    Passon 5-speed

    Is it installed in your car? How does it shift? Was it worth the wait? Now that you have it ( and hopefully installed and you have driven the car). Would you buy it again or go another route? Don't hold out on us! We would like to know. :)

    I was lucky enough to find a Lakewood scatter shield that had a 4.8" retainer hole. They are out there. Good luck

    b-body 4 spd in an abody

    That is for the "B" AND "E" body transmissions..... That adaptor gets bolted to the rear most pad or the E body pad.

    Agreed. 500 city miles would take forever.

    I think I got the shaft here

    You say "your shaft" is 7" long and the one you bought is 8" long. Is your car already a standard shift car? The difference in length of the z bar shaft is from.... The longer one is for a slant six and the shorter shaft is for a v8 equipped car..... I believe! I hope this helps.

    Rookie with a 4-speed question

    +1. That spring is a ***** to remove in car. Be careful.

    Do I need an SFI bellhousing?

    Same here. I bought mine used, so , maybe new ones come with the correct ball stud.

    4sp in a 72 duster

    I believe the the tail housings will swap out. You will need to grind away the front mounting pad to clear the torsion bar frame. Cannot comment on the pedal assy. due to me not knowing, sorry.

    Do I need an SFI bellhousing?

    500 hp.... I would run a scatter shield. Hell I run one and only make 400 a the wheels. I kind of like my feet in tact.

    clutch question

    That spring helps pull the pedal to the floor. When you have a pressure plate that is heavy, it will help. The newer design clutch ( the one with all the fingers) don't need the extra help to depress it. I ask myself this same question but I have since removed the spring and the pedal is a...

    71 B-body bench seat pistol grip in an A-body w/bench

    No kidding!! I thought that the bend would interfere with the seat. I stand corrected.

    71 B-body bench seat pistol grip in an A-body w/bench

    I'm thinking it won't fit. B body's shifter mounting point is further forward than an A body. Well, it will bolt on but the bends in the shifter handle will make it awkward to operate...... If at all.

    Can a LongTail 833 tranny be used in an A-body??

    Does the transmission have two mounting pads for the shifter? If so, you are good. You will need to grind down the front pad to clear the tunnel framing. The rear mounting pad you would use with a home made adapter pad to mount the shifter to. There is another thread on this with a link to a...

    B-Body 4 speed?

    That is exactly what I did. Instead of shimming out the adapter plate, I bent it giving the adapter plate an offset. Works great.

    Output shaft end play

    Yea, I have a friend who knows these things in and out. I'm just gonna have him go through it while it is out. Thanks everyone for post so quickly!!

    Output shaft end play

    The play I'm talking about is without the driveshaft installed. I'll check to se if it moves with the driveshaft installed. Thanks for the tip.

    Output shaft end play

    Ok. Thanks. Just wanted to be sure it was normal.

    Output shaft end play

    Output shaft on the transmission. It moves around a little..... Just want to know how much is too much.
  24. 85glht

    Output shaft end play

    How much is too much? With the driveshaft removed, how much should the output shaft move "up and down" or side to side if you will. Just want to make sure I do not have problems. Thanks!

    leaky bellhousing??

    That should work.

    leaky bellhousing??

    Look right where the oil pan meets the block. My block plate rubbed this area enough to compromise the seal. I would make sure the block plate DOES NOT TOUCH THE OIL PAN!!

    leaky bellhousing??

    I had the same issue. Sucked having to fix it but it leaked just as bad as yours. Had to "nip" the block plate to prevent an encore event.
