Introduction

How to identify ID numbers and date for TorqueFlite 727, 904, 998, 999, 466, and LoadFlite automatic transmissions from 1955 – 1993. Includes free PDFs, history, and specifications for Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, Imperial, and Plymouth TorqueFlite and PowerFlite. It includes changes and info on performance parts, modifications, parts interchange, and specifications. A full, searchable ID number database is located at the bottom of the page.

I started writing this page with the goal of simply providing free factory service manuals and tips for modifying the A727 but kept adding content from my notes and photos and began writing spreadsheets with specifications for service manuals. I tripped into a rabbit hole of compiling an ID database that took months to reach the bottom after reviewing a dozen service and parts manuals, service bulletins, rebuild books, and other materials to sift through and then type into a searchable database over 1,000 transmission identification numbers and notes at the bottom of the page. I have done my best to confirm the ID number database, but there is conflicting information on multiple IDs, and I’m sure I don’t have every ID used. The 1955 – 1961 PowerFlite and TorqueFlite A466 numbers and notes in particular are challenging due to the lack of detailed information in factory manuals, and I appreciate any additional numbers and information readers wish to email me to refine the database and this guide.

Important Changes to PowerFlite and TorqueFlite Transmissions from 1955 – 1993

1955 – 1961 Cast-iron PowerFlite

Most 1955 Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, Imperial, and Plymouth cars used the great grandfather of the aluminum TorqueFlite–the 2-speed PowerFlite automatic transmission. By early 1956, the PowerFlite was phased out of most Chrysler and Imperial, and by 1957 it was primarily used in lower-model Dodge cars/trucks and Plymouth through 1961. All PowerFlite transmissions use a heavy cast-iron housing that weighs around 230 lbs. dry with the bellhousing and torque converter (compared to 160 lbs. for the aluminum A727 with converter). Shifting is controlled by a cable via a pushbutton gear selector mechanism in the cabin (Figures 1a – 1b). The transmissions do not include a dedicated internal parking pawl and instead use a mechanical brake drum on the output shaft for parking via a hand-brake lever in the cabin.

The PowerFlite uses a separate bellhousing that allows the transmission to be fitted to multiple engine families. 1955 – 1961 PowerFlites interchange between Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, Imperial, and Plymouth engines including Hemi, Hemi-block poly, A-block, B-block, and RB-block so long as the correct bellhousing, spacer plate, torque converter, and other parts are used. These transmissions will not directly mate to 1962 onward engine blocks and crankshafts, and no mass-produced adapter exists (adapters exist to mate a 1962 onward automatic to the earlier engines, however).

The earlier PowerFlite is cooled with screens in the bellhousing and fins on the converters that drawn in fresh air (Figures 1c). Later versions are water cooled where the transmission fluid runs through either a dedicated transmission cooler (early versions) or the tank in the engine radiator.

1955 – mid-1959 extensions use a ball bearing in the extension to support the output shaft, whereas late-1959 – 1961 use a bronze bushing. Due to this change, the later bushing-styel output shafts do not interchange into earlier extensions. Imperials used a different output shaft and extension altogether.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much information on the PowerFlite changes through the years because I cannot locate applicable service bulletins. If rebuilding a PowerFlite, I would refer to the more extensive details about the TorqueFlite A466 I’ve compiled since it is logical Chryselr Corporation would have made some of these changes to the PowerFlite as well. My understanding is that the 1959 – 1961 PowerFlite has enough design changes to assume they are distinct from earlier versions.

Different speedometer pinions were available for the different tire sizes and rear axle ratios:

