the factory shifter, works slick as can be! Went with manual buttons on the console for the OD and lock-up and it gets more 'automatic' for me all the time. Mike D. from WA

to answer your original question, yes 1 person can do it, but to actually get it right you need two. First put somebody behind the wheel to floor the accelerator and adjust the carb linkage so the blades inside are vertical. Then have the accelerator wide open while you adjust the kickdown at...

There are a number of gear diameters. If you look at the housing the gear goes in, the speedo gear is off set to accommodate different gear sizes. there are numbers around the rim of the housing that correspond with number of teeth on the gear and a nub on the transmission that acts as a...

On a stock pan, it seems that 1/2 inch below pan rail is too low - those stock pans aren't very deep

That's why I went with an A500 based on a 904. The frame mods were no a piece of cake, but there was no floor surgery, there was just a little hammer dimpling and as a result the factory console, bucket seats and such fit just like they were supposed to. If you want to talk about details send...

Here's an A500 on a stand and the surgery needed to the frame member that carries the torsion Bars in the are where it loops up into the transmission hump in the floor. In addition you need a HEAVY transmission cross member (like the USCT one) to replace the lost strength even then.

Great price, but the trans pictured in the ad is NOT an A500 - no overdrive unit in the tailshaft...

post a picture of the cover on the back of the diff to confirm...

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: You replaced the bent vertical shaft somewhere in all this correct?

I have mini starters on 2 904s and never ran into this issue.
