New build A833 18 spline with Gear Vendors OD.
Good evening,
I am now fully into the process of converting my 69 Swinger from a tired 23 spline to a brand new 18 spline transmission with Gear Vendors OD.
The new transmission was built utilizing a Passon Performance aluminum case, side cover and street slick shift kit. Gear changes will be managed by a new Hurst Street Super shifter.
At the same time as the transmission swap, I am removing the 30 lb flywheel and replacing with a 20lb lightweight steel unit, as well as turfing the McLeod RXT twin disc clutch in favor of a McLeod Borg Beck and Long pressure plate. By changing flywheel and clutch, I have reduced the flywheel/ clutch package weight a full 8lbs. The disc is from RAM, an organic disc with flat plate carrier having no marcel. Rear gearing is going from 3.23 to 3.91 as well.
Here are some photos of the project so far, as I progress I will update the post and add photos.