1956- 1961 Cast-iron TorqueFlite A466

The TorqueFlite A466 was first offered in Imperials produced in early 1956 onward starting with serial number C56-6700 per service bulletin 953-CH (2/22/1959). A couple months later, the Chrysler 300B was fitted with the A466. There is no substantiated factory evidence that the A466 was installed in 1956 DeSoto, Dodge, or Plymouth. DeSoto published an A466 service manual in March 1956, but it appears DeSoto may have intended to offer the A466 and changed its mind. There is a rumor that 9 late-1956 DeSotos received the A466 with at least one known example of a late-1956 DeSoto with the A466, but it has not been proven to be factory original and may have been a quality retrofit by a dealership or mechanic. There is a rumor that 118 late-1956 Dodge cars received the A466, but the claim hasn’t been substantiated with proof and I don’t know of any surviving examples. I think Occam’s razor applies well here in that upper management at DeSoto or Chrysler Corporation decided rather late in the game that they would install the A466 in 1956 DeSotos and printed the March 1956 DeSoto service manual. Then something stopped that plan from materializing so late in 1956 that 1957 models were already either under production or plants were retooling for 1957 production that fitting 1956 DeSotos and Dodges was pointless and would cost too much money in retooling and slowing/stopping the assembly line to be worthwhile. For a hot rodder or customizer with the tools, parts, and knowledge, it’s a weekend swap from PowerFlite to A466; for a production line, it means throwing a wrench into the works and slowing or stopping production potentially by dozens if not hundreds vehicles. I doubt Chrysler Corporation would go through that hassle and loss of production to install A466s in 9 DeSotos and 118 Dodges, especially if they were just about to retool for the 1957 model year. Using Occam, the most straightforward explanation to me is that we end up with an oddball 1956 DeSoto A466 service manual that doesn’t reflect 1956 production due to a change in plans. Of course, a very few 1956 DeSotos and Dodges could have been pulled off the line and sent to the Special Products Group to receive a custom A466 for very unique purposes (racing, auto shows, company/dealership management or family members, expensive custom orders, etc.), but its far more likely no such 1956 DeSoto or Dodge vehicles ever existed and that any surviving suggestions were modified by a dealership or mechanic somewhere between 1956 and now with an eye for details to where the retrofit passes for factory.

By 1957, the A466 was standard in Chrysler, Imperial, and DeSoto and optional in some model Dodge cars and Plymouth (usually the premium models). Some Dodge trucks began receiving the A466 (renamed LoadFlite for 1957 – 1965 trucks), which was the same transmission used that year in the Chrysler New Yorker. I roll the LoadFlite in with the TorqueFlite from here on since they are the same transmission just with a different marketing name. Some people online call the iron TorqueFlite an “A488,” but it’s either a misunderstanding or typo since no such TorqueFlite transmission ever existed. All A466 transmissions use a heavy cast-iron housing that weighs in about 240 lbs. dry with the bellhousing and torque converter (compared to 160 lbs. for the aluminum A727 with converter). Shifting is controlled by a cable via a pushbutton gear selector mechanism in the cabin (Figures 1a – 1b). The transmissions do not include a dedicated internal parking pawl and instead use a mechanical brake drum on the output shaft for parking via a lever in the cabin.

The A466, like the PowerFlite, used a separate bellhousing that allowed the transmission to be fitted to multiple engine families. The 1955 – 1961 PowerFlite, A466, and LoadFlite interchange between Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, Imperial, and Plymouth engines including Hemi, Hemi-block poly, A-block, B-block, and RB-block so long as the correct bellhousing, spacer plate, torque converter, and other parts are used. Imperials used a unique output shaft and extension, which I discuss below. The A466 will not directly mate to 1962 onward engine blocks and crankshafts, and no mass-produced adapter exists (adapters exist to mate a 1962 onward automatic to the earlier engines, however).

The 1956 – 1957 A466 is either air-cooled or water-cooled. The air-cooled versions have screens in the bellhousing and fins on the converters to draw in fresh air (Figures 1c). 1958 – 1961 are water cooled where the transmission fluid runs through either a dedicated transmission cooler (early) or the tank in the engine radiator.

The standard-duty A466 uses a four-disc front and rear clutch retainer and pack, while the heavy duty A466 (found in Chrysler 300, some Imperials, Dodge D500, etc.) use either a four-disc or five-disc front and rear clutch retainer and pack with tighter clearances. The HD A466 deletes the cushion spring, has longer-ratio kickdown actuator lever, stiffer rear clutch spring, eliminated accumulator spring, higher line pressures, tighter band adjustments, and more aggressive governor weights and springs. The spec for the HD band adjustments is to follow the service manual for adjusting but to back off the adjuster screw 2 – 2.5 turns rather than using the manual’s spec (see transmission specifications and free service manual PDFs farther down on the page). The appropriate HD governor parts for those wanting to hunt down NOS parts is outer weight 1823726, inner weight 1636462, and spring 1823709. This configuration provides the following line pressure: 15 psi at 21 – 23 MPH, 50 psi at 48 – 53 MPH, and 75 psi at 71 – 77 MPH. The HD clutch pack information is as follows:

A466 HD Clutch Pack Specifications (Service Bulletin 58-15, 12/26/1957)

The A466 uses three different front clutch piston assemblies: 1956 – 1957 until serial number 50848 used an 8-lever; 1957 – 1958 from 50849 used a 4-lever; and 1959 onward used an 8-lever (different design than the 1956 – 1957 lever).

