Mopar TF904 HELP

[predator1082]

Thank for the tip. I decided to use the money to do a manual swap. Found an A-833 OD unit for a couple hundred on CL that I'm gonna clean up and swap in.



So I will now be bugging the manual guys trying to figure out how to get that accomplished.

Any one know if there is any value to a 904 core? Not being a 727 I figure it's pretty much a boat anchor at this point.

Since that is a factory OD trans, you might want to have it checked out by a local shop, unless you were able to drive it prior to purchase. The aluminum cases on those were notorious for wallowed out counter shaft bores. They can be sleeves and rebuilt if it is, but it adds cost to the conversion. Also, since those OD cases only came in A and F body cars, are you sure its long enough for use in your Challenger? Chrysler typically had two lengths in manual transmissions; short for A and F bodies and long for B and E bodies.

To swap you will need the clutch/brake pedal assy, all the linkages, shifter and rods, trans tunnel and carpet along with a few wiring tid bits, if you want to keep it factory looking, as well as all the clutch parts. I use Brewers Performance for these parts on my cars. Typical auto-manual conversion runs about $3500 for everything, but if you found a trans and bell for a few hundred, you can knock a grand and a half off that total.

Value of the core... not much, even if it was a 727. Chrysler made millions of those two transmissions. The 904s use less power to spin and can be built to hold up to high power. 727 are simple brutes that will stand up to huge abuse.
