    Pick a clutch.....any clutch

    Good call on canceling your order on the rst/rxt twin disc from McLeod. I had a coustom built 9.75 one directly from McLeod. It was so I could keep my small flywheel & bell for early A body v-8. It was the worst shifting (trashed synchro's) grabbie'est clutch EVER! had it warranty'ed twice for...

    833 shift rod seal mod's.

    Hey fellas, a while back I swear I had found a company that would modify your stock a833 side cover. They bored it and instead of using the single O-ring to seal the gear oil in I thought it was bored for a better lip seal. Also though they installed needle bearings for more support. Ive seen a...

    Anyone used a McLeod RST Twin Disc dual clutch set up?

    im know of TST some of the pioneers of cummins diesel performance. Im aware of the twins being diffrent, a diesel pulling truck you're not shifting gears let alone trying to shift quickly. Slowing down 2 discs's (even though there most the time smaller in dia. then stock single disc) its alot...

    Anyone used a McLeod RST Twin Disc dual clutch set up?

    Do not get that clutch! I had one 9.75 twin rst coustom made to work with my 122 flywheel behind my hi-po 273. After sending it in for warranty 3 times for chadder on take off & stiff shifting. It was determined the 2nd "new" pressure plate was also warped. They have good customer service, but...

    1975 A833 od, any useful parts for non od boxes

    You can cut off the little tits, nubs or whatever you wanna call the of the (should be steel) shift forks & then use then in the early detent side cover. 1-2 syncro assembly should swap to up date old style 1-2 syncro assembly.

    Should I go with the a833 conversion?

    If your current 68 has a 904 transmission the shaft should be the correct length fot the 4-speed. But will need the yoke for the 4-speed put on it though. Yes you will need smallblock bell for a car & flywheel to match. None of the linkages from the slant 6 will work with v8 eather.

    Should I go with the a833 conversion?

    Go for it, but do your home work first my friend! Unless you have a pile of parts to start with there's no such thing as a "cheap" 4-speed swap. You'll need floor hump, clutch kit flywheel (uless doner had that too with the transmission) all linkages for a body & bellhousing possible drive shaft...

    welding on main shaft?

    So ive got some extra parts and 2 bolt on yoke a-body main shafts (i run a trunion style yet in my dart) that are in good shape except for some small rust pits on the bearing surface for the roller bearings that ride inside the input shaft. Anyone think welding them up & turning them down to...

    4 speed conversion. Help or hurt value of car?

    I say swap it! I just got all the bugs outta my 4-speed swap (mainly clutch issue's!) & couldn't be be happier with it! Ive always wanted a 65 GT hi-po 273 4-speed. I found the car that was an all original 235 hp 273 GT but with an automatic. I built the auto to shift when & how I wanted it to...

    pressure plate experts

    For a STOCK pressure plate it looks like brewers,or sorce one from old salave yard & have it rebuilt. I think pheinox friction was another sorce. Ram was the only one that ended up making me a hybrid disc. No one else would do it. Its easy (now) to tell if the p.p. is correct. Just place the...

    pressure plate experts

    Yes that is what ram had sent out. Seems they couldn't get that pressure plate here so it was out sourced (China) & they just added it to the disc they coustm made for me. There re funding me the cost of making the p.p. rite at least. Now McLeod has very nice people & good customer svc. but...

    When I did fleet work for sara lee the bread trucks were all eather borg warner T-19 4-speeds or nv4500 5-speed's. Almost everyone of them that i changed a clutch in also needed an input shaft due to the roller bearing pilot bearing grenading & trashing the otherwise ok input shaft. Every time I...

Also the pins & guides were JUNK & not lubed whatsoever! He swaped out the release finger that are a 1/4 inch longer & installed new pins & eye...

    pressure plate experts

    Ok took ot back to clutch shop & spoke with the owner. We have come to agree that the fingers of the p.p. are to short! They have a set of fingers that are a 1/4 invh longer that would put the contact pf release bearing perfectly center. Going to have them switch them out & make sure all else...

    No pop at clutch shop. It will not ever pop unless engine is revved up to 2000-on up. Yes it does have .060 gap when fully released. When laying under car my son will rev motor till 2500-3000 rpm & it will push back the release bearing hard & make kind of a quiter pop/snap. Let it retun to idle...
