    what is the best overdrive transmission for a Duster

    Man there is no easy solution. I like the gear vendors Idea if it were 1200 or less but 2800 is a bit steep for me. Found a 1999 dodge on CL and it has the overdrive transmission, the guy wants $650 for it but I also don't want to spend a week installing it. I think I am going to just keep my...

    Sorry forgot to mention its a 727 automatic. I am mainly searching around on Craigslist, there are a lot of wrecked dodge trucks and such that say the transmission is good but I don't know if what they have would fit my car.

    Mopar 8.75 posi. wont work. Why are there 2 rows of spline?

    Keep in mind I only backed it in and out of the driveway twice and revved it a couple times to confirm the driveshaft was spinning and hear the noise etc. I never drove it like this, just revving and slight movement forward and back. Do you really think my clutch is burned up? and how much is a...
