Hello all Just want to complete the loop here. I was able to get everything back together and start driving this past Saturday. I couldn't be happier, so far both my rear main seal and transmission leaks seem to be resolved. The real bonus is that I gained about 15-20 pounds of oil pressure...

Hello and good afternoon all. Thank you very much for the help. As you can see from the picture... well let's just say I found some discrepancies. My eyes are not as good as they used to be, and most of them were not as obvious as this. Some had a single number stamped across both rod and cap...

Regretfully, I did not mark each rod cap. Just put them on the bench in the order they came out. When I replaced the bearings in each, I took one replaced it and put it back. I was really trying to be careful. Obviously, I should have marked them. However, I will now go back and make sure at...

Hello all, I have a 69 Plymouth Fury 3 with a 73 318. I had the engine pulled out to resolve rear main seal leak and decided to replace the rod and main bearings while in there. After getting everything replaced and measured with plasiti gauge I removed everything one more time. Everything...

I feel like this may be the o ring. I had another pump face with o ring, another 904 transmission I pulled the pump off of, and the pump I just pulled out of my transmission. Every o ring was a different size/thickness. I had already ordered one to pick up tomorrow, but feel I am going to go...

Hello and good afternoon. It has been a while, but I finally got my 904 back in the car. Unfortunately, once I added the fluids I had a small drip coming out the front. Even before I started the car. I went ahead and started it anyway but the drip was a slow and constant. Did not seem to mater...

Thanks Big John. I know your right, just did not want to spend the money. but is the right thing to do.

Hello all. Sorry it has been awhile, progress is slow. I think I have a plan to resolve and am looking for some affirmation this is a good approach. I added the requested pics.| I also created a short 5m video on youtube showing all the parts and plan. Though not sure I am allowed to share that...

Hello all, I have some updates. I have removed my transmission and discovered that I have two holes in the pump body casting. I have tried to purchase this pump from local shops, the surrounding area and even the internet and am not able to find it. I am hopeful some one here may be able to...

I really appreciate all the feedback. I am leaning heavily toward repairing it. At a minimum, bushing, seal and maybe the converter. I know without a doubt it is coming from the bell housing at this point. I pulled the pan and added new filter, cleaned everything real good and refilled it...

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. Starting to make sense. I will look into making adjustments to the gear ratios. "waking it up" sounds pretty good to me. The trans showed no sign of slipping until it just "felt" like it went into neutral and never came back. I towed it home and...

I really appreciate all the feedback. It seems there is a real case for saving the 904. I did call my local highly recommended shop about rebuilding the 904 and they said 1500.00. Which is why I felt if I was going spend that kind of money I could get an upgrade for the same price. If I go...

Thank you for the tips for analyzing junk yard candidates. I have no issues with pulling the trans multiple times. I have pretty much resigned myself to that fate and accepted it. It is my understanding that the RH and REs are the same length, so I should only have to adjust my drive shaft...

Hello, My 904 is puking trans fluid out of the front of the bell housing. I am looking to take this opportunity to add overdrive to my 69 Fury. I know i can get at least one 518 from a local yard, and they have a 90 warranty for about 300. They only have the one 518, but lots of newer...

That is so awesome. Thank you very much for the pics. cheers
