1964 Valiant Slant 6 to 318 Conversion ?

Before you go crazy with an engine/trans swap and all that goes with it, find out what you're dealing with. It doesn't necessarily need a rebuild. Could be as simple as a shift cable being broken or out of adjustment, or any of a multitude of smaller issues. Did it work when you got it? Since you're not familiar with it, the first order of business is to have someone local that knows these transmissions take a look at it and find out what the problem is before you decide on a solution. Your wallet will thank you.

thanks for the reply it was working somewhat. it struggled to go into gear and it has been leaking the whole time also. as to finding someone local that is an issue no one around here that knows about these types or at least trust worthy. what should i look for then if a cable needs adjustment ?
