I want wide ratio gears, but I am having trouble finding a later model 904. Is it better to get the gearset and swap in to the nonlockup I already have, or should I just keep hunting? |

What is the intended use of the transmission? Drag racing? Highway cruising in a light car? Pulling stumps in a dump tuck? |

For a daily driver car,the LU trans will give you better fuel economy, for performance or towing uses, the non-LU is best. The wide ratio gearset could be put in a 67-up trans, but it is a PITA to get the shift points correct. I also don't recomend WR unless your car has 2.2 or 2.45 gears. With 2.76 and up gears,the car won't stay in 2nd gear long enough for highway passing or merging. |

Mostly, just driving around. But I wanted it to be able to get out of its own way from a standing start w/o sacrificing overall drivability...72 Valiant, not that light
