Overdrives based on the 904 are RH43 with the H being Hydraulic controlled governor.


We never used the designation RH46 or RE46 - it was 46RE or 46RH. We went to this designation after program launch - at launch they were called 500's, 518's, 618's.

We never ever offered a 43, only 42 or 44.

The PCM doesn't "shift" the trans - it only controls governor pressure on the RE units - the valve body shifts the trans between gears and in to OD.
On the RH it only controls the OD.

Splitting hairs - not really - any of these transmissions will shift manually in to each gear except OD.
