I‘ve spent hours looking through the old posts on this subject, but I have found very little real first hand information on installing an OD trans in an early A. I am not interested in a Gear Vendors unit, or on information about 67 and up OD installs. Is there someone in FABO land that has...

An a500 or a518 will bolt up behind your motor with minor tunnel work and is a .69 overdrive and lock up. Driveshaft will only be about 2inches shorter

I put an RH42 (A500) in my Dart GT, and used the simplest controller - two switches. One activates the overdrive and the other activates the lock up. It was simple, easy and gives you lots of choices at higher speeds. Over time I have found that I don't even think about hitting the switches -...

This!!

They will, that's why I plan to put in an overdrive trans first. I didn't word that post very well.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive, from my hometown.

Personally..... Imo, I'd buy the lesser version of the 408, and plan on using the savings for a aluminum case 727. Better yet!... a 518 overdrive swap. (Find out what gear is in the 8 3/4.) You do want to drive this, yes? (I'd use the Iron two speed for keeping my trash can from flying down...

...because of the memories I have of my '69 340 Swinger from too many years ago. I'm also planning on 4.30 gears behind a 360 and a 200-4R overdrive trans. The 0.68 OD will make the 4.30 gears act like 2.92 gears when in OD. Just a suggestion... Several threads on FABO regarding use of a...

you didn't have to get the OD... woulda cost like $600 to change those gears to 3.91s...

Since I have the Dana 60 with 4.88's, I had to get the 4-speed overdrive. Over 7K :BangHead: Like I said though this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I can't take it with me......................

How hard is it to put a A500 or A518 into an A body with a small block?

My uncle had a F20 with a Chevy 6 and the overdrive. The thing was scary on the road. It would go 24 or so.

...the dogs name was Whiskers, standing in front of a 1953 Plymouth Suburban. Probably 1953-54. Flathead 6 cyl, 3-speed on the tree and an overdrive knob under the dash. Two door station wagon with electric windshield wipers. This would be my first car 12-13 years later. Wish that I had it now.

...GV in 2009 when this Hemi Duster was built. I would do it again, a simple toggle on the right front of the bucket seat brackets engages the overdrive for highway (over 55mph) driving. 29.75" tall rear tires / 4:30 gear / 2450 rpm @ 65mph....the sweat spot. The split shifting isn't for me...

I have read a few articles that suggest the overdrive on a 42RH can be rebuilt to be as strong as that on a 46RH. The larger part of this seems down to fitting more clutches and steels. It seems there are different thicknesses of these but also at least 3 different designs of direct clutch...

Hello, Looking for a Gear Vendor Overdrive unit for an A904 transmission. If you have one PLEASE contact me! Thank you.

I have the Passon 4-speed overdrive Hemi trans. Ratios, Stock vs. Passon OD Gear Stock Overdrive First 2.65 2.66 Second 1.93 1.59 Third 1.39 1.00 Fourth 1.00 0.80 Effective Rearend Ratios Rearend Ratio w/ 1.00 Fourth Effective Ratio w/ 0.08 overdrive 3.23...

This is a hard read for me; 1) Do you want to convert your trans, as in take it apart and install the overdrive gears? or 2) Do you want to drop your current trans, heave it into the back-40, and then buy/install a good used overdrive box? I mean reading your post, I think both scenarios are a...

2 actually. A 4 speed and an aluminum case overdrive.

They are I had a 66 with a 340 auto that was fun I have a 383 that I was going to put in it but I found the broadcast sheet it has the fender tag it has all of the original panels on the car so I'm just going to put it back to original and have some fun with it

Hello FABO, I am listing an iron case A833 o/d transmission with 308 front bearing (5.125” input bearing retainer). Includes: -aluminum slant six bellhousing with dust cover, -bellhousing to engine brace, clutch fork, fork pivot, seals -driveshaft (~56” center to center) I pulled the...

Making the drive tomorrow to White Haven, Pennsylvania near Wilkes-Barre. Picking up my new four-speed hemi overdrive transmission. :thumbsup: :steering::steering:

more mock up.....working my way to the back. Went with a Strange 9" w/ 3.25 gear. Originally planned for a Strange S-60 but the lowest gear available was a 3:55 this combo will put Butch at 1820 rpm at 70mph with the .75 overdrive engaged............@ 5200 rpm he will hit 200 mph. SHAZAM!!!!!

...it makes wayyy more sense to have a modern muscle car vs building a classic into one. I love my ‘67 with its am radio, and 3.91’s with no overdrive. It’s a time capsule. But if I want to drive cross country I wouldn’t even consider the Barracuda. As far as brand loyalty on the new stuff...

Fuel injection and overdrive has totally "spoiled" the younger generation, and to a lesser degree, us ..

I took a serious look at the GV for my Dart. Ultimately I went with a 46rh because the overdrive gear is way deeper and it gives me a lockup converter. Like jbc426 said, it makes it feel like a 5 speed with a higher stall converter.

...my 101 mile round trip to Mopars In the Park this year after spending some time tuning/jetting. I was really happy with that! Since then, I've added a GV Overdrive and my last 140 mile cruising trip, it came out to 18mpg. Planning to put 4.10s in the rear soon and will see what that does to it.

Looking for a 1976-1980 SB Overdrive truck bellhousing to put an 833 in my ‘74 W200. Also looking for any truck mount shift linkage and brackets for the 833. Thank you

You can blow up a parts store clutch with stock HP level. If you end up buying a flywheel and new clutch you’ll be a few hundred even with the stock replacements.

It’s not a real hard thump. I can hear it work. I will disassemble the front clutch tomorrow. Was just trying to avoid redoing it all again. I replaced all the servos. Doesn’t mean they’re good does it? Thank you for your help
