QuickTime use to make the right depth bells for the small block Mopars for the Ford and Chevy input lengths for the Tremec trans. but not any more. I do not think they ever made them for the Gen III Hemis but not sure. For reference the small block Chevy bell for the TKX is 6.29" deep, and...

Which TKX trans did you purchase? If you purchased the the Ford version, it has a 7.21" input shaft length. The GM one has a 6.71" input shaft length. this is the only two transmissions they make, no Mopar lengths. 833 trans have a 8.5" input shaft length, with a 7.3 bellhousing depth both...

in your first post you mentioned that you put in a dual diaphragm clutch in the car. Did you mean a dual disk diaphragm clutch? If so check the departure on the second clutch disk(closes to the trans). On sum of these dual disk clutches the disk will hang on the input shaft and keep spinning...

I switched the Lakewood bell out to a Quicktime bell when they came out with an SFI rated bell. That bell was with in the .005 run out, but I had to do like jbc426 said and shim the top of the bell out .010 to square it to the back of the block. Pays to always check all driveline parts.

When I switched my Dart over to 4spd 22 years ago, I picked up a used Lakewood blowproof bellhousing and all the parts and pieces to put it together. Well it was the worst shifting 833 I ever drove. Long story short found the same thing you found Kern Dog, but my was around .040 to .050 out if I...

CRUZE 418, the best way for me to explain it is when you flat foot the throttle and dump the clutch with slicks or real sticky tires and the car goes blaaa with a big bog and tries to throw you through the windshield and then a second later slams you back in the seat. then on the shifts you feel...

Thank You Grant for this write up. I have been trying to explain this to fellow 3 pedal racers and performance street car enthusiast for a long time, although not nearly as well as you just did now and over the years. My biggest pet peeve is the clutch that seems to be the most recommended...

My experience with Centerforce DF clutch is very harsh engagement, very hard on the driveline parts, and will break parts at high rpm launches with bias slicks. The cure was to take out the DF disc and put in a rag disc (organic disc for those who don't know the rag disc term) to get rid of the...

I've been driving my Dart on the street since around 2003 to 2011 with a slick shifted 833 and switched to a faceplated Jerico in 2012 to present. But I have to admit I have had a CDL license since the early 90's, so I was well rehearsed in floating nonsincroed transmissions up and down through...

It's a streetcar that's a little more to the drag race side.

My trans is a DR-4 wide gear clutch assist, the one with the top and bottom plates for access for tearing down the tranny. It is in a 66 Dart 2dr post.

Forgot to say if you use the 833 Quicktime bell, you can use all the factory clutch linkage, clutch fork and fork pivot. You have to clearance the tunnel in a few places to clear the Jerico. Mine had the thick finned top cover that did not fit the tunnel, so I made a new top plate out of 1/8...

Which input shaft length do you have on your DR-4 Mopar,Chevy, or Ford? They make all 3 in in the 18 spline Mopar, the length, bearing retainer and pilot bearing dimensions are different. If I remember correctly Quicktimes bell for Mopars for the Jerico is for the Chevy input shaft length. If...

This what I like in my Dart, pistol grip on a Hurst Ram Rod bolted to a DR-4 Jerico.

DC Dart can you give us a follow up on the TKX trans shift quality after you get your car up and running and drive it for a few thousand miles. My experience with Tremec transmissions namely the TR6060 6 spd is the synchro's are absolute junk, real notchy and feels like the synchro's are not...

On the first picture on the chair, the lever that's attached to the Mr. Gasket shifter looks like a 1/2 rod for A body, the one on the left looks like 3/4 rod along with the reverse rod all the way to the right for A body. The 2 shorter rods in the middle look like 1/2 and 3/4 B body rods. Most...

I disconnect the clutch linkage from the pedal, then remove the "C" clip on the brake pedal side that keeps the clutch pedal from sliding out. Then slide the clutch pedal out enough to clear the pedal stop, lift the pedal up and the spring will come right out. push the pedal back down, slide it...

I ran my RamRod shifter on a slick shifted 833 and now on a Jerico DR4 at the track and on the street and neither one ever popped out of gear when I let off the throttle. But I will say that both transmissions come out of gear with very little effort.

YR you are right it is a Ram Rod not a Vertigate,I have a habit of calling them all vertical gate shifters. But it snapped off in the same place, right at the bottom of the 3/8 threads.

I snapped my vertical gate shifter off the same way, took it to a guy I now who is an excellent welder fabricator. He cut the stick off below the 3/8 threaded part were it was a 1/2 inch thick, then cut the head off a 1/2 inch fine thread grade 8 bolt. Tapered The ends of both pieces and filled...

First question is how many owners of this car before you? Because it looks to me like the logical answer is someone converted this car from a 4spd with console to an automatic trans and console, and then it was converted back to a 4spd without a console( I only say that because that's not a...

Yes the same as my 2012 Challenger R/T 6 spd, with a 2.97 first and 3.92 rear gear(11.64) and even that first gear is to high when stuck in traffic. When drag racing with a stick car you want your starting line(first gear) ratio to be between 13.0 and 15.0 for best launch and 60 foot. I run a...

mbaird what first gear ratio do you run at the strip and how bad are your 60 foots. dano the quicker mustangs at the track all ran those transmissions with a minimum of 3.73 rear gear. Your cruise rpm and fuel economy will be based more on were your engine rpm wants to be, for instants I bought...

Question on the first gear ratio, with out getting into the drag race starting line ratio. Another reason for picking the 3.27 first gear for a streetcar is the lower gear will keep you from constantly riding the clutch at low speeds in slow moving traffic, such as getting in an out of...

Yes you have to make a shim to place between the fork pivot and bell housing to get the proper throw on the clutch fork. I made a 1/4 inch shim for my 66 Dart with a Long adjustable pressure plate. With the diaphragm clutch you may need a thicker or maybe thinner shim for your year and set up.

Check your pressure plate, I know Centerforce was using small ball bearings between the diaphram and the hat to reduce friction and they tended to fall out if the pressure plate went over center or close to it and make the clutch grab like you described. If only a few fell out the levers will be...

Check out some pictures of the WarFish SS/HA 68 Cuda from a few years back. A 4spd car that was setting records and beating up on the SS/HA class at the time. It had big Jerico decals on the rear quarters, and Super Stock Hemi's make well in excess of a thousand horse power. A Jerico DR-4 will...

In other words it would be easier to modify the shifter to fit the console, not the console to fit the shifter.

When I had my 3.09 first gear 833 done by Liberty they could only face plate 3rd and 4th gear. So I had them synchro first and pro shift second. 45 to 50 year old parts only last for so long though, so eventually I ended up with a Jerico Dr-4, I figured newer would have to be stronger, better...

I have never ran one of these clutches with hydraulic TO bearing so I can't really say what the set up is for them. But on my mechanical linkage I set it with 2 1/2 inches of free play at the pedal( I have 6 inches of pedal travel) which gives me .200 to.250 TO. bearing clearance and at the...