1956 – 1957 TorqueFlite A466 front pumps used a lower-volume gear set #16 at 0.69″ thick, whereas 1958 – 1961 pumps went to a higher-volume #17 0.81″ gear set. The pump housing and gear set must match for proper fluid compression.

Service bulletin 58-11 (11/14/1957) states that starting after A466 transmission serial number 547,000, “the front and rear pump check valve has been reversed in the regulator body, placing the small bleed orifice against the front pump pressure port. This step has been taken to improve idle and low-speed line pressure characteristics. . . . In service, the pump check valve should be reversed in all transmissions previous to this [serial] number” upon rebuilding. “The check valve must not protrude above the regulator body surface and should seat properly on both sides.”

The 1956 – mid-1959 TorquFlite A466 torque converters are 13″ diameter, whereas mid-1959 – 1961 are 12″ and 1-1/16″ shallower (front to back) than the earlier converter. Consequently, the shallow 12″ converter bellhousing is longer at 8″ than the earlier 13″ converter bellhousing at 6-15/16″. These changes are important when swapping transmissions, converters, and bellhousings.

1957 – mid-1959 output shaft extensions use a ball bearing in the extension to support the output shaft, whereas late-1959 – 1961 use a bronze bushing. Due to this change, the later bushing output shafts do not interchange with the earlier extensions. Imperials used a different output shaft and extension altogether due to the speedometer gear’s and transmission mount’s locations that does not interchange with Chrysler, Dodge, DeSoto, or Plymouth A466s, but I believe the non-Imperial output shaft and extension can be swapped into an Imperial transmission and vice versa if needed.

The Imperial A466 uses a 1/4″ longer kickdown lever. If it is mistakenly used on a non-Imperial vehicle with factory kickdown linkage, the transmission can suffer from problematic kickdown engagement unless either the lever is changed to the proper lever or adjustment to the linkage is made to address the change in ratio.

Starting in 1958 with ID 633519, the A466 stopped using a governor compression valve and its related parts in the valve body. These valve bodies can be used in 1957 up transmissions.

1959 starting with serial number 1285857 saw significant changes to the A466. Important for the pushbutton shifter configuration, late-1959 units began using a wheel-adjusted shifter cable, whereas the earlier cable uses a slide adjustment. To accommodate the new adjuster wheel, the case was changed. Per service bulletin 59-89 (7/16/1959), the transmission got a one-piece valve body and new converter valve.

The 1961 A466 is a unique beast with a redesigned large-diameter reverse drum and matching band that do not interchange with earlier versions. There were also some running changes to the A466 in 1961. Per service bulletin 429 (11/28/1961):

1960 – 1961 Aluminum “TorqueFlite 6” A904 6-cylinder

Chrysler Corporation introduced the newly designed aluminum TorqueFlite A904 for the 1960 model year behind 6-cylinder engines in Dodge and Plymouth cars. The shifting is controlled by a cable via a push-button mechanism in the cabin. The 1960 – 1961 A904 did not use an output-shaft parking brake and instead had a dedicated internal parking pawl controlled by a second cable. Full-size Dodge and Plymouth vehicles used the output-shaft parking brake controlled by a brake lever in the cabin. The two types of 1960 – 1961 A904, with and without the output-shaft brake, are essentially the same transmission aside from one including the internal components (output shaft, extension, etc.) for the dedicating parking pawl and two cables (shifter and park) and the other excluding the internal parking components and using one cable (shifter). The A904 internals were beefed up to go behind the 225.

