Yikes - that's about as bad as the SB that Bob Lambeck "built" for me some years back.
A laundry list so bad, it's like somebody had no idea what he was doing.
Or just didn't care.

I'd put a babbit bushing in that pump...aftermarket converter hubs are soft to absorb shock, not hardened like stock. That bronze WILL wear the converter hub prematurely

Funny, that is what he told me. And of course, I believed him. He mentioned something about the good Lord watching out for fools, not sure if he meant me, tho. LOL. Jim.

Spoke to PTC , by luck .. Copes po# was on shipping label


convertor wanted / needed , was not what he ordered, they might provide the document but, he has to ask Kenny if its ok to send



So, another mistake that now has me awful sad about the whole thing

Anyway, he had 1 very young employee working in the shop - not sure if the young guy is doing the full builds or not. I hope my new trans works good - it looks like it was done right. I should be testing it here in the next week or two. My previous 727 build from CRT is still going strong in my 340 dart 20 years later.


I'm happy to report that the 727 I picked up from CRT in January is functioning and shifting good. (727 with billet front drum, reverse manual valve body and other "race" stuff)

I hope you get your 904 back together and rocking and rolling soon, BigDad

well, the beat goes on ...

They tore it apart ,and well .. its all messed up again, my guy called Cope , guess they have determined the pump pressure is incorrect and its need another re-build and more parts are ordered and maybe it will be working next week ..
