    Slant 6 & A833

    Yeah they have gone crazy in the last few years. Can you get the truck trans reasonable? You can use the bell housing and such, for the short tail version. The rear mount/ crossmember will be the same location. I believe there may be an adapter ring that you can get that will center that...

    Lets see those stick shift Magnum cars!

    Nothe " 5.2" is NOT external balance. Neither was the LA 318. The 360, both LA and magnum were but different amounts between them

    Small Block flywheel and clutch

    I've had great service out of LuK clutches over the years, most recent Dakotas and 4.0 inline jeeps. I bought one a while back to go behind a /6, and was mighty pissed at it when I saw " made in China" on the box..... I haven't gotten it in yet. Ones to strictly avoid would be the " perfection"...

    A body 4 speed in a truck. Can this be done?

    Clutch linkage location won't change a bit. Shifter location might a bit.

    A body 4 speed in a truck. Can this be done?

    Yeah I'd appreciate that, Dont remember, I'm thinking the fiberglass shifter hump thing is molded such that it really only fits (right, anyway) in one particular spot on the tunnel. I haven't gotten that far yet. In my case (don't want to take away from the OPs thread) I have most of what's...

    A body 4 speed in a truck. Can this be done?

    I put an f body 833 of in a 79d100 that started out as a 3 on the tree. I did it because it was what I had and was broke. I remember going to the junkyard and picking thru a pile of driveshafts and found one the right length, went right in. I don't remember what I did with the shifter as I do...

    Home made Hydraulic Clutch Setup

    I'm about to but I'm working on an 80s dodge pickup. One possible issue is that the clutch I bought is a 3 finger, as I couldn't find anyone who listed a diaphragm style for a /6.

    Home made Hydraulic Clutch Setup

    Iam working on converting an 80s truck to a stick, and I looked and looked and looked for info on matching up parts and components to build my own hydro clutch setup, and all anyone wants to do is to tell me to buy someone else's "kit".... Gee thanks. Not what I was after. A Dodge truck isn't...

    Home made Hydraulic Clutch Setup

    I wanted to do just this last month, and it's a black art. I went in circles just to get the answer "call brewer's and get a kit". I wanted info to help with figuring out what master I could pair with what slave, and got nothing but a runaround. Not only here but at 2 other sites ....

    Hydraulic clutch fundamentals

    I could do with what I have, I believe. Might need bushings in the Z bar if I stay with mechanical linkage. I did buy a factory-style replacement master/slave combo via Ebay. so if I go hydraulic, Im gonna try that first, and see how that works out. I do have a couple of these in used form as...

    Hydraulic clutch fundamentals

    Being I'm currently working on a truck, though I was thinking of going aftermarket because all I have heard about the stock later 80s hyd system hasn't been good.... does anyone here have any real world exp with the stock type hydraulics? Another thing is, most I've seen with a hydraulic clutch...

    Hydraulic clutch fundamentals

    While my particular applications arent an a body I have 2 projects for which I am wanting to convert to a hydraulic clutch. One a D150 and one an F body, both mopars. Both factory automatic vehicles. I have factory clutch pedals here for both. While I know that the Dodge trucks just a year or 2...

    Cleaning up a Hurst shifter?

    I should probably do the same thing with the Hurst shifter I just got, that's attached to an 833OD that's bound for my 85 D150 while it's out. Think it's out of an 81. I do have a question about the shifter handle itself/ I'm considering a ram charger bucket seat/console swap into mine, would...

    Clutch kit recommendation needed

    For easier pedal effort how about switching to a hydraulic clutch linkage instead of mechanical linkage? I've had several stick shifts and none were as stiff as my 78 D300 was .... The best one I had was the center force "1 step over stock" pressure plate with a factory stock disc that was sin...

    Cutting A833 Input Shaft Question

    The pilot bearing area may not be finish reamed for a pilot bushing but is it at least counter bored for one beyond the torque converter register? If it is you won't have to cut a thing.

    Zoom brand clutches

    This one I'm looking at is a 3 finger style. If I get it it's going into a /6 in a D150, not racing that. But if it's " new enough" so as to be after they outsourced to China then no can do. That's why I'm asking about "old" zoom product and when they got together with "perfection" and when...

    Zoom brand clutches

    Who knows what about them? I found (judging by pix of the packaging) quite an old zoom clutch, appears to be stock replacement, it's a 3 fingers type not a diaphragm. Of what I know of them, they and "perfection" are the same. Was this always the case? The last 2 "perfection" brand clutches I...

    Hydraulic Clutch Master Mounting Location

    Related question I have an 85 d150 that I'm looking to convert to an 833 od, has a 727 in place now. The bellhousing that came with my 833od that I plan on using, is out of an 86/87 truck, has the bracket on it for the factory hydraulic slave cylinder attached. It also has the conventional z...

    Tall gears and 4-speeds

    Well the newer dodge (automatics) are a double overdrive. On my '12 truck, 4th Is direct 1:1, 5th and 6th are both OD. 6th is actually pretty steep, seems like (if I remember right) are a .60-something ratio. So a low .7's probably won't be too bad for final drive on something like yours. How...

    Removable floor hump.

    Not all. The fiberglass ones were used with the 833 I'd trans, the 72 to about 77/78ish with the granny low 4 speed had a metal bolt in trans tunnel.
