    removing spider gears 7.25

    In my experience, the quickest way to remove 7 1/4" spider gears is to begin a burnout on concrete and move forward onto asphalt. The spider gear teeth will come shooting out of the cover plate.

    Is a 7.25 rear strong enough?

    The 7 1/4 is strong enough for your /6 with the upgrades you listed, even if you have a stick and pop the clutch off the line. What you don't want to do is start a burnout on a surface that has worse traction and then move forward onto a surface that has better traction while the wheels are...

    driveshaft angles

    Thank you, this is a great idea! Now that you pointed it out, it seems obvious, but I haven't heard of it before. I have been thiinking about how to measure side angle, and this solves that problem, and it's a lot easier than measuring up/down angle at the damper than at the trans output. Do...

    Here's a good video. I have been told by people I trust that pinion shaft angle 2-3 degrees down (from the engine/trans shaft center line) is good for a street mopar, and 4 degrees down is good for a street/strip mopar that has the front spring section stiffened, like with clamped front leafs or...

    Totally a hypothetical question ;)

    You are absolutely right, YY1. I have wired a transmission pressure lever in place when the kickdown was missing, and it definitely is "an art" because it is very sensitive to its position, so it is very hard to get it just right, and very hard get it to stay there after it is wired. To get the...

    727 transmissions are so complex

    Another possibility is, if you are near a community college that has an automechanics program, you can take an automatic transmission class and rebuild it in class. My friend did that with good results.

    t-56 swap details help

    Great job! Question: Does the original pedal return spring serve any purpose? It looks like it is just hanging loose in the photo.
