Ever heard of a 904? Supposedly it's just like a torqueflite, except it's made out of aluminum instead of cast iron like most torqueflites, and it's not as long, and is totally different than a torqueflite, and it has OD, where the torqueflite didn't.
There's a guy on another site I visit who can't understand that all rear-drive MOPAR autos were called torqueflites until the 500/518 came along, and doesn't have a clue. Some people never listen.

Maybe this explantion will help.
Read this first:

The 904 is to the A500 as the 727 is to the A518.
46RH and A518 is used interchangeably. There were no diesel lockup versions built, but most of the gas units were built with lockup converters.

A 904 is a smaller version of a 727. I have a lock up version in my 90 gasser but they are 3 speeds with no overdrive. They also have a lower first gear ratio than a 727. I have never seen a 727 with a cast iron case they are always cast aluminum at least the ones I have seen.

In the 1990s, the TorqueFlite name was dropped and the transmissions were referred to by a model number referring to their torque rating and gear set, although some models remained completely unchanged.

I remember it because I thought that was about the dumbest thing I had ever heard, given my experiences in killing 904's..

this old man has never seen a big block version of a 904 but i did see one in my shop several years ago with a chevy bolt pattern in a mail jeep. 10 years at a dealer ship 60s-70s and never saw one behind a 383-400 engine either
