Can't Believe No One Tried to Answer My Question

[gdennis400]

I posed a question last week about using a 5.0KD lever in a 904 Torqueflight. Not 1 response, guess I will have to find it on my own???

I'll reply...
I don't know.... I would find a 904 KD lever, and use it...

I'm not a trans guy & I dont know what your orginal question was. All I can share is that I have the 5.0 lever in my 904 (1969 version) Its a drag only car. I ordered my tranny parts from Mancini Racing & they guy there told me the 5.0 was better for my application. With the Cheeta full forward manual VB. If you have a street car then I would assume the 4.0 would be best. Hope that helped. Yes it works well in my application.

Sorry gdennis440 from Warren MI,

Sorry bout that.

Sometimes a thread can get "buried" on here, especially on a busy day. Just "bump" it, if it happens again.

Welcome, and good luck on your solution...

If you do use it think about using a thicker strut strap, that 5.0 lever has a lot more leverage and I've seen the strut bend.

I dont care for the 5.0 and on my street/strip car I use the 4.2 and it shifts great. Alot of people say the 5.0 is not really needed and will really bang on the shift. All I can tell you is I like the 4.2 and most of everyone I know does not use the 5.0. Ron

What if it's installed with a shift kit?

Yes it can bang out the shifts. I have one installed in my 77 Doba 400/727 w/ a B&M shift kit. Driving it on the street is not bad, at least in a heavy car it's not bad.

If you don't have anything useful to add to the thread.....

What was the original question? What is the intended usage of the trans? Do you need a 5.0 in most applications? No. Can you use it? Yes. A stock 904 with a 4 or 5 clutch high drum will take a fair amount of power when coupled with a good valve body. Sometimes the converter will crack at pump drive. There is a cure for that as well.

Thanks... The car will mostly be driven on weekends, street and hwy. driven. And there have been no previous mods to the trans.
