According to the '81 FSM, body code plate interpretation,
line no. 3 code position 9 thru 11 is for transmission sales
code. I couldn't find any further delineation anywhere.
Maybe Bill Watson or someone else has a secret decoder ring.
Under the transmission section, three trans. are listed, the
A-904, A-904-LA [both wide ratio gearset] and A-727. The
225 cid sixes are the only units that don't have a lockup
torque converter. Says that trans. won't interchange with
V-8 trans. [Remember the FSM is for all rear-drive cars.]
[Wouldn't you think they'd be a different number then?]
Under the "stall speed chart" are the following listings:
318 Fed./Cal.= A-904-LA
318 Fed./Cal. H.D.= A-727
So, in this regard anyway, the FSM isn't much help. My
guess would be the A-904-LA.

Subject: IML: 1982 Transmission identification
| HI folks,
|
| Can someone please help with the identification of the
transmission fitted
| to my 82 imperial?
| The service manual list three, one is for the six cyl but
it doesn't clarify
| which one is used on the imperial.
| The T.I.N is unclear but may read : - CR1388_ _
| The serial no. is also unclear : - _ k1202729x 7374 6800
|
| Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'd still like the
answer anyway.
|
| Thanks Neil Thorpe
