| Post subject: | 64 Valiant Rear Tranny Seal |
Looking under my car the other day, I found a puddle on the ground - the rear tranny seal is leaking. The car has been sitting over the winter months. It is a 1964 Canadian Valiant with a /6 and a push button cable 904 tranny. My 1964 parts book shows the mopar number as 2205080 for this seal. It also shows 2464482 for VX2, V2 , L2 which I think are for 8 cyl cars? This older thread below from the forum discusses a different part number for this application: part № 1942 401 viewtopic.php?t=61996 Which is correct? Many Thxs |

I no longer have a '64 Canadian FPC. If your FPC lists VX cars, that's a Canadian book (paper? Or PDF?) The US '64 FPC shows 1942 401 for the 6-cylinder cars, 2205 080 for the 8-cylinder cars; everything from Dart-Valiant 'with heavy duty transmission' up through Imperial. This makes me suspect the 2205 080 is for A727 transmissions, and we already know the 1942 401 is for pre-'65 A904 transmissions. Listing the '080 for 8-cylinder Dart/Valiant cars might be an error in the '64 US book; those cars got A904s, not A727s. Canadian '60-'63 Valiant-Lancer-Dart FPC shows 1942 401, only. Highest likelihood is that you need the 1942 401. 2464 482 appears only once in the US '64 FPC, as a component included in auto trans gasket/seal kit 2495 091, which is listed as the kit for 8-cylinder Valiant-Dart cars. It is not listed separately as the rear seal for the automatic transmission in those cars; again, that's where 2205 080 is listed. The 2464 482 seal is even larger in diameter than the 2205 080, so…yeah! The only automatic transmission difference between US and Canadian '64 A-bodies was the Canadian Slant-6 cars used a different ring gear (same as US '60-'61) to comport with the Prestolite direct-drive starter vs. the US gear-reduction item. 1942 401 specs are here. 2205 080 specs are here. Should be easily obvious from the specs (shaft diameter, outer diameter, etc) which one your car needs. |

I had the paper one, too, which is why I no longer have it, nor most of my other Canadian FPCs. (I have the actual paper parts manual from '64 - has US and Canadian cars in it) |