1962 – 1964 TorqueFlite A727 and A904

For the 1962 model year, Chrysler Corporation introduced the new aluminum TorqueFlite A727 behind V8s with a heavy duty version for the 413 high-performance packages. As with the iron A466, Dodge called the transmission “LoadFlite” for 1962 – 1965 trucks and then used TorqueFlite thereafter. The A904 went behind light-duty V8s with heavy duty versions available in police and taxi packages starting in 1963. In 1964, the A727 was available behind 6-cylinder trucks, and a performance version went behind the 426 Max Wedge and Hemi packages. Unlike their iron predecessor, the A727 and A904 used an integral bellhousing and, therefore, required different transmissions for different engine families including the Slant 6-cylinder, the poly A-block 318 (313 export), and the B/RB. The LA273 released in 1964 uses the poly A-block bellhousing and crankshaft configuration (along with many other parts found on the interchange page), and the 426 Street Hemi would use the B/RB configuration. See the transmission page for more information on the different transmissions that mate to the A/LA. In a section below after I work through the changes, I go over how to identify Slant 6, A/LA, and B/RB/Hemi TorqueFlites.

Distinct to the 1962 – 1964 TorqueFlites, the shifting is cable operated via a pushbutton shifter in the cabin like their Forward Look iron ancestors. The kickdown is operated via a lever like other aluminum TorqueFlites. Some sources claim the 1963 A904 changed from cable-operated to lever-operated shifting, but I have never been able to confirm such a transmission existed from the factory, and the 1963 factory parts manual shows only a cable-operated pushbutton system.

An interesting note for console-shifted A727s found in 1964 Chrysler 300s: the valve body shift pattern is reversed compared to the pushbutton valve body. In the event someone out there with a 1964 console-shift car can’t figure out why the transmission remains in first gear when the shifter lever is in park and goes into park when the lever is in first, you have a pushbutton valve body installed.

The 1962 – 1964 TorqueFlite used a fixed flange bolted to the output shaft that mates to a ball-and-trunnion driveshaft (Figure 2a). While the output shaft is splined to accept the flange, the splines are not remotely similar to the slip-yoke splines and will not accept a slip yoke. A 1965 slip-yoke output shaft and tailhousing assembly can be swapped into a 1962 – 1964 TorqueFlite to convert it to slip yoke. Another option a slip-yoke driveshaft I configured for my 1956 Dodge coupe with a 1964 A727 (see my technical article on building a slip-yoke driveshaft).

A unique design for the 1962 – 1964 TorqueFlite is a dual pump configuration, one in the front driven by the torque converter and a rear pump driven by the output shaft (Figure 2b). The dual pump allows the vehicle to be push-started similar to a standard transmission since the driveshaft would turn the engine and pressurize the transmission via the rear pump.

1962 Vehicles that used Lockheed brakes (e.g. Dodge 880, Chrysler Imperial) maintained the parking brake drum on the output shaft, while vehicles that used Bendix brakes (e.g. small Dodge and Plymouth) abandoned the parking brake drum, used a dedicated parking pawl to lock the output shaft inside the transmission via a second cable operated by a parking lever in the cabin, and included a mechanical parking/emergency brake on the rear wheels via a lever in the cabin. By 1963, all TorqueFlites ditched the output-shaft brake drum and used a dedicated parking pawl (Figure 2c).

Another consideration for the 1962 – 1964 TorqueFlite is the input shaft spline configuration. The input shaft has 19 splines with a narrow 9/16″ reaction/stator support bushing on which the direct clutch drum rides (Figure 2d). While stock and aftermarket performance 19-spline torque converters used to be plentiful and cheap, they are now extremely limited and often require having a shop rebuild or modify a factory unit. The 1962 – 1965 TorqueFlite can be converted to the later 24-spline configuration, which I cover in a technical article.

For people struggling with fluid leaks that appear to be coming from the shifter and/or park cables, replacing the o-ring is the first repair. While you have the cables off, closely inspect the black plastic sheathing for splits/tears and bubbling. If the sheathing has deteriorated or is damaged, fluid can seep into the steel-wound cable housing and leak out. To eliminate this issue when I reuse old cables (new ones are available but expensive), I cut and strip off the factory plastic sheathing and install adhesive-lined electrical heat-shrink to seal the cable housing.

