You can use the original shifter [ shift knob is a black ball with s/s inserts { buttons } each side, right? ]. I have done it. I always liked the knife/through/butter feel of that shifter. I used that early cable shifter on TWO cars that had the later linkage shift. It requires some creativity...

Having a zero angle will cause rapid U joint wear because there is no relative movement of the U joint components & all the wear is concentrated in one section.

Burned clutch plates: I would be checking the clutch piston seals to see if they were damaged during installation [ nicks, cuts, rolled over ]...or if they have gone hard. Gone hard could be a before or after event.

Hi stall c'ters generate a lot of heat, so you need a large fluid cooler. Fluid heat is the killer. It hardens the seals, which then cause clutch/band slippage.....& smell.

First LA engine was 1967, after the demise of the Poly in 1966.

I had a clocking bolt come out of a mini starter, dropped into the f/wheel cover. Made an intermittent noise as described.

The transmission that will bolt up is most likely the 2 speed Powerflite. It is a heavy, cast iron case unit. The cast iron 3 speed TF will also likely bolt up. The crank flange should have drilled holes, not threaded like later cranks. The TC that fits these has 6 or 8 studs that stick out the...

My TG instructions also says: if fr clutch plates are worn, have excessive clearance & too many return springs, engine flaring maybe experienced shifting into high gear. Fixes: -adj throttle linkage for slightly later shifts & re-adjust fr band to 2 turns. - if flare up still occurs, remove...

The cupped orifice is mentioned in the TransGo instructions of the 1970s. Not sure if it is in current instructions. It is used to control the 2-3 shift timing.

My guess is worn bushings such that something [ a drum? ] is wobbling & hitting another component.

I think it is re-build time, BUT to be sure, adjust the KD band first to see if it corrects the problem. A shift kit will not fix a worn out trans & could make the problem worse.

Measure across the 'un'-swedged section of the hole to get the diam. Then buy a ball that size.... Looks to be 3/16" or 1/4", but only guessing from the pic.

Sounds like KD band related. Seals in KD servo or spring broken?

Manual low has the L/R band applied, same as rev, so it does not slip there, band adj should be ok. Otherwise, probably a valve body/stuck valve problem. Pretty sure the TF requires additional line pressure for rev operation. If so, a worn pump maybe the cause.

My Transgo TF Man shift kit instructions are dated 1976. Says to proceed with TF2 kit & use 1-2 gov valve included in THAT kit. Fig 11, p. 9 in the TF1-2 kit. Two types of valves are shown, both need grinding, no machining reqd in a lathe.

Only guessing here, but the TF3 is a full manual kit. I suspect the 1-2 governor function will be disabled in a man shift trans, so it's shape does not matter.

I don't know why you would think it is 'counter productive' while at the same same asking what does it do because you don't know.....

I use the 80w140

Plum, Yes synthetic. No additives reqd. I believe all Redline oils, greases etc are synthetic.

Might also try a different oil, one that comes ready for use with limited slip diffs. My car, also, has the cone type LSD, had a slight whine on coasting. Redline oil cured the whine. I know the whine was caused by gear noise, not the cones, just pointing out how different oils can make a...

Or drill/tap for a screw.

A small ball [ ball brg ] that fits?

600 rpm is a huge drop going into gear, no matter what the idle timing is. I would suspect an issue with the trans.

Was the filter clogged?

Bear in mind that a high idle speed can also cause N creep.

Pour ATF over them.

Cuda, I can see why people do it with the 727/904 trans. [ leave the linkage off ] Once the engine is modified, it can be a lot of messing around to get the linkage/ratio just right for part throttle shifting and the WOT shift. The GM Turbo 400 system is much better.

Unlikely that TWO engines would have vibration problems. I would be looking at the tq c'ter.

Yes, it keeps the fwd/factory pattern. From memory, the kit is designed so that it can be returned to full auto mode if desired. Clever piece of kit!

I do not know anybody here that does man VB conversions. Doubt there is a 'market' for Chrys. I have a GM car which has a T350 trans. I bought the man VB from Summit, who are great to deal with. It comes as a bolt in deal. Another option is a Transgo manual shift kit, that converts your existing...
