    Modern 8.25

    I think after 96-97 they went from 27 to 29 spline axles.

    Super-low Gear Ratio in a 7.25” Rear End??

    I had a 7-1/4 one time that had a 2.45 gear. I think it was out of a '75-'76 though.

    help identify this transmission. Supposed to be A518

    If it has a notch in the top of the bellhousing on the passenger side then it is for a magnum engine. The notch is to clear the crank position sensor.

    Automatic or manual?

    The only way I would consider switching to a stick would be if it was a modern 5 spd swap.

    2.94:1 gearset

    I had 2.94's in my 87 Dakota with an a998 trans. Mild built magnum 5.2 with the v6 converter still in it from the v8 swap. (2000 stall). 3800 lbs with me, ran 13.69 @ 101 with a 2.09 60 foot time. I really like it too, could hold 2nd gear to 100 mph. I shifted at 6200. Now I have an a500 trans...

    Pinion depth and preload , 742 case

    X2 The pattern is way off! I did the same thing when I put the 4.10's in the 8-1/4 in my Dakota.

    42RH / A-500 in a Duster with pictures.

    Do you have a list of parts and part #'s and where you got them? Thanks.

    A518 vs 727

    I agree! Especially since the install would be much easier on a truck.

    42RH / A-500 in a Duster with pictures.

    I'm curious to see how you have the o/d controlled too. I just swapped an a500 into my 87 dakota, but haven't wired up the o/d yet. Not looking to flip a switch on and off all the time.

    4 speed auto

    IIRC '96 was the last year the a500/518 trans had a hydraulic governor.

    8 1/4 sure grip... what year Dakotas?

    '96 will still have the 8-1/4. The spline count changed in 97. They should be 27 spline until 96 then 29 spline in 97 and newer. I think they still used the 8-1/4 in Dakota's past 97 also tho.