1965 TorqueFlite A727 and A904

The 1965 A727 shares many similarities with the 1962 – 1964 but has enough changes to discuss on its own. Some 1965 A727 maintain the two cables that operate the shifter and parking pawl but actuated by a column or console lever versus the iconic pushbuttons; however, some vehicles moved to a single mechanical lever that controlled both the shifting and parking using a shifter lever on the column or console. There are multiple rumors trying to explain the change in the shifter mechanism, but the most plausible from my research and guided by Occam’s razor is simply due to national standardization. On July 1, 1965, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) through J915 “Automatic Transmission Manual Control Sequence” formally, voluntarily agreed that for USA domestic vehicles park would be the first position at either the top of a column shifter or forward-most on a console shifter. It’s evident that Chrysler Corporation knew at least by the start of 1964 that both the SAE and federal regulators were considering this standardization since the pushbutton shifting configurations were abandoned in all 1965 model-year vehicles in place of a column or console shifter that placed park per SAE’s J915. Once the complex typewriter shifter mechanism was ditched, there was no reason to keep a cable to operate the shifter and a second cable to operate the parking pawl, which likely didn’t bother Chrysler’s Finance Department since manufacturing and assembling the pushbutton system cost significantly more than a single lever system. The most logical path was for Chrysler Corporation to do a redesign effective the 1966 model year to use a single lever to operate shifting to conform to J915, aligning with their GM and Ford competitors.

Important for interchanging the 1965 TorqueFlite into 1962 – 1964 vehicles, the shifter cable adjustment must be addressed. The 1962 – 1964 cable is adjusted by placing the shifter mechanism in reverse, pushing the cable into the transmission housing, and locking the adjuster wheel. The 1965 valve body differs from the 1962 – 1964 where the park position is after the reverse position, so the 1965 shifter cable is adjusted by placing the shifter mechanism in first gear, pulling out on the cable, and securing the adjuster wheel. The 1965 transmission will physically accept the 1962 – 1964 shifter cable, but one must use the 1965 cable adjustment instructions to properly synchronize the shifter mechanism to the transmission.

In 1965, Chrysler Corporation began moving to a slip-yoke output shaft that accepts a slip-yoke driveshaft. Some vehicles maintained the fixed flange for a ball-and-trunnion driveshaft. Important for those building or using cable-operated TorqueFlite A727/A904, the 1965 slip-yoke cable-operated transmissions maintain the rear pump and are the only slip-yoke transmissions that can used to convert 1962 – 1964 TorqueFlites to slip-yoke by using everything from the output shaft back. 1966 onward output-shaft assemblies cannot be swapped into the 1962 – 1964 transmissions. The 1965 slip-yoke transmissions are becoming harder to find and are important to people retrofitting 1962 – 1965 vehicles originally equipped with ball-and-trunnion driveshafts, so try to save either the entire transmission or the output shaft, pump, and extension whenever possible.

The 1965 TorqueFlite maintained the 19-spline input shaft and 9/16″ narrow reaction/stator support bushing configuration. 1965 was the last year for the small-diameter speedometer pilot attached to the speedometer cable.

The A904 was overhauled for strength, and the first high-performance version was available behind the 273 Super Commando in A-bodies.

1966 – Mid-1971 TorqueFlite A727 and A904 Transmission

For 1966, all TorqueFlites were lever operated and used a single front pump driven by the torque converter. The output shafts accepted a slip-yoke driveshaft. Of note, Chrysler Corporation made a running change where the input shaft went from 19 splines to 24 splines, so some 1966 transmissions have 19 and others 24 splines. The reaction/stator support maintained the narrow 9/16″ bushing design; of importance to those wanting to convert a 1962 – 1966 19-spline TorqueFlite to 24-spline, the 1966 – 1971 narrow-bushing reaction/stator support, input shaft, direct hub, and direct drum can be used but must not be mixed in with the later wide bushing parts I discuss in the next section. Mixing the narrow-bushing and wide-bushing components will cause an internal fluid leak and make the transmission inoperable.

In 1966, the speedometer gear changed to the large-diameter, adjustable pilot housing (Figures 3a – 3d).

The 1967 A727 was fitted with a larger input shaft, and high-performance packages received four-pinion planetaries compared to the three-pinion planetaries used in other A727s (Figures 3e – 3f).

The 1967 A904 received a part-throttle kickdown circuit for 6-cylinder applications that would eventually be used in the A727. The A904 behind the LA318 was given a larger diameter input shaft and a larger diameter front of the output shaft to handle the additional load.

