Hi all
I have put an A518/46rh transmission in my Australian charger. I am having a problem identifying the 3 pin plug that activates the lock up converter and overdrive. I ordered one from these guys.

You can see the 3 pin plug on this page. When i went to fit it today it is the wrong plug. I used a mirror to take a pic of my one in my transmission.
Does anyone know if there are 2 different plugs or is my transmission not a a518/46rh. The casting number on it is 064-3
Was these transmissions ever released in a jeep as we have jeeps in Australia but thats about it for dodges.
Here is the pic
Cheers Greg

 

my brother and i have retrofit 2 518 tranies over the years the first was in a van i couldn't find a plug so i made one from electronics parts we have a really nice store for that i made the harness myself that plug doesnt match mine but that doesn't mean u don't have a 518 you know engineers they love to complicate things
the second is going in my 86 5th ave we are working on the mods now but the plug i found in a junk yard in a 2004 i think full size ram van i just cut it out and will install it with the trany i run two switches through relays one for the lock up one for the over drive

 

p.s i can tell u this the center pin is the ground the the rear pin is the over drive and the front is lock up oh yea all you need is a 12 volts source

 

It looks ike #79M would fit your connector. Can you discribe how it was wrong? Slot was on the wrong side? Pins didn't line up?

 

Hey Tim

This web site says
The center wire on the transmission is the hot wire and the two other wires are ground wires for overdrive and the lock-up torque converter. The front wire is the overdrive ground and the rear wire is the torque converter lock-up ground. Does this sound correct?
My plug on the trans has different locating slots on the side of the plug and the pins are in the middle of the plug. On the trans plug they are slightly off to one side. So if i cut of the locating slots the pins still wont lighn up.
cheers

 

I'm not that knowledgeable about the A518/618 trannys but I wonder if its the neutral safety switch? Although it doesn't look like one i've seen before. I'm not really sure about it. Only other thing I can thing of is that you need to find out what the tranny came out of and try to get the connector with some wires out of it if you can, or another vehicle just like the one this tranny came out of.

 

wow thats new too me i was running it backazwards im glade it didnt damage any thing

 

glad i saw this too!
