So, its a drag queen?
Good one...So, its a drag queen?
Does that thing have casters or no?
But its small enough,easy to throw...
Unlike a dodge journey transmission
Hes been baiting most of his life

Hey bartender!
Plans include plates to mount casters. I put casters and jacks on mine.
Now if I can just get off my *** and mount a car to it...
Transmission is back in...
One bolt left over.
And its laying in the corner under the winch that tried to kill me a few weeks ago.

I'm a master now!Hes been baiting most of his life
Anyone identify if this is A body, B body, or what??
A body (probably FM or J body) aluminum case overdrive. (looks like from here)
Hey Mike....So with the rear mount shifter location it will/should work in an A body? Overdrive may be nice....
Ben Drinkin
Hey bartender!
Kind of odd to see the dual shifter mounts. Tailshaft looks like B/E body mounts.
Then again, It could be out of a truck for all I know...
Ben Drinkin
Hey bartender!
If it is the B/E mounts, There's a thread about an adapter plate to relocate the shifter for use in an A. Looks relatively straightforward.
Should work. I think you have to switch tour bearing retainer to match the bellhousing though.
That could be as well. The overdrives were used in 1/2 ton pick ups as well.
Just a local Craigslist ad.. $250 obo. Not sure either of us need or want one, but we know how that goes....
Truck, will work in a B body or E body.
I have never adapted one but I have one and have read a few articles about them . Use search here for more information before pulling the trigger. You need a torquey motor to make them work well. AJ/FormS has a lot of info about rpm splits with the trans ratios and different rear end ratios and tire size. They are basically a 3 speed with 4th being a overdrive.

4th/overdrive is kinda on the wimpy side power wise I hear.
You really need the right rear gear to match the tire size. If you don't go far enough with a performance engine, it runs too slow, so far below the power band that it can be a dog.

Surprised they put those in pickups. The old rule of the day on manual 4 spds in trucks was those nasty heavy center mount 4 spds with the non-synchro 1st gear