1971 – 1977 TorqueFlite A727 and A904

In 1971, about mid-year, Chrysler Corporation changed to a different reaction/stator support, input shaft, direct hub, and direct drum to use a wider 13/16” bushing to better support the rotating assembly (Figures 4a – 4c). To upgrade a 1962 – 1971 TorqueFlite equipped with the narrow 9/16″ bushing, the wide-bushing stator support, input shaft, direct hub, and direct drum must be used as a unit. I go into great detail in another technical article about the required parts and processes to convert the earlier narrow-bushing transmissions to the wider bushing. Mixing the narrow-bushing and wide-bushing components will cause an internal fluid leak and make the transmission inoperable.

The wide-bushing stator support deleted an oiling hole present on 1962 – 1971 narrow-bushing supports that directly oils the endplay shim/Torrington bearing (Figure 4d). I detail drilling the wide-bushing reaction/stator support for this oil passage in a technical article.

Similar to the A904, the A727 in cars received a part-throttle kickdown circuit that required less throttle to downshift. Truck A727s got the change in 1973.

In 1974, the A727’s rear clutch was upgraded with a stouter Belleville spring washer.

Important for those building A727s, in 1976 the output shaft spline spline pitch at the front that accept the planetaries changed from the 45° used 1962 – 1975 to 37.5° used from 1976 – 1993 (Figures 4e – 4f). It’s critical to consider this change when swapping output shafts and planetaries to ensure the pitches match. The 1962 – 1975 45° planetaries won’t slide onto the 1976 – 1993 37.5° shafts, but the 37.5° planetaries will slide onto the 45° shafts but have slop and will strip out. The fit should be snug to tell you the pitches match. Refer to Figure 4g to assist in identifying output shafts.

1978 – 1993 TorqueFlite A727 and A904

A lockup torque converter version of the TorqueFlite was introduced in 1978, which uses a different pump, reaction/stator support, input shaft, and valve body than the non-lockup versions. From the outside, the lockup versions can be identified quickly by the smooth journal at the end of the shaft that seals into the torque converter and is drilled through the center for fluid (Figure 5a), whereas the non-lockup versions maintain splines all the way to the end. The converter seals and unseals on this journal as the converter’s lockup piston moves between locking and unlocking. When unlocked, fluid passes through the hollow input shaft, through the unlocked piston’s gap, through the converter, and back via the passage in the reaction shaft/stator support and input shaft. When locking, the piston forces the converter’s pressure plate against the converter’s internal friction disc. It is important that the torque converter matches the transmission depending on if it is lockup or non-lockup since they cannot be mixed.

In 1980, the A904 began receiving wide-ratio gear sets. 1986 A904 behind the 225 received a part-throttle converter unlock. The 1988 A904 received an upgraded 12-roller overrunning clutch.

1984 truck A727s behind LA318 and LA360 were strengthened with four-disc front clutch packs and four-pinion planetaries. In 1989, the A727 was updated with a stronger reaction/stator support and high-flow shaft.

A998 Transmission

The A998 is a variant of the A904 that contains four-friction direct clutch packs and upgraded components to handle the load behind LA318s and other medium-duty engines. Both wide and narrow gear sets were used.

A999 Transmission

The A999 builds on the A998 as a heavier-duty variant that contains a five-friction direct clutch pack to handle the load behind LA360s. The first and second gear ratios were lowered. In 1983, the converter lockup speed was increased for 2.2:1 rear axle ratios. The 1986 A999 behind the LA318 received a part-throttle converter unlock.

Motorhome/RV and Truck A727 Transmissions

The A727 made its way into trucks and motorhomes, and these versions can be unique. They have heavy duty internals like HP versions including four-clutch forward packs and four-pinion planetaries. While some use the long 18-5/8″ extension and slip-yoke output shaft similar to cars (Figure 6a), some use a medium 14-3/4″ extension (Figure 6b), and others a short 8-3/8″ extension (Figure 6c). Some trucks received a heavy duty extension as well (I need photos of these versions). According to service manuals, the Class A motorhomes usually have a manual emergency brake drum on the output shaft (Figure 6d) similar to the iron PowerFlite and TorqueFlite A466 (and some 1960 – 1962 A904/A727), whereas the Class B/C don’t have the brake. Importantly, the short and medium extension versions feature a fixed output flange (Figure 6e) that accepts a universal joint designed for a two-piece driveshaft where the slip-yoke is located at the center support. Some long-extensions versions also use a fixed flange (Figure 6f). Note that the output shaft splines and fixed flange are not the same as those of the 1962 – 1965 A727/A904 with fixed flanges and won’t interchange. Don’t let the output shaft and extension configuration stop you from nabbing the transmission for a vehicle that needs a slip-yoke output shaft if the price is right, because a long slip-yoke output shaft and extension can be swapped in. Conversely, the motorhome/truck A727 makes a great donor to source the heavy duty forward drum, planetaries, and other components when building a HD/HP transmission.

