My '66 273 had a 10" clutch. Bought a replacement package, installed it, thought it had problems, so I bought another from Brewer's Transmissions. After a phone call to Brewers about adjustments, I learned it was me who F'd up. I sold the first assembly to a FABO member. The clutch I have...

Mine was unpainted. I dusted it with a light coat of Rust-o-leum Aluminum paint before I installed it.

I am with Dave ... Re-read his posts #19 & #23. I had this same problem until a call to Brewers helped me understand how the over center spring works. Think of it this way: When you release the clutch pedal, the pressure plate fingers begin to “throw” the shift fork (and clutch pedal with it)...

Can’t we all just get along??? Thanks again everyone.

OK, think I’m good now. I loosened all cover bolts and disconnected the reverse lever at the cover. I was able to push the cover up. I tightened the two side shoulder bolts. I put the reverse lever back on, tested it out and got more good shifts out of it this time, but then it locked again. I...

Back from a nice wedding, and a birthday afternoon with my kids at a local brewery (Kudo's to Calicraft in Walnut Creek!!) Tonight, back under the car to check it out. And that wraps up today's lesson in Combinations and Permutations!

Found this on YouTube this morning. Unfortunately, I have to run up to a wedding this afternoon, won’t be back until tomorrow. At 12:15, the elf explains how to adjust the cover. (LOL, this filmstrip reminds me of sixth grade sex ed back in the day!)

Also, 66fs, the two middle outside bolts are shoulder bolts. The last time, I tightened those before tightening the corner bolts, thinking it would reset/reposition the cover. Didn’t work.:mad: One last thing: If I sit and shift continuously, I can go through the gears pretty well. If I...

OK, pretty frustrated now. Have done this four times, loosen ALL bolts about an eighth of an inch to where the fluid is coming out. I have punched UP the cover with a rubber mallet and I’ve punched UP the cover using the mallet on a punch. I don’t hear a “magic”click or anything. I’ve...

Wow, thanks for the wealth of opinions. The tranny was working fine when I picked up this car. Since I went into overhaul mode, I had a very reputable shop in town (owner had been involved in Mopar drag cars for years) tear it down, look it over, and reseal the tranny. He found no problems...

I set the shifter using this homemade alignment tool described in the factory manual. When this problem first occurred, I thought maybe the reverse throw was too long, so a backed the length just a tad, but it didn’t help.

Or maybe this thing needs some adjustment?

Well, hell, here it is in May, and I’m just now getting around to this. I did as Perfacar explained: Loosened cover (backed the ten cover bolts back about a turn and a half to where fluid started to seep out), put in reverse, then tightened the bolts. At first, reverse was locked again. I...

It’s almost a Saturday! . I will check it out tomorrow.

Thanks guys, I'll let you know how it turns out.

I will need to drain the transmission first, correct?

'66 Barracuda, A833 four speed, original New Process shifter. Car has recently on occasions got stuck in reverse, I get underneath the car and whack the shift lever to pop the reverse lever back into neutral so I can get it back into other gears. Last night, I moved the car, put it into reverse...

My ‘66 273 came with a 9 1/2”, went with a 10” from Brewers after reading on Toolmanmike’s 273 build. I used the stock iron bellhousing, fit like a glove.

:rofl:LOL! Rusty, your mind is in the gutter!

I can tell you it's a fine line when it comes to adjusting these clutches. I have the three finger clutch. The override spring PLUS the pressure plate combine to throw the pedal back, so adjusting the fork rod is critical.

Yup. Bought a clutch assembly from them, could not get the pedal adjustment right. I called them up and they explained how it's designed and I was able to get the adjustment right. Good guys!

Mine was Chrysler red, don't believe it was ever altered. I am the second owner.

Can't go wrong with Brewers. Good choice.

I went with a new B&B clutch from Brewers, pedal effort is the same as the worn B&B I pulled out, which was not that hard. I did not want to mess with the overcenter spring. It was, however, a balancing act trying to adjust it.

Brilliant idea Jimmie. A "You suck" to you for not posting it earlier. I did the gear oil gun underneath the car--not very fun!

Enjoyed the video, but too short!

Can also call Brewer's Transmission. He also has a nice online catalog. Wayne is very knowledgeable, has helped several members here. He even goes so far as to overhaul the pedal assemblies.

Any FABO members run a Borg and Beck style three finger clutch without an override spring? I pulled a shot (worn to the rivets) B&B style clutch out or my car. Replaced it with a 9 1/2" LUK assembly from RockAuto. Disc, pressure plate, and bearing were all a perfect match to the old parts I...

Show of hands, anybody using this thing on their car?

I just discovered my car does not have one of these. There is a small rectangular slot above the pedal where it probably went. I'm not sure how high my pedal should be coming up. It might help if I had this stop, found in Classic's catalog.
