This is what the Auburn 9 1/2” pressure plate looks like. It attaches with three 5/16” special shouldered bolts that Brewers has, referenced by 66fs above. The 10” Borg & Beck pressure plate looks like the one pictured in the post by Toolmanmike. I have done this swap in my 67 Barracuda...

I’m using 90 wt gear oil in my A-833 and it grinds first to second until the oil warms up. So when you say after a trip around the block it shifts normally first to second, could just be the oil is too stiff.

My 67 Barracuda was like that after I replaced the master cylinder. I have manual fixed caliper disc brakes. I found out I did not have the rubber ring on the end of the brake push rod all the way inserted into the master cylinder. I agree with the guys, I don’t think it’s a big deal but...

Well I’m single, but it was busy Saturday night.

Rusty are you talking about my girlfriend?

That’s the old Auburn style 9.5” pressure plate. You can “upgrade” to a 10” Borg & Beck style pressure plate (like the new one in your picture) and still use the 122 tooth flywheel. If you move to the 10.5” pressure plate, that requires a 130 tooth flywheel, different bellhousing and release...

The 1967 273 3-speed used a small 9 1/4" clutch. The bigger engines used a more standard 10 1/2 inch clutch which is what most V8 cars used in the later years. The smaller clutch used a 122 tooth flywheel with a smaller bell and release fork. If you put this back the way it was, you will...

In my 1967 Barracuda 273 I upgraded to the 10 inch “taxi” clutch disk from the 9.25” it came with. Jamie made me a 10” clutch disk with the 18 spline pattern. It works great.

In addition the 18 spline A-833 uses a larger diameter throwout bearing.

I'd tell Jamie Passon what you need, I'm sure this is not the first time this situation has come up. If he can build a OD 4-speed, I'm sure he can come up with an 18 spline clutch disk that will work with your car.

I have checked in to going to the 10.5 inch clutch setup. It gets expensive, bell housing, flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disk, release fork and z-bar are all different. I was trying to save money by just popping in the bigger pressure plate and keep everything else the same. Like I said...

No it's a 318. My car originally had a 273 but the block cracked and I just put a stock 318 in it. I changed pressure plates when I did the swap then pulled it back out again because the clutch was extremely stiff, popped that twangy spring sound when I depressed the pedal and was VERY...

Thanks 66fs. Yea, we had a great shop here but the man died in Oct 2014 and his kids closed it up. There is another shop in town but I have never been able to work with them or get them to listen to me. They have that "You don't know anything, we've been in business for 40 years" attitude...

I do have the overcenter spring up in the pedals. I have not changed anything out except the pressure plate and of course the disk itself. The car was a 4-speed and I just went from the old 9 1/2" three-finger Auburn style pressure plate to the Borg & Beck style pressure plate so I could use...

I have a 1967 Barracuda that came with a 9 1/2" clutch disk and Auburn style pressure plate. During an engine rebuild, I went with a 10" clutch disk and Borg & Beck style pressure plate I got from a clutch shop here locally. That new pressure plate is plenty stout and I'd like to replace the...

I had this very problem when assembling my Barracuda after an engine rebuild. I had used a new crank and the hole for the pilot bushing was not drilled deep enough. The transmission slid right in and the bolts were tight with no gap between the transmission and the bellhousing. But the...

Straight from the 1967 Plymouth Service Manual.

No problem on answering the question. I drive this car everywhere..... and I mean everywhere in the summer. It is a convertible so I don't get it out in the winter too much but when it warms up, I'm in it every chance it get. It's not my daily driver, but as soon as I get the daily driver...

I'm considering pulling the trigger and getting on the Passon A855 list. However, I'm running a 67 Barracuda with a 273, 4-Speed that originally came with the Auburn style 9.5" clutch. I rebuilt the engine and installed a new Borg & Beck style 10" clutch because all I had to change was the...

I think that bell is for a big block A-Body application. I believe the number is actually 2468372. It is going to have the 4.35 bearing retainer diameter and the 4-speed in your trunk looks like it has the larger 4.80 bearing retainer housing.

I'm by no means an expert, but are you sure you have the right release fork for your application? I have a 273 4-speed and the fork is definately shorter than the one that fits on my 71 Barracuda 340 4-speed. It seems to me if the fork was a little too long you would experience these issues.

Hey just a suggestion but I have a 67 Barracuda that came with the 273 2-barrel motor and it originally had the 9.5 inch Auburn style clutch. The 67 vans and trucks used a Borg & Beck style 10 inch clutch disk so I just bought the bigger 10 inch pressure plate and clutch disk and it works...

The bell housings are different. My 67 Barracuda 273-2bbl 4-speed used an Auburn style 9 1/2 inch clutch and a 123 tooth flywheel. The 318/4-speed combinations use a borg & beck style 10 1/2 inch clutch and 143 tooth flywheel. The flywheel is larger to accommodate the larger clutch disk and...

Also make sure the lever is not flipped over when mounting it to the transmission. Go back to that picture of the transmission hardware and note the enlogated slot that actually pushes up onto the shift fork. If you have the lever flipped over that slot causes the lever to be in a different...

Make sure those stop bolts on the shifter itself are not stopping it from going all the way forward. I recently switched shifters and found that was the problem with the old shifter someone had replaced the stop bolt (and jam nut) with a longer bolt so I was not getting the shifter to move far...
