Just wondering which trans I have. I am thinking it is the 904 in the 440 model with 4 doors and the 318 engine. Where can I look on the trans to verify what I have???
Did the 318 engine have both 904 and 727 transmissions behind it in 1969?

Look at the pan rail on the passenger side... the 727 has a 'hump' for lack of a better word where the 904 was more of a rectangular pan( I'd be surprised if yours didn't have the 904)

I had a 1969 satellite with a 318 and trailer towing package with 11” brakes, sway bar and 3.23 sure grip. Still had the 904.

You have a 904. A 727 will not mate to a 318 from what I understand. The 904 pan is shaped like the bottom one in the picture. On driver side of the transmission, down by the linkage. It will have A-904 in huge letters. You can’t miss it and confuse one for the other if you’re looking at the tranny from down under. The 904 was considered a light duty tranny. That’s why all the 318 automatic models received 904 transmissions. Smaller engine, lighter duty tranny.

I don't know about the cars, but Power Wagons got the 727 with the small block.

Does that same 727-A that was for small blocks. Mate to big blocks ?
In 69 u could have either a 727 or 904. Most likely u have a 904. Kim

Pickups also could come with 727's behind the teen and so did some of the bigger cars. Just depended on the option package it had.
D31 is a 904 in 1969-1971. D32 is a 727. Look on the fender tag of the blue Coronet.
Every 1966 and 1967 B-body with a 318 came with a 727 as standard equipment. The same years the 273 had a 904.
As stated above pickups and Vans had 318 with a 727 for years. Chrysler made a 727 for a slant 6 engine. I have seen them and they are scarce, unsure of what years made.
There are no factory 904 trans with a BB bellhousing on it
Bellhousings bolt patterns are different from slant 6 to SB and BB
Many misc ramblings here, thanks for reading.

Ok, I got pictures. According to what you all have told me, this is a 904. Anyone disagree? Bye the way, thank you all for the information you have provided!

904
I went to visit my Coronet this last weekend. It is sitting in a storage unit until May 4th when it will be trailered to the body/paint shop. I checked the fender tag while I was there and it says D31. Between that and the shape of the pan, we have identified this as the 904 transmission which is correct for this car. I have learned a lot from you all on this thread (and others as well). Just wanted to say thanks again!!!

I had a 340 Duster that had a 727-A trans in it.
