Topic: TF-904 Vs. the 909. ANother auto trans question

[dexetr30]

Being as the TF-909 is the same auto trans as the 904 but with a locking converter, and electronically controlled.... will a shift kit for the 904 work in the 909? I could really use some help with this one so if anyone knows please inform. I've got some $$$ for some mods and the tranny is next on the list.

If the 904 shift kit won't work... what about the use of a chip to increase the line pressure to get the same affect?

Ok, last question......... Is the locking converter the only thing that is electronically controlled in the 909?

[dexetr30]

Man... doesn't anyone have any trans knowledge here?   Anyone???

That would be my guess as the AW4 is the only electronically shifted jeep trans I know of.  I don't know my auto trannies very well.

Thanks Bounty Hunter. I know a few of us are running autos on here. It's odd to me that someone doesn't have more knowledge on them. I did some research and from what I can tell I should be able to use a shift kit from a 904/909 on my trans.

I found a shift kit from " Superior Transmission Parts Inc." that will work with the (518 / 618 / 500 transmissions 1989 to 2002) 30RH auto trans. TransmissionCenter.net confirmed that the only thing controlled electronically is the converter... In case anyones interested.

Good to know, were you able to find anything on a torque converter with a lower stall?

Yup, Superior Transmission Parts Inc. also carries torque converters. Actually, I think they rebuild the stock converter to the customer specs. However, the Mobil DTE 25 is supposed to lower the stall speed a bit when added to the converter. It's going to be a month or so before I get to doing all of this but I'll post and let everyone know the outcome.

I was talking to a few of the guys from Art Carr and they said they've been running the DTE 25 in many of there transmissions. They were good enough to return an email I sent them with many questions.

Hmmm....and I have an endless supply of DTE 25 at work......

Got to see and talk to someone with a mopar transmission that has done it before I would though, my trans is only a few months old.

I may end up running a 50/50 mix of DTE and my regular trans fluid. We'll see when the time comes.
