1969 Swinger 340
Well I haven't posted in a while, I've just been driving this thing a bunch, when the weather permits. So I decided to throw my mustang wheels from my Dakota on the car for a bit, mainly because I wanted to try autocross with a slightly better set of tires. Two days later, I found the limit of the transmission! I hit third at about 5500 rpm and that was it for that gear! A chunk of something has to be rolling around inside, it makes terrible noises when moving, but I limped it home on back roads at 15mph. I already bought another ax15 for $150 and will throw it in for now, but I may need to upgrade it if I want to ever have sticky tires on this thing! Hopefully next week I can start changing it out...
