Re: AMC Automatic Transmission Choices
Daren, it was kind of a Hodge-Podge depending on year, engine and model.
there was a lot of Chrysler 727 styles used, and even a GM Turbo 400 at one point. If you could narrow it down a little, I can try and be more helpful. J.R. |

Re: AMC Automatic Transmission Choices
After Chrysler bought AMC all AMC and Chrysler transmissions are legal in stock and super stock.

Re: AMC Automatic Transmission Choices
All 72 and later cars used Torqueflites. The V8 version of the 904 (998/999) is what most AMC guys run.

Re: AMC Automatic Transmission Choices
This is also like an April Fool's thing for me.
I bought a 68 AMX a few months into the model year from a guy who couldn't afford the payments he thought he could. It had a totally junk Borg Warner automatic that needed rebuilt at 20k miles. The next year they changed to a Torqueflite. In 67, I bought a Barracuda with the top engine offered - a 273/235. The next year the 340 was introduced. Yes, I suck at timing. |

Borg Warner aluminum M40 series , cast iron M11,12. JeepTH400 ,AMC 904 /72
Pick carefully with the 904 cases ,later cases are weak around the bellhousing area
