I thought my thoughts were correct. Who knows how long it has been that way. I have had the car 14 yrs and never had a reason to look until now. Thanks for the conformation and reasons.

My axel adjuster is on the left side. To my understanding this is wrong. The rear is a 71 duster 8 3/4 in my 65 barracuda. After fixing the reverse wheel hop issue i noticed a slight vibration at about 3000 rpm and up. The axels do have more end play than they should have almost .020. I know it...

Well AJFORMS you are the winner to the sollution of my problem. I added a .040 washer between the pressure plate and flywheel and it backs up perfectly. It also takes off forwards better because it is not grabbing right off the floor. I even remove the 3.5 degree shim leaving me with still 2...

Here is something i have been thinking about. When i originally put the conversion in i used a ram clutch with the 3 fingers and trying to use a hydraulic setup. I found out you can't use hydraulic throw out and 3 finger clutch. So i kept the disc and bought the centerforce diafram...

Well i added the 2 degrees more this morning so now i have a down rear of 5.1. . I don't see much if any diff from last time. If i slip clutch i can make it work. Don't know what else to do. All bushings seem good, motor mounts seem good. If any of yall live in york pa and want to take a...

Ok so here is my latest and greatest. I reversed the shims and no have a 2.7 degree down. Test drove and 100% better but still backing up a slight up grade i get some shudder not quite the thud i had before. So now i have a total of 5.1 between tranny down and rear down. I have a set of 2...

I understand what people have been saying, it's just that i have read so many articles on this and got mixed opinions. Now that i understand mopar is a different animal i can try what others have been saying, down with the rear angle.

Honestly i don't know, it drops down about 4.5 inch. I would think it does since it came with a v8.

Motor mounts are correct, i actually had to use 2 1/8 inch shims under the k frame to get the oil pan away from the steering cross link so it would not rub the ooil pan when turning. I tried removing the to see what i might gain, only 1 half a degree. Car came with 273----a terd so i put...

Here is a question and food for thought. I read an artical strictly for mopar pinion angle and it states mopar factory at the tranny is set at 0 degree and rear should be 3 to 4 degree down. I get that and understand. I have tranny down at 2.4 degrees and no way can i tilt the tranny up any...

The tranny is a 833 OD , flywheel is nos for 360 clutch is centerforce diafram type. I tried backing off rear brakes no real diff. It's one of those things you'd have to feel to truely understand. Just don't know .

For the sake of being 100% sure i rmemove the pass side motor mount and it is all good.

I have read in different articles that the angles should be parallel for street and equally down for race. This is a street car. My 79 dodge warlock truck is 5 degree down at tranny and 5 degree up at rear which matches what i have read. So the mixed opinions is confusing.

For anyone who reads this i NEVER said anything about doing a burnout in reverse, this happens trying to back up slowly even slipping the clutch, so please read my original post!!!!

Will have to pull off and inspect.

It is a hydraulic clutch using a draw cyl. As for the motor mounts I'll have to pull them off and inspect. The cross member is the same for both auto and manual, rubber mount is good.

All i drive is a clutch and none of them do what i am experiencing with this car.

Can't raise tranny , almost touches top of tunnel now.

So much for serious answers to a serious problem. There are no burn outs. After putting it in reverse the problem occurs when trying to let clutch out. . I actually saw the wheels hop of the ground when someone else tried it. The articles i have used for every degree down the tranny is...

Ok years ago i did a auto to manual shift in my 65 barracuda. Ever since i have been fighting a severe thud and wheel hop in reverse. Under suggestion i changed leaf springs, no help. I have played with pinion angle. Best i have had tranny down 2.7 degrees down and rear 1 degree down and...

I had a cable shift in my 65 also before changing to a 4sd manual. If left in drive it shifted normal, i don't ever remember it down shifting to a lower gear while other than the gear i had it in. I still have it if any interest.

Thanks, i knew something was diff.

Thanks guys, i knew there was something different.

Do you check driveshaft rotation to tire rotation in an open rear the same way as you do a posi rear to determine gear ratio?

Ok I tried it and you are the winner in fixing my problem. It seems to be the opposite of most articles I have read But it worked, I am now 2 degrees down by flipping the 2 degree shim around tipping the rear down. thank for your suggestion. Sorry about the double thanks I thought this one went...

Ok crackedback you are the winning solution to my reverse thud problem. I had initially used a 2 degree shim to tip the rear up which helped but not fixed. So under crackedback suggestion I flipped the shim around and tipped the rear down 2 degrees. Don't you know it worked, no more reverse...

No trebling I did not look at it earlier and now that I have it has much of the same info I have seen before especially the block pics of tranny and pinion angle comparisons and what they should be which is where I am at--tranny 2 deg. down pinion 2 deg up. When I get this figured out I will...

Ok again, I need people to understand my issue is not going forward, just getting started in reverse. Going back to the beginning. After the tranny conversion I almost could not go in reverse at all due to the HARD thud the car made ( no shims at this time ). Adding 2 degrees on pinion up made...

Ok, I'm good on the load part but we have 2 diff. of opinions here. One is matching degrees up and down, the other is both down. I have read both down for racing but that is not my case, just street. Also my original problem as stated is in reverse not forward. Anymore thoughts???
