Thank you, definitely had no clue about this guy. I've already sourced this one and between balancing and resurfacing I'll still end up cheaper than a new one from him so I'm gonna continue down the current path. Not to say I wouldn't have gone that way if I hadn't already gone to the trouble of...

No specific measurements yet as I don't have a caliper but I promise I will get them when I purchase one. In the interim, if you have any simple tape style measurements you'd like, let me know and I'll do my best. That said, the input shaft doesn't appear to impact the crank and the splined...

Alright... Pressing on with this for the good of mankind (as well as general info for others who pursue these swaps in the future). I purchased an 02 Jeep Liberty 3.7L bellhousing, flywheel, engine/bellhousing spacer plate and an MA5 transmission from an 08 Colorado. The MA5 bearing retainer...

See, that's why we got off on the wrong foot, I don't even like cereal. ;) Anyhow, it's all good. Yeah I wasn't sure, makes sense that would be what he's talking about.

I honestly don't know what to say to this considering I just remarked on the fact people clearly aren't reading the thread. Unless I'm reading your statement wrong (which is impossible and you just wrote the wrong thing), what does any of this have to do with the NV3500 OR AX15? The title of the...

It's good to hear from you. You, Greg and Clair have definitely paved the way on this swap for me. I appreciate you guys trying something different and giving us all more and better options for OD transmissions in our old cars. As for the shift quality of the R154, it does seem to have a pretty...

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely keep that in mind as I'll have to probably make my own custom shifter to work with the center console.

That's correct Greg, Buschi340's build led me that way. Figured if it ain't broken don't fix it? He sounded very pleased with it as well from what I read.

Well, I do appreciate you listing some alternatives. I am familiar with everything you mentioned as I have followed the OD tranny market for at least a few years, throughout the development of Keisler's latest offering. Fitment-wise they may be slightly better, although cost wise I don't think...

I've seen that build actually, the MA5 in the Celica is what convinced me not to scrap the 5.7 and just push forward. I really wanted to put an srt-4 motor in the Dart but that guy has had nothing but trouble with that car and is still unhappy with his clutch situation, both performance and...

The more the merrier! I'm not really interested in relocating the starter just to use a slightly smaller/lighter flywheel, it seems like too much work for the payoff. The 11" will be fine and I can just make sure it is drilled for a 10.5" clutch. I'm aware of the different 3rd gear in...

That's a shame man, you gotta copyright everything nowadays! As for the MA5, I've been researching this car and my general build for years(10?). In all of those years, I've waited and watched new products come and go, few successes. I've been back and forth between automatics, manual...

The legend himself! Man is it good to hear from you... it seems like I've read reposts of your engine swap bellhousing guide on just about every single site I can run into. All of that aside, I'd be delighted if you could compare them for me. Am I safe in assuming the AX15's input shaft is the...

Well, since nobody seems to have any (other) thoughts I guess I'll just think out loud here... Based on some of the discussion going on over here, the 3.9L bellhousing from a 94-99 Dakota (pictured above) is the best available option for mounting one of these Aisin transmissions to a 5.7...

I'm very familiar with that guide... The individual who wrote it, Greg55_99, a member here amongst endless other sites from what I've been noticing, contradicted himself in this post(granted it was written earlier than that guide I suppose). For simplicity's sake, I'm hopeful it matches the...

From what I've read they apparently do LS1 conversions into Soltice's so I feel like that should speak to the strength of the MA5 trans. Not to mention that it originates from the Toyota R154 that is supposed to be a more than capable high performance transmission that drifters beat on...

Anybody done this? Know anyone who has? It's the 5-speed out of the Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon and the Solstice also uses a slightly modified version with a different tailshaft. Their lineage is with the Toyota Supra R-154's and they're supposed to be just as buff as well as slick shifting with...

Gonna try and put one of these in a 66 Dart. No attempt to steal your thread, should have it in soon to see the damage to the crossmember(Alterk makes this null) and hopefully very very little to the tunnel. Need to get my cherry picker's cylinder rebuilt. Thanks for the inspiration, you're part...

Alright, I figured steel would be the smarter choice, especially on the street, always hear that in every other situation(conn rods, etc.). One more question, only the 5 clutch direct drums used the wider 1.610 bands right? So even a modified 4 clutch drum couldn't use the wider band? Or would...

Noted. That would mean the steel 15* 5-pinion planet for the OD is more durable than the 6-pinion aluminum, correct? Another infraction? Thanks for your help.

I intend on putting a 42RH behind a 5.7 hemi in my 66 Dart and I see listed on wittrans there are both 4 pinion steel and aluminum planetaries for both front and rear. The OD has the option for a 15* 6-pinion planetary, which the only one I know of from my research is aluminum. Is there any...

I'm done screwing around with Keisler, Passon, and all the likes in between. It gets pretty old waiting around on empty promises and release dates. In my personal opinion, that's called bad business tactics, but whatever. I want to put a center console in my car to match the 66 'Cuda dash I'm...

Somebody gonna help this guy out?

I'm wanting to retain the electronics, I will be using the A41 conversion kit from keisler hopefully, but tunnel surgery is required for the early a's, although they do have a perfect fit kit for later a's.. how much bigger is the tunnel for 67 up cars? Is that good news for me? maybe just a tad...

I won't be running any 9 second passes lol, this is a street car. Going to have a 2009 5.7 hemi with a kenne bell supercharger on it hopefully. Looking for 500/500 at the wheels or more, but not over 600. 600 whp would be more than enough for a sub 3500lb car. It's got sticky street...

I'm going to use an aftermarket controller, so I want to retain electronics. It'll be behind a 5.7 hemi with efi, so the new technology is sort of a theme ;) I have no issues with running a 4l80e, they are unbelievably stout, but from what I understand they are bigger than the 60's and tunnel...

I was aware of the bellhousing from quicktime. I actually wanted to run the Keisler kit but they don't have a perfect fit kit for the early a bodies, only the later a's. That means I would have to manufacture the actual transmission crossmember as well as modify the tunnel.. how extensively is...

I may be looking to put a 4l60e in my 66 dart. Anyone done a transplant with this trans? How much tunnel surgery am I really looking at? I really wanted to be able to use a stock floor console, does it sound possible? Thanks, Ryan

I'll be eventually building an 8 3/4 rear for a 1965 dart on an autocross/road racing platform.. MO875 housing Mopar aluminum "742" carrier Axles??? Who's the best? Timken tapered bearings Gearset? Who's the strongest? detroit true-trac The plan is 500-600rwhp on boost(2009 5.7 hemi...
