Well thanks a bunch . . . . I'll let the weather stabilize a few more weeks and tackle it, hope to make some progress. I appreciate the offer on the spring, I may be taking you up on that. I'll keep this thread updated so you guys can keep me from destroying anything. Thanks my friend :)

I pretty much understood what you said, I was just clarifying that it wasn't a monstrous metallic "clunk" but an aggressive transition. I most definitely would like to "de"-shift kit the valve body/trans and return to stock. Next will be the damn shifter. lol. Thanks for your help. :)

Ok, I will. Thanks

LOL . . I just love the part where you said "simple" possibilities . . . . :)

Just so I am reading this right, you are saying that the someone who installed a "shift kit" in my trans may have removed the accumulator spring and installed a blocker rod, correct? Just checking, in case I get in that far.

Hi guys . . . . I'm the guy who needs direction. My 73 Dart Swinger has been a "work in progress". It's a 383, 727, 8 3/4 rear 3.91. I'm an ole guy, 66, just tryin' to get the Dart to be a reliable cruiser. She has a HURST VMatic shifter (which I hate, and it may be going this summer)...

Damn I am impressed with you guys . . . where did ya learn all this stuff?? Compliments to all. Rog

The important thing for sure is that you are ok. I too have done some classic acts of self destruction and mutilation in my years also. Last biggie was a couple of years back, I was installing ductwork for my woodburner in the ole pole barn. As I was carrying a freshly shortened piece of 8"...

some nice work there . . . hope mine looks that good when I'm done
