Well thanks a bunch . . . . I'll let the weather stabilize a few more weeks and tackle it, hope to make some progress. I appreciate the offer on the spring, I may be taking you up on that. I'll keep this thread updated so you guys can keep me from destroying anything. Thanks my friend :)

I pretty much understood what you said, I was just clarifying that it wasn't a monstrous metallic "clunk" but an aggressive transition. I most definitely would like to "de"-shift kit the valve body/trans and return to stock. Next will be the damn shifter. lol. Thanks for your help. :)

Ok, I will. Thanks

LOL . . I just love the part where you said "simple" possibilities . . . . :)

I understand your point . . . but this is not so much about a "clunk" as it is about a "harsh engagement". There is no smooth transition. There is no transition. I'm 66 and have driven a few older cars when they weren't old yet. But this is way more aggressive than normal for a drive train of...

Just so I am reading this right, you are saying that the someone who installed a "shift kit" in my trans may have removed the accumulator spring and installed a blocker rod, correct? Just checking, in case I get in that far.

I guess I'll start with the easy stuff as Bad Sport mentioned. I'll check the universals again. The car doesn't want to idle below 750-800, likes to stall. I would like to get it down to 600-650 if possible. But I believe that if I get the idle down, it will still have a pretty harsh...

Hi guys . . . . I'm the guy who needs direction. My 73 Dart Swinger has been a "work in progress". It's a 383, 727, 8 3/4 rear 3.91. I'm an ole guy, 66, just tryin' to get the Dart to be a reliable cruiser. She has a HURST VMatic shifter (which I hate, and it may be going this summer)...

Thank you Sir . . . . . Rog

I have a cracked trans pan on my truck, 2001 RAM 1500. Is there an easy way to ID the trans number so I can order one? Thanks, Rog

I did it Geoff on my front shackles . . . dropped the rear over an inch . . . I have SS sorings also :) the pic on my avatar is before I flipped the fronts

Hey Geoff . . . . Where can I get some specifics on the Helluva Cruise for this year? Like date, hours, specifics. I think my Dart may be up to it as a shakedown cruise. haha Rog

lmao . . . . we're finally beyond that here in Michigan. :)

Thanks guys . . I need a water blade, I have a shammy, and I'm good to go in the shade. Water spots were my concern, they don't come off very easy. I've use a leaf blower on a motorcycle, works well. Snake has the best idea by far . . . . lol. Rog

Hatrick lol . . . . Rocky . . . sounds like me . . . dirt road, well water. Yer talking a water blade being a squeegee? Thanks . . . Rog
