The 904s started being fitted with the low gear sets sometime in the late 70s, right? My understanding was that it was a crutch instead of simply designing an overdrive transmission. The lower 1st and 2nd gear gave the feel of deeper axle gearing so the diff could actually be lowered numerically for the reduced cruising rpms.
I'm not all that happy with my 727 in the Charger. It was rebuilt several years back but shift quality has never been great. I've thought about having it built right using some quality parts including a low gear set instead of floor modifications to accomodate a 518 or some other setup. I ran a Gear Vendors but wasn't all that happy with it.
Using the low gear set, I'd still be able to keep the converter that I have along with everything else, linkage, drive shaft, etc.
Has anyone here used the low gear set for their street car?