PowerFlite & TorqueFlite A466, A727, A904, A998, A999 Parts Interchange

While I provide more details in the historical changes section above, in general, many components for each transmission model interchange with the same model with the consideration of the significant changes (e.g. cable-shift units, planetary spline pitch, non-lockup/lockup, part-throttle kickdown, etc.). A general summary of interchanging that should be read alongside the detailed changes above:

1955 – 1961 PowerFliteMany components interchange, keeping in mind the air-cooled and water-cooled changes. Air-cooled PowerFlite converters swap with air-cooled TorqueFlite A466 converters of the same depth. The 1959 – 1961 versions likely differ enough to be careful when sourcing donor parts.
1956 – 1961 TorqueFlite A466Most 1956 – 1958 components interchange, although the heavier-duty units (e.g. Chrysler 300, Dodge D500, etc.) used different components. Non-HD units can be fitted with the HD components. Remember the differences in air-cooled to water-cooled and the many changes from around 1959 onward. Be careful of the 1961 running changes. Air-cooled A466 converters swap with air-cooled PowerFlite converters of the same depth.
1960 – 1961 TorqueFlite A904
(6-cylinder)
As the first two years for the newly designed aluminum A904, these are unique transmissions that interchange with each other but likely aren’t the best cores to source parts for later A904s that saw upgrades.
1962 – 1965
Cable-operated, dual pump
A727 parts interchange. A904 parts interchange between both Slant 6 and V8 versions keeping in mind the heavier parts for the 273 Super Commando units. Very few A727 and A904 parts interchange across the two models, however. Remember that 1962 had some units with the output shaft parking brake drum that make the extension parts unique. Also remember the change from fixed output flange to slip-yoke. These rear-pump output shafts and extensions are unique and won’t work in later transmissions and vice versa.
1966 – 1977Most parts interchange between the transmission models keeping in mind the significant changes. Remember the 1966 – 1971 narrow-bushing front components interchange from 1962 – 1971 when kept together, and the 1971 onward wide-bushing components when kept together will work in 1962 onward units. Neglecting to use all the narrow-bushing or all the wide-busing components as packages will create an internal leak. The 1966 – 1975 45° pitch output shafts and planetaries interchange, and the 1976 onward 37.5° parts interchange. Valve bodies can be swapped, remembering some are part-throttle kickdown.
1978 – 1993Things start getting convoluted after 1977 due to the many different versions within the different models. Lockup and non-lockup converters, pump/input shaft/reaction/direct clutch components, valve bodies, etc. can differ (non-lockup vs. lockup, etc.) between versions but often interchange with similar versions. The A904/A998/A999 went through multiple changes, some subtle but significant such as two different diameter reaction/stator supports, different rear clutch retainer and sunshell diameters, etc. The best practice after 1977 is to use the ID database below when obtaining a donor transmission to see its specs and to both visually inspect and physically measure components during interchanging to ensure they match.
A904/A998/A999Many parts interchange between the three models since they are all based on the compact A904, but consider the variations I mention in the 1978 – 1993 row just above. A999 or A998 guts can’t simply be thrown into a pre-1978 A904 and called good.

PowerFlite & TorqueFlite (A466, A727, A904) Visual & Dimension Identification

I provide multiple ways to identify the transmissions including the case shape, bellhousing shape, oil pan shape, and dimensions. Figure 7a – 7b shows a cast-iron 1956 Dodge 2-speed PowerFlite originally behind a Hemi-block poly 270. Note that earlier versions, like the figure, use air to cool the converter/fluid with screens in the bellhousing and fins on the torque converter to draw in air (Figure 1c above). Figures 7c – 7d shows a water-cooled 1958 Plymouth 3-speed TorqueFlite A466 that was originally behind an A-block 318. The cast-iron TorqueFlite is longer than the PowerFlite and has a longer oil pan that pushes the transmission mount 3-1/2″ farther back than the PowerFlite. Actuating the shifter mechanism with a pair of needle-nose pliers and counting the clicks is another way to identify the transmissions since the PowerFlite has four positions (Neutral, Reverse, Low, High) and the TorqueFlite A466 has five (Neutral, Reverse, 1, 2, 3).

