    still trouble with 2-3 shift

    I went in there today and changed the 5.0 kickdown to the 3.8. After 2 hours of crawing in trans fluid it does exactly the same thing ? NO different. I wonder if there is a problem with the valve body ? Once in 3rd it is fine. It stops the rear wheels dead for a split second then away they go...

    2-3 shift hesitation ?

    Another snap ring clearance question.

    I pulled the front drum out to replace the clutches, when I put all the new stuff in, I have way too much clearance. First off this trans never had wavey snap ring. It just had a regular snap ring in it , it had a 3.8 kickdown lever in it. I was expectin a 2.9 ? Back to the clearance issue, I...

    wave snap ring question ?

    I have read on several different web sites and also in a car mag I have (Mopar Action, Feb,92 page 56 ) about replacing the wave snap ring with one from a turbo 400 that is .060 thick. This is said to improve the firmness of shifting. Has anyone tried this ? Is it reccomended or not ? Also, if...

    Barracuda on Malcolm in the Middle.

    Did anyone see the 1968 Barracuda on Malcolm in the middle tonight. It had a Hemi Hood scoop on it and a 70 Cuda Hemi hckey stick stripe on it. Kind of slick lookin with the Hemi hood, it was kind of like my experiences, he'd fix one thing and another thing would go wrong. Oh , it also had a...

I thought it should do better than that, but being that the motor had at least 80,000 miles on it and...

    Went to track.... Need to fine tune it.

    Could only get a 14.6 , not impressed. Seemed to launch good, just was not making the HP it should ? Ran smooth up to 6400 rpm. Tried shifting at different rpms , 5500 to 6400 , kept running the same times. Going to try to degree in the cam, maybe advance it a couple of degrees, short times...
