I have a 1991 Grand Wagoneer w/360 and auto trans. I need a new torque converter due to mine being groved and leaky around the pump seal. I am trying to locate one and no transmission shops seem to know what transmission it is. I know it is a 727 or a variant of that, but the transmission shops all ask if it is an OD or a lockup or a 904, or 727. And they all insist that the starter ring gear is on the converter itself. It's not.
Is this a standard 727? Or a 904? Or an a815? I don't think it is an OD or a lock-up. One shop tried to tell me that they used many different transmissions in that year and there is no way of telling what it is without seeing it. I know that is a bunch of crap.
I figured a transmission shop would know what I need, they don't!
I am sure that in '91 they didn't use multiple automatics transmissions. Did they? I am sure there is only 1 type of converter used in a particular year.
I would really appreciate any advice from someone who actually knows about these transmissions. Please don't write back and ask me to check a bunch of things on the transmission or shaft or anything. I will not be home for several days.
Any leads? James.
