Next Phase of my Mopar Life
I started working on the 489 third member last weekend. I was told that the cone style third member had been rebuilt but you know how that goes. Besides, I had to tear it apart to change the gears. There were some marks on the SG unit that indicated that there had been a problem in the past.
Rather than rebuilding the cone style SG I decided that it would be easier to just replace it with an aftermarket clutch style from Dr. Diff. He didn't have any listed on his website so I reached out to him. Cass said that he had sold 300 of them since September and that he had ONE left. I quickly snapped it up along with some 3.55 gears. They should be here by in a couple of days.
I've already sold the 4.30 gears that were in it back to the guy I bought them from. I'll probably try to find some cheap highway gears to add to the cone type SG so that I have a pumpkin to throw in for a long road trip such as Power Tour or a drive to the Nationals.
