    Trans cable recommendation needed

    Almost forgot, I bought a new kit with all the trans arms and brackets for that shifter. I think it was around $35. The arm for Chrysler was the same one that was already on my trans so it was wasted money but at least I am sure everything is correct. Rod

    Trans cable recommendation needed

    Darter6, I gotta thank you for the great advice of running the cable across the right side in front of bell and then thru the bracket to linkage. That worked out well and the shifter works smoother and easier then it ever has. I bought the longest cable hurst supplies which I think was 5’. Makes...

    Trans cable recommendation needed

    So ive gotta ask a question. When using an aftermarket shifter they come with different trans levers. They only ever list the chrysler 727 trans and never say a 904. My Dart has a 904 and i used the chrysler arm that came in the kit. Its a Hurst Pro-Matic. There was nothing for a 904 in the kit...

    Trans cable recommendation needed

    I have a new cable on the way thanks to summit. It’s again one of plastic housing. Going to take some extra time and try getting a better fitment down on the side of the trans. That’s where it broke. May need to rework a bracket. There’s is very little room there to work. I have 3” exhaust that...

    Trans cable recommendation needed

    I have a 66 Dart, 408 with a 904 tranny. I’m using a Hurst Pro-Matic shifter. My first cable melted down from the header heat. So the next cable I protected with 3 layers of heat protection. Drove probably 500 plus miles all short hops. No more problem from heat but tonight the interior cable...

    Hurst Pro Matic shifter

    Iron racer, In the photo above you can see I have the shifter bolted down to the floor after spending lots of time taking the console in and out trying to position the shifter body so it was centered in the console and would shift thru all gears. I did not mount the console until after the...

    Hurst Pro Matic shifter

    Iron racer, I'll have to get you pics of my install. We are away now but will send when I get home. It looks great coming out of the console and I finally got it to work that I can use it but its still not 100%. I'm hoping to race it a few times this year and then I'll tell you if I keep it or...

    Hurst Pro Matic shifter

    i have a Pro Matic shifter in my 66 dart with a 904 trans. I am having a lot of issues getting it adjusted. My valve body is a standard forward shift. The first issue I had was the original cable melted down due to the header heat. I replaced it and this time I have wrapped the cable in 2...

    904 throttle pressure questions

    oldkimmer, i got to try the trans this weekend and heres what I found before I ran out of time. First I was able to fit up a turnbuckle that I bolted to the ear on the side of the trans and moved the arm all the way back. The pressure went to just over 125 PSI. I took it for a test drive and...

    904 throttle pressure questions

    Kimmer, when you say stub are you talking about the half moon of the shaft that the linkage arm goes down over and lo icks in place? If so yes and again the kick down lever is on and is in the forward position. Yes the first 1/3 of the movement is free but then you can feel it spring load as it...

    904 throttle pressure questions

    It's not a dummy shaft it is hooked up. Will making it full pressure create any issues in the long run. Rod

    904 throttle pressure questions

    Yes I put the lever on knowing I would have to adjust it. So are you saying it will do no harm to put it in the wide open, back as far as it will go. I plan on making a bracket and using a small turn buckle and pushing it back. How much pressure will that get me and will that cause any long term...

    904 throttle pressure questions

    Working with a 904 that I was told came out of a 71 duster V8 318. I had it rebuilt by a local here that does trans for lots of people and Ive never heard a complaint. Hes a racer and has been doing this for almost 20 years. So i tell him Im going to be running it with a 408 and give him all...

    rear housing

    Dave, im going to pass as the shipping makes it more costly then I am looking for. But again thanks for the offer. Matts440 and others that have suggested a dana, I would love to go to a dana, however as I stated in an earlier post i already have 2 sets of gears already set up in separate center...

    rear housing

    I have to look but I'm pretty sure I already upgraded to the 11x2.5 brakes. I'm just looking for a housing and plan on cutting my axles I already have. I'm sure shipping would make yours to expensive but shoot me a price to 17356. Thanks rod

    rear housing

    Here's what I have now. My wheels are 15x10 with 295/50R15 with 6.5 backspace. And my slicks 28/10-15 are on 15x8 with 4.5 backspace. They fit under wheel well (street tires) with about 2.5" of clearance on inside and just about 3/4" on outside. More clearance with slicks on. I'm not thinking...

    rear housing

    I want to narrow a rear end housing for my 66 dart which im going to be using a 489 center section. What will be the least expensive housing I can find? Its the one thing I wish I had done in the first place instead of using an A body rear. Believe it or not it keeps me up at night thinking I...

    Thinking about 4.10's

    Thats a great gear with an overdrive. I know this isnt a Mopar but my 72 vette has an OD trans and I run 4:10's and its a lot of fun in town or on the highway. I can run 70 at just around 2500 RPM's. When in town i never go into OD. To me its the perfect gear. Go for it! As was said earlier the...

    what gears ratio

    COunt the teeth on the ring and on the pinion and do the math and you will have your answer. I usually divide the wrong way the first time then change it the other way to get my answer. Math was never my strong point! Rod

    Seriously at my wits end

    I am wondering, have you verified that the leak is actually from the pan/gasket? I hate to see you chase a leak that may be from somewhere else. Its a common problem for the shifter seal to leak and run down to the top of the pan then drip from a couple of different places making it appear to be...
