    Automatic to 360/4-speed conversion

    Thanks for info, folks. Maybe ValiantK360 will reconsider the stick shift option. I have a 360 and 727 (was part of a package deal) for my 74 Dart Sport. If I don't bracket race it, I want to put a 4 spd in it for the street. The car has a clutch pedal; that's all I have now, for the swap...

    Thanks, JP. I figured someone must sell one. It's been a long time. lol

    Automatic to 360/4-speed conversion

    If you want it to be "as fast as possible", I'd consider using a 904, if you go auto. Much less parasitic drag. Lots of race cars use them. If you go stick, be careful when it comes to the flywheel, and more specifically, it's balance. I'm not sure if the 360 ever came with a stick. I...

    Passon performance 5 speed

    I can only guess that parts would be a problem too? Nice guy or not, you can't buy a trans (or anything) that has such shaky manufacturing.

    Passon performance 5 speed

    The idea of an overdriven 5th gear is great. Having faith in a company that takes 16 months to produce is hard to do. I'm not familiar with this trans. Does it have internal parts that are standard to the industry? If not, what happens when you need to rebuild it?

    Adapting a /6 Z bar to a big block

    There's been discussion on here about modifying a /6 z bar. I don't remember if it was for a bb or sb, though. Did you search the forum? bigblockdart.com might be the place to find out.

    What's It Worth? - A-Body 4spd

    I appreciate all of your responses. I'm selling some parts and the guy offered the trans in partial trade. I want to put a stick in the Duster I'm building, eventually. I have a good 727 w/ reverse valve body and a 9" converter. I think I'll turn down the trans he's offering, since I need a...

    What's It Worth? - A-Body 4spd

    So would I, russduane!! lol! Maybe I'll sell my 727 and the b body box and get one of those 5spd McLeods. =P~ $400, the high side of average, is good news for selling the one for the b body.

    What's It Worth? - A-Body 4spd

    The guy who has it says it's worth "at least $400" to him. I've had a B-Body trans for years. Could never get spit for it. My car's no resto, and I had a 69 Dart years ago that had a b-body trans in it before I bought it as a roller. Maybe I should just use the one I have.

    In good working condition, what should you pay for one these days?

    How to launch a manual on the street?

    I've always had the best results by "hating" my clutch. Hold it about 3 grand and slip the clutch while giving it more throttle. This works better on a sticky starting line than the street. When done correctly, you'll almost feel the heat from the clutch in your left foot!

    How does the Hurst shifter work?

    And; not to hijack the hijack, but I believe it! I remember seeing a mill sharpening machine work. Amazing howmuch is invoolved in some things! --Back to our regularly scheduled program--

    New bolt in 5 spd from Mcloud

    I'm building a Duster clone w/ a 727 because the auto came in a "package deal". My car has a clutch pedal and I hope this new box is as good as it sounds, cuz I want to put a stick in it, and I don't want to use the 833 that I have with my 4.10's. I could even use the 4.56's or 4.88's to gear...

    how much slip yoke play

    There's a special puller that can reach in and grab the bushing. It has to be able to clear the output shaft. I don't know what's needed to install the new one.

    Real world swap cost

    If you can do it w/o modifying (and lowering value) anything, why not? You just have to have it in your head that you might have to swap it back to sell it someday. IMHO, stick shifts are the only way to go for "relaxation and enjoyment". :cheers:

    8 3/4 rear clunk when brakes are applied

    Maybe you can duplicate the sound with it running, on jack stands. Get somebody in the drivers seat, while you listen underneath, w/ a "broom stick" stethoscope", if necessary.
