While I hate Atlanta traffic (even up here in the 'burbs), I don't think I would go that far, GJ. wink grin

Like I said, I ain't gettin' any younger and for the time being I still love rowin' a stick. But there may come a day.... wink

Tim.....don't be surprised if you make up new cuss words when you go to put the trans cross member back in the Dak! That was one of the hardest chores I had when I rebuilt Susan's 4 door Dakota! rant

I think after 28 yrs. as a dealer tech, I have mastered and made up all available cuss words. Daughter and SIL were picking at me one day when one slipped out. I told them you definitely don't want to be around me working on a car that is giving me trouble. wink biggrin laugh2
Actually the trans is still in the truck. They just unbolted the engine and slid it out. up

Our crossmember was such a tight fit between the frame rails....I think I could have left the bolts out, lol. After I finally got it started with a BFH, it wasn't too bad.

If you're going to add the transmission why not just go for the overdrive and lock up. Unless you really need a performance converter and even that I think is available if you want to pay $$. Did a added od to a 76 d100... nice to drive!

How did you do that with a fully electronic valve body? I thought the hydraulic valve body went away after the 1995 model year?

What various parts and mods would be a good idea to beef up a 1995 A500 to go behind a mostly stock 1995 Magnum 5.9 V8 ?

A500 2.75 front planetary is interesting to me because I wonder how a
2.75 planetary/ 2.76 diff
Would compare to my present
2.45 planetary/ 3.21 diff
Drivetrain.

that is easy to figure out.
a 904 1st gear is 2.45 x 3.21 rear gear = 7.86 start out gearing.
A500 1st gear is 2.75 x 2.76 rear gear = 7.59 start out gearing.
just about what you have now for all practical purposes.

Or another way to think about it 2.76 x 2.75 / 2.45 = 3.098.

So 1st gear in the A500 with a 2.76 rear gear would be equivalent to having a roughly 3.10 gear and a 904. Which, as moparx said, is about the same as 3.21 behind a 904.

No being up on swaps, new to this A500. Have 77, 79 Traildusters 4X4 I would like to put in an over drive. Thought only options were finding a 1991-1993 A518

From what I understand, a 518 is basically a 727 w/ OD & is found from '88-'96. The '92-'96 are lock-up units. A 500 trans is basically a 904 w/ OD. If that's the case (and I'm hoping someone corrects me if I'm wrong wink ), I would probably go with the later 518 for a TrailDuster for the lock-up feature. up Several members made on the first page for suggestions of the kit to rig the up the OD & lock-up. beer

Lock up was available on both the large and small series overdrives.

You can turn a non-lockup unit into one using the correct valve body, pump, input shaft and converter.

i have a 91 d150 that is tbi 318. it has a non lockup 518. i will use it for a project but from what i have seen/heard, some guys with more hp want this trans because they can put their conv in it without spending big bucks for new conv. i d it by it having 2 pin connector not 3 pin. i have a friend that uses the patc kit and i have one on shelf for my next project. good piece.
