I'll just stand behind this one comment I was a little pissed that someone called me out on your thread sorry about that I build my own 904 for bracket racing. The end result is that I have a sweet-shifting trans. Past that, I had my original cast iron front band relined technically I exchanged it for one already done. Most are super helpful, but I'm not building a monster engine so I kinda think most of the suggestions in the threads I've read on building bulletproof 904's will be totally overkill for my application. Deep aluminum pan with reusable gasket and reusable big brass filter. I asked about the red plates etc mostly to see if people think I needed them.
I'm ok with a little overbuild but too much doesn't make for a good driver. Sonnax makes an intermediate accumulator repair kit you might want to also think about, and both Sonnax and Superior have an upgraded reverse servo piston for you. This was the recommended stall that Crane Cams suggested with the cam in our Slant Six engine. Yes, the transmission is built, it's in, it works great. It will be full of information on clearances etc. Combining a focus on rebuilt transmissions that are of the highest quality and maintaining an unsurpassed level of customer service, Waterloo Transmissions has repeatedly achieved national recognition by winning various prestigious awards normally not related to the automotive industry.
If the front band in your transmission is a flex one, you may have problems getting the cast band, as the band reliners need your core. I used everything else stock. I know they're more expensive and they'll hold more torque but that doesn't make them better for my application. The flex band is still a piece of shit. You want to pm each other nasty messages go right ahead. After finding it had 3 pinion planetary from and rear I pulled the 2. I got a 1960 Valiant with the 904 transmission.
Not being able to see the transmission apart, it's difficult to say what it will need, but you say its bad. You buy the high dollar kit you get the same sealing rings and rubber parts. Google them to get the one nearest you. The pump bushing needs replacing. My Apologies I do know the difference and would never knowingly make the mistake of confusing you , please show us Canadians the same courtesy , nobody wants to be equated with the Yanks eh! This is a street car with a stock console shifter.
I mean, if I need them I need them. This is the manual you're talking about right? Whine could also be a clogged filter , or worn out planet assemblies. I know who you are, you don't have to remind everyone. Any help would be appreciated thanks. Consider getting a complete washer kit, not expensive and might be required.
Understandable, and I'm sorry, I'll stay with my post 8 and that's what I meant to say anyways it was just he'd comment about something I said and I didn't like his Illusions to that and then after he's done saying it here erases that he ever said it so I'm good I'm done I erased everything and again I apologize yes stage 2 shift kit not stage 3 Thank you sir! Many builders I dealt with, would use the high energy A500 frictions for a commercial vehicle or someone who was towing a trailer. You might also think about upgrading to higher capacity drums. Take a photo of the way the springs and rollers are mounted. Also with what you're talking about and no real dragstrip time to talk about the stock rebuild kit with a nice trans go 2 shift kit will make you plenty happy for a long time. At the rear of the trans there is an output shaft ball bearing. I was building for 520hp but you won't be seeing anything near that from a 318 so you can probably get away with just a real good rebuild kit. Sorry for the dirt it's been under my bench for a few years, just like the transmission.
You might want to make sure the pump bushing is Perfect, if not replace it. All your parts would be available at a local Transtar parts warehouse. Obviously I'm replacing the convertor. Even without the crack, if it was my car, the converter would be replaced. Remember you're dealing with a 50 year old unit and parts for it might be year specific. There are several other tricks, but if you get that book by Carl Munroe, it's all in there. I'd have just rebuilt my transmission and enjoyed my car and not dealt with all of this drama.
Again I watched all your videos right up to or you got frustrated and didn't start putting it back together or did you ever make any more videos putting that transmission back together and showing it working?. Again, thank you sir for taking the time to lay all that out. If they're better for a reason and they're not just overkill then tell me why they'll work better for this application. I am doing a 318 swap into my car from a 273. But that experience I did take the 68 apart and it had less clutches and seemed a lot less well for lack of better terms as beefy as the 76 transmission did.
