    A+E = Slap Stick Shifter for A-Body

    It works great. I don't have time to do the mods myself right now. This took me 30-40 hours to get it working right. I will have to see what pictures my son has since I did it for his car and he took all the pictures. What I can tell you is you will need a working E-body shifter assembly with...

    I helped a friend with his 68 Dart he runs a 8" ATI 4200 with 5.13 on the street from time to time can drive it all he wants and it doesn't seem to be a problem. My son has a 426 small block with a 727 8" ATI 4500 converter and 4.30 gears and it works fine on the street.

    A+E = Slap Stick Shifter for A-Body

    It took a while but I finally got the A body shift handle to work on a E body slap stick shifter assembly. It takes modifying the pivot point for the E body shift and adapting the shifter cable from the A body shifter and making a new metal shift rod to fit the E body shifter assembly. It...

    Sure grip and gear install

    Richmond Gear has a DVD available that seems to be good. I'm sure if you asked questions before taking it apart you would get all the help needed. One thing for sure is mark the caps before taking and thing apart they only work one way. I use a punch and make a mark on the left cap near the top...

    Determining Drive Shaft Length

    One more item is make sure the car is complete with interior and all the body parts in place. Adding weight to the center of the car after the fact will lower the car and could make the driveshaft to long.

    Posi Clunking When I Make Sharp Turns

    I’m not the guy that wrote it it’s just how it reads I’m looking to post the original TSB. I will say it’s how you start the figure eight and then change the direction. It feels different depending on how you start out to the left or right

    Posi Clunking When I Make Sharp Turns

    I soak the clutches in the Ford friction modifier before assembling the carrier. That's the only way I have found to make sure you don't have a problem. There is a service bulletin for the Corvettes and the Camaros about noise from the rear on tight turns and they call for figure eights both...

    8 3/4 pinion yokes and u joints ??

    If it fits your 10 spline pinion and the 7260 u-joint it sounds like it will work to me. Just check the driveshaft to make sure it's the correct length.

    8 3/4 pinion yokes and u joints ??

    I don't know that you messed you but Chrysler only used two different u-joints 7260 and 7290. The first thing is what size is the u-joint in the rear of your driveshaft ? And is it good enough to handle the power you are making ? Once you have that then all you need is a 10 spline pinion flange...

    67 barracuda drive shaft paint color ?

    Its all good. I had a customer with a 69 Nova with a 283 in it and the drive shaft was a little rusty according to him but he sanded the surface and painted it to make it look better. Going do the highway at 65 MPH I broke and half jammed into the floor and the other half came out and hit...

    67 barracuda drive shaft paint color ?

    The paint looks nice but the dent in the drive shaft doesn't look good. Make sure it's not bent it will fail. I think if the drive shaft is original and rusted real bad you may want to have it replaced. I can't tell you how many rusty drive shafts I have seen break with just normal driving

    Hours to convert to Manual transmission?

    I'm doing an automatic to Tremec right now which is a little different but 12-15 hours with removing the interior, changing out the pedals, cuttting the floor which is the most time consuming part of the job, weld in the new tunnel and brackets the the center console, reinstall transmission for...

    Vibration under load

    I would try looking at your u-joints. It almost sound like one is tight on one side and when you put a load on it it just can't rotate so it's being forced around. Good Luck

    8 3/4 gear setup for beginner?

    Richmond Gear has a DVD that maybe helpfull. I wouldn't trust some of the BS on You Tube. Also you will need some special tools for setting pinion depth or its a lot of guessing and thats no good. Once the gears are run in the wear pattern is set and you can't go back so it real important that...

    yoke change 489 case w/o disassembling

    IF IT WAS A NEW REAR AND NO RING GEAR YOU ARE ONLY LOOKING AT 14-19 INCH LBS TO TURN THE PINION GEAR ON IT'S OWN A CLICK TYPE IS GOING TO BE HARD TO DO MAYBE A LOCAL PARTS STORE STILL HAS ONE TO RENT BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE DEALING WITH INCH LBS ON JUST THE PINION BUT THE WHOLE JACK POT WITH AXLES...

    yoke change 489 case w/o disassembling

    YOU CAN MARK THE PINION NUT AND COUNT THE TURNS WHEN REMOVING IT BUT THAT IS NOT ALWAY ACCURATE BECAUSE THE NEW PINION MAY BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THICKNESS AND BY TIGHTENING THE NUT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SPOT IT MY BE TO LOOSE OR TO TIGHT. ALSO SO THERE IS NO REAL TORQUE SPEC LIKE 310 FT LBS...

    Pinion angle and drivetrain vibration

    The app is works with the engine and transmission in the car and all the weight has to be on all 4 wheels. You just need flat surfaces like the bottom of the oil pan or the back of the engine. With this app it should only take you 5 mins to find out were your problem is but if the engine and...

    Pinion angle and drivetrain vibration

    I know someone already posted on here about the app from Tremec that is used to check driveline angles. It gives you step by step directions. The first measurement is at the back of the engine or bell housing the second measurement is the driveshaft angle and the third is the pinion angle with...

    Pinion Shims early 7.25 for '62 Lancer

    THE LAST TIME I DID A 7.25 REAR WHICH WAS ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO I HAD TO MAKE SOME SHIMS OUT OF STAINLESS STEEL SHIM STOCK FOR THE PINION AND TO SHIM THE CLUTCH PACK IN THE POSI. IT WORKED GREAT BUT IT WAS SUCH A PAIN IN THE REAR. (I KNOW YOU GOT THAT) WE JUST TOOK THAT REAR OUT AND REPLACED IT...

    which is better and why forward or reverse pattern mvb

    which is better and why forward or reverse pattern mvb

    I have an A&A reverse pattern valve body and the reason for that is the band is applied in first and the sprag is not used so there is no chance of the sprag failing and causing the transmission to over rev and explode on the next run and yes high gear is all the way back and you can't get to...

    Will 11" bell housing fit in a 67 Barracuda

    I'm looking to do a Tremec 5 spd swap in a 67 Barracuda with a 440 in it for a friend. He has a Keisler bell housing and transmission my question is will the 11" bell housing clear the floor. The bell housing has both spots for the starter mount so running the 10.5" clutch is what I'm planning...
