I considering venturing where I haven't been before and rebuilding the
transmission on my newly-acquired 116,000 mile 1991 Imperial with all
options except sun/moon roof and "only" a 3.3L engine. The interior and
exterior are near perfect, so I think I'll make it my daily driver.
To rebuild or to buy reman? Phoenix is selling the A604 with a torque converter for less than $700 plus shipping. That sounds more attractive than a rebuild.
If I do rebiuld, should I order the Mopar rebuild kit or aftermarket? What additional parts will I need and which performance parts should I consider? Maybe a different shift kit. Yes, I'm willing to sacrifice comfort. If I want
comfort, I'll climb into my '64 Crown 4-door.
Most importantly, I need a printed reference with step-by-step
instructions. Should I go ahead and buy the entire CD-ROM manual? Is there
a manual specifically for rebuilding this transmission?
By the way, this transmission shows up as DGB on the fender tag, not DGL
as in all the references I've seen. Any ideas what that means? I called
the dealer and I called Chrysler HQ and they didn't know.
