mik -> What transmission do I have? (May 20 2007 23:19:34)
Hello all
Trying to work out what transmission I have on my 1989 Dodge RAM 250 van. I know it's got overdrive which makes it either an A500 or an A518 according to the manuals I have here. The only difference between them seems to be whether they have a "lockup torque converter" but I've no idea how to tell which I have.
I want to change the fluid and thought I'd check and adjust the bands at the same time but the required setting is different between the A500 and the A518 (again according to my Haynes/Chiltern manuals).
Anyone able to help me here?

The pan on the 518 looks like this. [image]http://web.archive.org/web/20050317085107/http://www.transmissioncenter.net/f1.gif[/image]

OK, it's definately an A500 then. Great, thanks for the info.

That was *very* cool :) Exactly the info I needed within hours of my asking about it. At this rate I'll have the van back on the road in no time! [:D][:D][sm=steeringwheel.gif]
Thanks again. I'm sure I'll have more questions before long!
