getting ready to put tranny back in questions

[carnuck]

Those parts are the same as Dodge 904. You said something about something oval? Did you mean the flexplate?

Ill get a picture, its inside the shaft of the bellhousing the two ears in there that the TC meshes against, they seem like they are broke now.

[84eaglelmz]

Inside of there there is two eear things that just move around freely now like they are broke.

[carnuck]

Yup. You broke the front pump. You need one from a 999 or 998 Jeep or Dodge to fix it (sorry. Sold mine complete for $50 as a core) That or find a 727 from an '80 to '91 full size Jeep for more strength.

Would a 904 pump work? And a 727 pump will bolt right up with no mods?

[carnuck]

If the back part of the original front pump isn't broken, then you can use one from a 904 and bolt that to it, otherwise it has to come from a 998 lockup compatible trans. (there are snap rings inside that need to match as well as the depth)
   The FSJ 727 bolted directly in, BUT you need to change the external linkage from your original trans (and position it the same so the shifter and passing gear work) and make sure your flexplate has the correct bolt pattern to bolt up. I put the flexplate to the converter with bolts on, then spray paint through the large holes in the plate in one spot so aligning it is a snap in the car.
   The 727 dipstick tube is a slightly different shape too (I couldn't get mine to stop leaking, even though I re-bent it)

Pull the old one out and make sure it has the same number of snap rings and oil holes on the backside as the one you're looking at.

[84eaglelmz]

Most likely its just the gear correct so how hard is it to change just the pump gear?

[carnuck]

Sorry been out with surgery to my shoulder and I'm just slowly getting back into all the websites I normally peruse. It looked like the whole front pump housing was damaged in that pic.

[84eaglelmz]

how can you tell that the housing is damaged? I think all thats broke is the part where the lugs attach to.

[carnuck]

Open it up and look at the back for cracks in the housing.

[84eaglelmz]

I need a slider hammer for this correct? I have one but it has a hook on the end and thats it 

[carnuck]

If you look at the bolt holes you will see 2 are threaded. IIRC it's 3/8" coarse thread. You screw the bolts in and it pops off.