Figure 7d: Cast-iron 3-speed TorqueFlite Transmission

Keeping in mind the different versions with an output shaft brake drum and fixed output flange or slip yoke, Figure 7e shows the typical 1962 onward aluminum A727, and Figure 7f shows the 1960 onward A904 (A998 and A999 similar). The top and elevation view of the transmissions are clearly different between the two: The A727 has a smooth, gradual sloped transition from the bellhousing, down the main body, and into output extension; the A904 has a distinct reduction in the case diameter and a hump where the bellhousing meets the main case.

Figure 7f: Aluminum TorqueFlite A904

The oil pan shape also identifies the transmission models. Figure 7g shows the cast-iron TorqueFlite A466 and PowerFlite oil pans. The TorqueFlite’s pan is almost square with long-radius corners, whereas the PowerFlite is more rectangular and has tighter-radius corners on one side. Figure 7h shows the A727 and A904 oil pans with the A727 having a distinct pop-out whereas the A904 is rectangular with a bobbed corner7

To identify the engine family, the bellhousing shape, dimensions, and starter motor location are giveaways. Referring to Figure 7i, the Slant 6-cylinder is easily distinguishable by the starter location at the 1:00 position when facing the front pump. The A/LA starter is located at about 3:30 and has a span of 7-3/4″ at the top two bolt holes. The B/RB/Hemi has the starter at 3:00 with a span of 6-1/4″ at the top two bolt holes.

Figure 7i: TorqueFlite A727 and A904 Bellhousing

The overall transmission length provides another means to identify the A727 and A904/998/999. Figure 7j compares the lengths, although the different output extensions offered change these measurements to where they are less helpful when trying to identify the transmission on the fly at a salvage yard or swap meet.

PowerFlite & TorqueFlite A466, A727, A904, A998, A999 Identification Numbers

We have arrived at the beast of a database I spent evenings for months compiling, confirming, and typing into the chart. If readers notice any typos, inaccuracies, or missing information, please contact me so I may update the list.

The 1955 – 1961 iron PowerFlite and TorqueFlite/LoadFlite A466 can be identified by an upside-down number stamped into the right (passenger) side of the oil pan rail near the dipstick tube (Figure 8a – 8b).

The 1962 onward TorqueFlite A727/A904/A998/A999 can be identified by a number stamped into the left (driver) side of the oil pan rail (Figures 8c – 8d). The letter(s) before the number identify the assembly plant, which I don’t include in the database.

Performance Modifications

There are many performance modifications for the aluminum TorqueFlite that I don’t cover here, but I detail some of them in a technical article that improve the A727 up to 500 ft.lbs. There are multiple books available through Amazon and other retailers that extensively cover modifications as well. Many performance/HD parts are available through retialers like A&A, Cope Racing, Mancini, Summit, Jegs, and others. Common modifications, depending on purpose and load, include but aren’t limited to

  • Torque converter and flexplate
  • HP valve bodies and modifications including shift kits
  • Accumulator spring modification
  • Governor adjustment
  • Large-capacity oil pan
  • HP pump
  • HP/HD Input shaft and reaction/stator support and shaft
  • HP/HD Direct drum, hub, return springs
  • HP/HD rear clutch retainer
  • HP Roller-bearing low-reverse drum
  • HP/HD sun gear shell
  • 4-, 5-, and 6-friction/steel packs
  • Race frictions and Kolene steels
  • HP/HD kickdown band
  • Kickdown apply lever adjustment (3.8, 4.2, 5.0 common)
  • Billet HD band-apply strut

Free PowerFlite TorqueFlite A466, A727, A904, A998, A999 Factory Service Manual PDFs

I edited multiple factory service manuals to cover the different A727 and A904 versions for those looking to adjust, maintain, or rebuild the transmissions. I don’t have a lockup-converter manual but will add it when I get one. The manuals along with free engine and carburetor manuals are also found on the service manual page. All content from the manuals is public domain as historical documents with no valid copyright protections, and they are legally free to download and share.
