I have a full manual valve body in my 64 Sport Fury. When it shifts, it's so hard, it shakes the whole dash. Worse when cold. Worse on the 2-3shift. Any way to soften it up? Line pressure? It's a Cheetah VB.
IMO full manual sux on the street.......... I would convert it back to semi-auto with a carb-mounted line-pressure modulator, ie KD linkage; and the aforementioned accumulator spring. That will give you the best of both worlds, and your driveline will thank you for it, not to mention the fillings in your teeth.
It's very close to that.If the glove box isn't popping open your good
mine does, its aluminum and has a spring on it, I did that when I was doing a rewire and installing the hotrod heater and fuel inj., so I could get in to the dash easier and faster. (glove box door)It's very close to that.
^^^those are the good shifts but the real fun shifts are the ones where you got to go back home and retrieve a new pair of under underwear! That's the one we're second gear hits, but gets way way way loose lol and you barely bring it back in....Sometimes I have to retrieve my keys from the rear seat area, after a shift where the tires get a good bite.
Most of the time the bushings are Ok. For-sure get a shift kit, and probably a governor kit.Ok. I bought a core transmission for a good price. I'm thinking of rebuilding it myself. Keeping the throttle pressure. Maybe a shift kit. Any recommendations for a rebuild kit with all the parts included (not shift kit parts). Also, should I use a bolt in sprag? Who makes a good one? What about pressing the bushings in properly?
Car has a 440+.030, .515 Hughes cam. 750 race Demon, RPM intake, 3600 pound car, with 3.91 locker. Ran a best of 12.12@110.
I want to keep the performance, and to be able to manual shift when I want, but automatic when cruising.
