    4-Speed Swap Donar Car Question

    I would think the donor car would be as much like the car you want to do the swap to with the exception of the shifter and the floor pan most of the other stuff should be the same. You would want a 66 or newer transmission so you have a slip yoke not a flange for the drive shaft also unless you...

    Out with the Automatic and in with the Tremec 5 speed

    Ok so I have been driving the car a lot since I finished the transmission install and one of the things I noticed was the stock shift assembly from TREMEC doesn’t work for me it is very clunky and doesn’t like the 2-3 shift. I started looking around for a better shifter assembly and decided on a...

    Driveshaft for 600hp 4sp ?

    I just put an 3 1/2” aluminum driveshaft in my Barracuda with a 446 Hemi engine with Tremec 5 speed and 3:91 rear. It’s just a street car but I wanted to save rotating mass and weight.

    I had a 8" straight stick in the car to try in out but I found that I was pulling the shifter out of 1st and 3rd gear because my back wasn't back in the seat so I found this shift handle and it seems to work good as far as the height but the shifter throw is to long so now I'm going to talk to...

    Readily available 5 speed conversion kits?

    If you can find the manual pedals and the pins and bushings you can convert and automatic assembly over to a manual. But sometimes it’s easier to just find the manual assembly and swap it out. No one wants to break up a pedal assembly so finding the parts takes a little time,but a good used...

    Shifter threads

    Call Passon and ask them what they can do for you. If the threads worked before you sent it out they should work when you get it back. I'm sure the rechroming wasn't cheap, but that how some business roll they just don't seem to give two sh*ts about what goes out there door.

    The tunnel is from American Powertrain it fit my floor for the most part. One thing is they don’t have any type of template to help with the layout. So i measured back from the bell housing to where the shifter was and started with about a 8-9” cut down the middle to get started. I had replace...

    So after the power was back on at the house I could get over to the shop and keep working. It took 3-4 times of putting the transmission in and out to get the opening in the floor to the correct size, and the transmission went in without hitting. I do have to tilt and adjust the transmission to...

    Today was a good day I got the automatic out without having to remove at least one header. I swapped to pinion flange for a Mark Williams with the u bolts and a 1350 u-joint. Some how I just don’t trust the little straps and 1/4” bolts to get the job done. Tomorrow I’ll start cutting the floor...
