    Clutch advice

    I am currently removing a McLeod RXT dual disc ceramic diaphragm clutch from my Dart. I was talked into this clutch in 2018 when I didn't know a great deal about clutches. I can't stand it, there is no modulation, it is like an on-off switch, when it bites there is no forgiveness. These are...

    I'm in process with my build, so far customer service with GV has been excellent.

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    I am not trying to convince you that the GV is the way to go, or I made the correct choice, I clearly understand that is not an avenue you wish to pursue. It is for the very reasons that are stated in this thread that I chose that path. Both the regular A833 4 speed, and GV units are tried...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    Not specifically what you asked, but I was in the same scenario as you. I decided on a fully aluminum Passon case 18 spline 4 speed, street slick shift kit, and a Gear Vendors OD. My parts have just arrived, I am about to start the assembly process. I didnt like the ratio split on the...

    Best hydraulic clutch set up?

    This looks like a very nice setup, was just speaking to them about this today. Ross McCombs originator of QuickTime bellhousings works there now. Ross has given me outstanding service on my QuickTime products over the years, and still does. I am considering this setup.

    Identify this Hays clutch disc.

    Would anyone have information on this clutch disc, or perhaps could reference an old Hays catalog? Hays has been taken over by the Holley group and have no info. Of course, I realize it is an 18 spline, 11" disc with organic friction surfaces, I'm trying to find out if this disc has marcel or...

    Hays Street/Strip Clutch 85-301

    Clutch and flywheel have arrived, will be starting the swap in a few days. Hoping my Passon Performance slick shift kit arrives shortly.

    Hays Street/Strip Clutch 85-301

    The Hays clutch is on the way. For those interested, the static clamp load is 2004lbs. This will be coupled to a Ram 1503LW flywheel, which weighs 22lbs. While the transmission is out, I will be adding the Passon Performance street slick shift kit also. Slick Shift Kit I am hopeful that this...

    Hays Street/Strip Clutch 85-301

    How does it feel on engagement? What kind of pedal pressure?

    Hays Street/Strip Clutch 85-301

    I've tried reaching out to Ram, when they do not receive calls, and require email for service, I don't deal. I don't suggest their product isn't excellent, their customer service is different than I'm used to, I like a voice on the phone, can run scenarios by the tech person that way.

    Hays Street/Strip Clutch 85-301

    I realize this is an old thread, however I post because it seems since the first post, Hays isn't using the black bargain store looking pressure plate any longer. After reading about the quicker shift potential without the Marcel, I have decided to give one of these a try. In retrospect I...

    Thinking about a Gear Vendors OD. Can Anybody Give Some Guidance?

    Should you have any change of plans and decide to sell your Passon gearset, please let me know. How did you find the gear splits with the Passon setup?

    Pick a clutch.....any clutch

    How does one check for clutch departure with a QuickTime bell? When installed 5 years ago, I had a mechanic friend help me, this time I'm on my own.

    who here has converted from auto to manual?

    That would sure be a nice upgrade!

    A833 - gearing

    The only way to know is to pull the side cover and count all the teeth, then compare results to gear ratio charts. 1965 A body transmission would have been built with the 1:1 3.09 ratio gears. As was previously mentioned it would have been built with a ball and trunion rear joint, which may...

    Drivers/Racers - 4 Speed Driving Lesson Required

    Good morning, since you are using a smaller displacement engine with a short 3.31" stroke in conjunction with 360 (308) heads, it is going to need a bit of rpm to make its power. Of course this is dependent on camshaft profile also. With the upgraded intake and cam, I would guess a good...

    My Buddy just picked up this unit hooked to a 440, can anyone help identify what it came out of please? I ran the 10000 day calendar and found the build date is march 3, 69, has a ball detent style side cover. Thanks in advance. The 440 by the way is a 72, so we are aware they are not a...

    Gear Vendor and 833

    I can understand a company wanting to protect their interests, and investment. That, however would be enough for me not to buy their product. Not selling you an adapter so you can use it on either of your setups is brutal. Poor on the part of Gear Vendors.

    Hurst Ramrod shifter installed in A body.

    I like that, I might have to test my fabrication skills and see if I can manufacture a bracket to mount shifter in factory hole. I was going to sell the shifter because I didnt want to modify my original floor, after seeing this I am reconsidering.

    Hurst Ramrod shifter installed in A body.

    These help, thanks. It appears just some fairly minor trimming at rear edge of factory opening. Am I correct?
