Hello all,
New to IFSJA with a recently purchased 1987 Grand Wagoneer. Purchased it disassembled with the transmission and transfer case removed, and am attempting to reassemble the pieces (and make sure the pieces I have work).
Long story short, the previous transmission imploded causing the purchase of another transmission from a local U-Pull by the PO. I have been told it came from another '87 GW, and unit has part number 'PK5359402' which is a 727, but of unknown origin (the AMC units aren't as well documented as the MOPAR ones). So I have a transmission from another vehicle, and the original transmission and torque converter are gone.
I purchased a new TC for the vehicle, but it came with an integrated starter ring gear on the TC. My 360 has a balanced flexplate with its own starter ring gear, so the TC I recieved is not correct. The one I purchased is for a non-lockup application, is 11" in diameter, has a 10" bolt center for 4 bolts, slotted hub and 24 splines on the input shaft. The unit would not fully seat on the transmission, would only engage one 'click' of the required 3.
After some searching here, it appears the CR54H is the correct unit (11" OD, 10" bolt center, non-lockup, 24 splines, 'high' stall). Most of these parameters are identical to what I already recieved - what were the differences between the torque converters/transmissions? What Grand Wagoneers used a starter ring on the torque converter, and how did they differ from the CR54H units?
Thanks for you help.
