Well, yes and no. A car that I bought had an overdrive shifter, I believe. It was a bayonet, they cut a little off the bottom and drilled 2 holes for the comp plus that was being used, but it was still bent wrong, so I took a torch to it and bent it up to the shifter that you want, but you...

I see what your getting at you think even with slippage it should maintain the same ratio, so slippage in your mind should be a fixed amount, no matter speed rpm power etc... Why would it be ? and obviously it's not.

Thanks ocdart - never thought of a 200-4R. What type of torque/HP can it handle?

do you suppose that part of the problem could be that with the double OD and 3.55's the final ratio might actually be too low and the tune can't put enough timing in to take advantage of the lower RPM and be efficient?

V8 Dakota 3.91 w/AOD is pretty much the tow package. My 2000 Dakota 3.9 w/AOD and 3.55 gears runs down the Hwy at 100KPH or 62MPH at about 1900 RPM. Yup heavy tow in the 1 ton with OD off but the revs will be up there. The New Yorker w/2.92 is good for a lux barge. That 413 just running nice at...

Lockup, yes- overdrive, no.

8HP70 out of a charger! Built in transbrake and manual valve body.

...needed there. O/D is the same unit between all models of this series, just different clutch counts. Between 4x2 and 4x4, the trans and Overdrive are the same, but the tail housing is shorter for a 4x4. If you are ordering a complete unit, then yes, You probably need to order a 4x4 unit. If...

I don't disagree, however tire height can play a factor. With a 27 or 28" tire, you can easily get away with 3.55's. Additionally, a 4 speed, or lock up auto make a difference. One thing about gearing without OD, it is a game of calculated compromises.

Classic car or any car .... ??? If a classic then a 4 door A-body (some rust lowers the cost) or 4 door Aspen/Volare with a 5.9 magnum. Something like this, offer 3k or 2800 cash .... 1969 Plymouth valiant · Signet Or really beat the budget with this for 1400 ... 1973 Plymouth Valiant

...anything over a weekend in a hotel room. It does have power steering, power disc brakes all around, a nice Bluetooth capable stereo, overdrive, as well as navigation. Just recently added AC. I wouldn’t change a thing on my daily driver. Everyone else in my family drives newer vehicles, and...

Thanks for the schematic, what's the NO tab on the vac switch? Before I started trying to set it up right it had the wire on that and not NC.

3rd ? od no lockup? gear ratio is actually still .69 with 200 rpms of slippage od and lockup? no slippage So ultimately there's only a 0.01 gear ratio discrepancy, which is probably the tire size your using not slippage. Edit* I just realize your not probably using the tires size and gears...

You guys talk about the use of a overdrive transmission, which one, what year?

I really disliked the switches being directly on the trans exposed to who knows what. I put an npt to compression union fitting on the governor port, and ran a section of cooler line up to the back of the intake and mounted my adjustable pressure switches next to the distributor so they can be...

...a 318 TQ, had 246k on it then caught fire. The other was at 306k when I last looked. Not sure what happened to it eventually. They both worked at the same place and had riders along the way getting there.... Both maxi vans and usually fully loaded. Think of the weight and no overdrive... :)

Yup, manifold vacuum. I set the vacuum switch on my A500 up, but found I really didn’t need it. If I want out of lockup and/or OD I just turn it off. The motor pulls good enough where I don’t need to take it out for passing.

Okay I got some pics and it looks like they're marked so that's nice would these switches be running off of vac pressure or the trans pressure?

I have a 833 I installed in an overdrive alum. shell. Not in use. It has the larger front bearing and I had an alum. bellhousing milled to fit. Can you use the OD gear and are 1-3 gears available that would stagger the rpm's more evenly? I know Passon sells a kit but starting at $3475. is steep...

Sonic test the 340 = It might be fine for you purpose. I would forgot the A8. Overdrive trans would be way simpler 500/518.

did it start right after an oil-change? Mine did that once ......................... Which led to a bigger cam, an overdrive and a deeper starter gear. I'ma thinking that mightabin a $5000C dollar touch. Make it $6000C cuz I think I installed a new clutch shortly after that, lol.

...I love some stock stuff but I like to update things where I can to make the car a better driver for me. None of these came with 5 speed overdrive transmissions or 4 wheel disc brakes. None had CD players either but we added that stuff to make the car more enjoyable. Sound deadening, brighter...

...Columbia for punishment! :eek: @Dart5150 research water pump pulley's for 64-69 cars with AC. I think the pulley's on them are smaller, to overdrive the pump like Rob said. Bouchillon Performance, down around Charleston sells reproduction pulleys, so maybe they will have what you need. You...

I have 20 or so small and big blocks combined. About 40 727s and 10 or so 904/998/999s and a couple of overdrive 518s. Kim

Just finishing my install of a Gear Vendors Overdrive and checking my driveline angles to make sure I end up with the correct specs under load. First photo shows about 4.5 to 5 degrees down on the output of the overdrive and about 5 degrees up on the pinion angle. I ordered some 3 degree shims...

it's been brought to my attention I accidentally installed the second shift rod upside down, this is a regular 4 speed and NOT and overdrive. thanks!

Yeah get improved shifting and overdrive gears out of the deal too.

Have you ever run your car down the track? What was the ET?

Well, my work schedule for today changed a little, so I made some more time to work on the Overdrive installation. I transferred the paper template to a thin cardboard (beer case) and took some more careful measurements with the centering rod and angle finder in place. I set it at a slightly...

And done with a gear vendors overdrive correct?
