42RH / A-500 in a Duster with pictures.

Here is my fix list-

1) Drop the pan and swap gasket for Mopar one.

2) Drainplug in pan while I'm at it.

3) Drain tailshaft by pulling speedo gear and epoxy housing.

4) Rubber hose on cable where it passes housing so it doesn't abrade when e-brake brake is on.

5) Shim mount slightly to raise back of trans, perhaps.

6) While pan is down, pull valve body and tweak to improve 4th gear apply. Good but can be better!

7) Add extra hole to kickdown lever to change ratio.

8) Pressure switch mounting.

Valve body is tweaked, tailshaft is expoy'ed and brake cable has a rubber line over it. Tomorrow the drainplug should be here and I'll have the pan back in place and road test. Can't really change the ratio much, the level has a big bend right at the end but I think I have it fixed anyway.

Have some scrap aluminum from work that will make a great shim, will be done tomorrow.

In the picture you can see where the case broke through, don't repeat my mistake! When the brake is applied it pulls the cable up real close.
