I have a slant 6 auto tranny with cables from a 70 Dart. Will this tranny work in a 65 Dart?
This is a response to a PM that Vali68 sent me, but I think best to post here to close-the-loop, and I prefer answering technical questions in a post everyone can see:
Hello Bill. I appreciate your reply's to my threads.
I was wondering if you could tell me if this transmission is a link transmission or a cable transmission. I see there are 2 cables on the tranny and also see a place for linkage to hookup.
It came with a slant 6 out of a 70 Dart.
Thanks,
Definitely a cable-shift, by the fwd cable w/ round adjuster. The aft cable is for the park lock. The fixed rear flange mates to a ball & trunnion U-joint on early drive-shafts. There is also a lever input for kick-down above the shift cable, which is the same as later trannys.
Your tranny is for cars up to 1965, with a slant six engine (high starter mount). No idea how it came to be in a 1970 Dart or how they managed to hook it up.
You should close out your other posts on this same topic so you don't leave readers hanging.
No need. The cable that loops in front of the tranny is the shift cable. You can clearly see where it goes in the front driver's side, with the adjusting wheel (wouldn't you lever shifters like that easy adjustment?). It is even a good shift cable, that wasn't melted by the exhaust pipe like many are.... It would be better to get a side shot of the driver's side of the trans to see for sure.

Not in any way a fly by. I just been taken care of other business and had to step away. I appreciate all the replies. The guy who needed the tranny for his 65 Dart has found another source. But I will keep this info in mind when I go to get rid of the tranny that I posted in this thread. Thanks to you all for responding.
No go. The case is for a slant six only. Note the high location of the starter.I may need one for my 65 Valiant. Assuming it would work behind the 273.
