"You cannot do this with any car built in the last 20 years."

The last automatic built that had a rear pump was the full size iron case torqueflight that was discontinued at the end of the 1961 model year.

Some of the aluminum cased TF727s still were cast as if they could have had the rear pumps installed, had the appropriate machining have been performed at the factory.

While the 727 was the last domestic automatic that had that capability, it was not the last in sold in the US. That would be the Mercedes 722 series, which still had a rear pump right up until the early 90s.

Hit send too soon - the 722s sold in the US that had this capability ended production in 1990, IIRC.
