got free tranny to beef up MAKE ME A LIST
« on: December 28, 2006, 07:30:13 PM »

so my mechanic father just got a 98 a604 tranny in and his work is letting him have it. my tranny is fine, but we decided to take the used one and rebuild it. we want to try and "bullet-proof " this thing and NO, i'm not buying anything from exile, so i'd like anyone here that knows about this stuff to make a list of what we should do to it... i figure my list so far should be:
high stall torque converter
lightweight flywheel
limited slip differential
weld that pin that always breaks through the transfer case
and ideas? part numbers and internet stores http: addresses that carry em?
what shift kit should i get?
i plan on keeping the venge when it's second tranny dies so this will be the replacement tranny for it.
i am putting a tranny cooler on this spring, as well as the stratus gears. Cool

Totally aggreed ! I will keep my Venger forever too. DEATH FIRST !! I've already replaced my tranny once. 
Tearstone.com has torque converters, and good luck finding LSD's, I can't.  All I've got planned right now is replace the torque converter (I have one now), the Stratus gears, and a tranny cooler.

How much are you talking about spending? I sent mine to Hannibal Transmission. $1200 later I really do have a bulletproof tranny. He re-sealed everything and put all new bearings in along with all the new upgrades for the a604. He welded and put some kinda retaining rings on the pin. He also found a hairline crack in the casing that wasnt even leaking. Plus, he installed his roadrage gears, I'm not sure of the ratio, but boy what a difference, stock for stock i'll beat any avenger out there. I recieved it all cleaned and freshly painted. The torque converter also got rebuilt which is a must when you rebuild a transmission. The new transmissionm should probably hold up to about 350hp/375lb-ft of torque. Which is more than the 2.5 or 3.0 will ever see. I highly reccomend giving him a call.

Anyone know how to re-ratio (i know there's swapping involved) an A578 to where in fifth at around 90 i'm only pushing like 2700 rpm?
