I don't know a lot about Pacers, but I know they come with a "no honk guarantee".

My first wife had one one when we got married, always ran well but kind of sluggish and not good milage. I finally checked the compression, found the 5 & 6 cylinders had no compression. I though head gasket, pulled the head and those two pistons stopped about a 3/16 - 1/4 inch short of the top of the block. Strange but true, had to pull the engine, put in the correct rods and it was so much better after that.

I never verified, but my buddy had a 76’ and he said the trans was a 727 torqflite

Quirky little cars for sure, didn’t care for them back then, but like them now..

Won't answer a lot of stupid questions, eh?

Yes, AMC used Chrysler Transmissions. I don't know if it was 100% or not.

I liked them then, I like them now. Always liked the AMC stuff, right up through the end. Not enough to own one though.

Big door, little door, I'm in my fish bowl looking out at the world.
I believe they used the 904 in them, mileage was something they promoted with the car, a 727 behind a 4/6 cylinder was not getting good mpg.

More than likely a 904, but yes, from '72 onward AMC used Chrysler transmissions if an automatic. Starter was on the passenger side though, so they are not a source to replace one on a Mopar.

Yes, AMC used Chrysler Transmissions. I don't know if it was 100% or not.

After 1972, yes, 100%.

Here's my 1978 Sport package Pacer with optional 304 V8. Powder blue over captain blue metallic. 304 V8s came with 998 Chrysler transmissions. AMC called them Torque-Command transmissions. Six cylinders came with 904 transmissions. 360 & 401 came with 727.

360 & 401 came with 727.

Not all of them. I saw an Ambassador in a junkyard with a 360; the transmission was a 904. I wanted to buy the motor but the guy would not separate them. It was after that that I found the 401 in another yard.

Here it is after the machine work and our reassembly. I used the original intake to lower the motor into the Gremlin. Didn't want to damage the aluminum intake we installed later.

Once it was in we put the intake on.
