That’s what I was thinking. Thank you

Id appreciate anyone’s opinions on putting the A833 in now with my 318 vs waiting to put the transmission in at the same time as the 340 swap, thanks in advance

Hahaha gotta do what you gotta do to get the ol lady to ride along!! I’ve looked into fixing the geometry for the clutch in my duster, called Malwood and asked about their kit , and it’s too much money and I’d have to pull the transmission anyways to do the conversion because I’d have to change...

Hmm. I don’t mind shifting often, but it sounds like your dart drove similar to how my duster does except more power. By the time I’m half way through an intersection I have to shift to second

I’ll look into that, thank you!!

Thank you for taking the time to write all that up for me!! I think you’ve convinced me to keep my current transmission until it either gets too worn out, breaks, or I get bored and just want a change. Math is certainly not my strong suit so I appreciate you breaking it down simply, it sounds...

A lot to consider for my upcoming build! I didn’t know that about automatic transmissions but it makes sense. I dont think parades are my thing, but I will be doing occasional short drives at highways speeds. What I’m looking to get out of this build is brutal acceleration up to about 80mph. I...

Wow, you are a wealth of knowledge. All of this sounds so far beyond me, I have zero experience with anything related to transmissions. I was honestly going to pay a shop to figure it out, but found a deal on a 340 engine and rebuild A833 so I bought both. I checked the gear ratio the way you...

Wow, this is a lot of great information! Thanks for taking the time to write all that up, I learned a lot. I need to figure out what gears I have in the rear end, and go from there. After reading this I would consider keeping the ax15, but reverse gear pops out, I would have to fix the clutch...

Hmm, forgive me because I’m no expert with gear ratios and transmission stuff so I’m having a hard time really understanding a lot of that, but what I’m getting is that you think the ax15 is actually not a bad setup for my current 318 or the 340 down the road? How would I go about fixing the...

First gear is way too low, it has a hydraulic clutch and my clutch pedal geometry is set up for mechanical clutch so it doesn’t engage properly, and I don’t think it’ll hold up to the 340 I’m going to put in the car eventually

Awesome thanks guys. I’ll give brewers a call.

Hey everyone, I need your guys help and expertise. Right now my 73 duster has an AX-15 five speed out of a 93’ dodge dakota and I recently bought a rebuilt a833. My car currently has an LA318 but I am going to put a 340 in the car down road. All the trans came with was the flywheel and the...

I actually just bought that book! I’ll check out the factory reprints, can I get hard copies?

Thanks for the warm welcome yall!
