the 722.416 transmissions from '85 California certified 300D/TD/CD/SDs,
but they do have a high stall speed torque converters and the earlier
transmissions with a torque converter with much lower stall speed would
make the car feel REALLY sluggish and slow at low speeds.
Thanks Marshall; glad to see that I had the early/85 interchange
backwards. I forgot about the stall speed change. Wonder if the later
TC can be mated to an earlier transmission?
People have tried everything in the world to use the later transmission
or torque converter on earlier engines but they can't be easily modified
(even by really experienced/creative mechanics).
There are not a lot of '85 722.416 transmissions floating around.
Especially here in the midwest, alas.
