A904 Gauge Questions

[istaywikkid]

my a904 has the fuel gauge where you see where you shift (Park drive and all that stuff) does anyone know where the clip goes?

 

for the a904 3 speed auto trans in 1987 comanche pioneer

What clip are you talking about?

[87manche1]

Column shift? Should clip onto the shift collar somewhere

Been swapped?http://www.roadkillcustoms.com/hot-rods-rat-rods/Transmission-Cross-Reference-Database.asp?Transmission=904

It does, the shift indicator cable clips on the intermediate column cover that moves when you shift. Also if it's an 87 you have the AW4; the a904 3-speed was only used in the 86 models. Unless you have an oddball.

The A904 was used behind the 2.8 and I assume the 2.5 in 86. What auto was used behind the 2.5 in 87 and later? Or did 2.5's not have an auto option in those years?

@87manche1 yes thats what I'm talking about.

 

and yea i have a 87 with the 4.0 but i have this stupid 3 speed auto and i have no idea why :/ its original to never had a motor or tranny swap.

The A904 was never offered behind the 4.0. The A999 and TF727 which is related to the A904 was offered behind the 258 and AMC V8s in the full size Jeeps and would only be in a 4.0 Comanche if someone swapped one in. Are you sure you don't have the AW4 and its just not getting into 4th? The AW4 has a long rectangular oil pan, the A904/A999 has a more squarish pan if I remember correctly. Let make sure we know what you have.

Maybe you can take and post a pic of the trans pan for us to ID for you.
