When I did my clutch on the Barracuda, I went with the diaphragm style too. Wayne at Brewer's told me that if the pedal didn't come all the way back up from the clutch fork spring itself, he commonly gets a throttle return spring, or something like it with a long pull and mounts it on the clutch...

Which pressure plate are you running? 3-finger or diaphragm? I know when I redid mine, I was told by Brewer's that you have to remove the "Over-Center" spring from the clutch pedal as the diaphragm pressure plate will not overcome it and bring the pedal up. Also need to make sure the return...

Seems to me that I read somewhere that someone (I know,... pretty specific huh?!?) offered a pilot bushing with a smaller outside diameter to fit crankshafts that were not drilled to the full diameter. Seems to me that I read that NAPA carried them, but I could be wrong. I would suggest to do...

I've never run a hydraulic throw-out bearing, so I don't have the experience needed to advise, but I will say the .150" gap seems a bit large. Seems to me I was told to set up my manual throw-out bearing to have a .060 - .090" gap when pedal is up. Have you tried reducing that gap? The other...

I install in this order,... Flywheel, clutch disc and pressure plate (with aligning tool), then bellhousing. Then I take two bolts that are the same size, but a little longer than the trans to bellhousing bolts and cut the heads off and use a cutter to cut slots in the end of them. Reason for...

That had to be a tight fit getting up in there through the inspection cover opening! Nice job! I would have thought you would have to pull the transmission.

Burch is right,.... It should only bolt on in one location. If you look at the drawing in post #2, and look at the six mounting holes, you'll notice that 2 of them are offset, making them only line up in one position. I have the same thing on my 400 in my Barracuda. It would only mount on in one...

I believe all the 340 cranks up to 1972 were forged cranks and were drilled. What I don't know is if they were all finish drilled to accept a pilot bushing, or if they were just "Pre-drilled" with a smaller, shallower hole. I've seen forged crank big blocks that were just pre-drilled, but...

Yep,... the previous owner did it on my Barracuda. It's a 400 with a cast crank. There is a roller bearing that presses into the opening in the back of the crank where the nose of the torque converter would normally go. Then you have to cut about 3/4" off the end of the input shaft. Not the best...

Plan on about $4500 - $5000 for all new parts. If you have the transmission, that will save you about $1400. If you have the pedal assembly, that will save you another $300. I can't say for sure if the auto trans console will work for a 4speed. I would guess, at the very least, you'd have to get...

I could be wrong, but I have heard that the 727 auto transmissions in motorhomes will not work in cars. I don't remember why,.... It had something to do with the tailstock and the driveshaft. All I know is that there are usually issues. I remember watching the Roadkill episode where they got a...

I was going to suggest soaking it in Kroil. Didn't know they made "Aero Kroil" Might have to get some of that. The regular Kroil in the orange can is great stuff!!

What he said!!

Got some replies from the other thread I started on the antifreeze leak. Turns out the header bolts DO go into the water passages on the outer corners. I plan to pull the bolt where it is leaking and wrap it in Teflon tape and put it back in to see if it seals it up. May do the other four...

I got the new switch last night. I didn't drain all the fluid. The switch has an O-ring seal on it. I took out the old one and put the new one in quickly. Didn't lose much lube in the time it took to switch them. Maybe half a cup. I checked the fluid and it barely moved. It's just below the fill...

Local parts store had them in their warehouse and it will be in today. I will pick it up and swap them out after work today. Hopefully that does it and nothing else is leaking.

I checked Napaonline and they have them too. There's appear to have the same picture as the RockAuto picture, but theirs are 13.99. I agree,... if I can get it local, I will do that.

I haven't yet. I may swing over to Napa after work and see if they have them. I did pop onto Rockauto and they have them for something like $9.45. If I can get it local I will do that so I don't have to wait and can get it taken care of right away.

I would have to clean it off and watch it to be sure, but it appears to be coming out the very end where the two contactors exit the plastic center of the switch. I will check into getting a new one. I've dealt with Brewer's before for other parts so I can just check with them. Thanks guys!!

Reverse is working fine. I just got this car last fall and the previous owner didn't even have it hooked up. I think he was having a hard time finding the reverse light housings because they covered them over before painting the car. He gave me a set of the lights with the car, so apparently he...

Hi Guys, I had my car on the lift recently and noticed quite a bit of gear lube on the bottom of the transmission and around the inspection cover. I pulled the inspection cover to look inside the bell-housing to see where it might be coming from and it was completely clean and dry in there...

Here is the other thread I was thinking of that I mentioned above. Specifically look at post #15 Looking for help with 4 speed I.D.

It is Chryslers 10,000 Day calendar. If you do a search for it, it will allow you to put in the 4 digit date code (behind the "P833") and find out the assembly date.

The only thing that I could think of to explain would be this,.... What if the transmission was replaced sometime in late 1971 - early 1972 as a factory warranty replacement. I have read in other threads that some dealers stamped the VIN into the replacement part when doing the warranty work...

Per Brewer's Performance page: Beginning with the 1968 model year (July 1, 1967), the main case has a small (3" by 7/8") raised, machined rectangular pad on the passenger side of the transmission, just above the casting number. Along with the vehicle's serial number stamped onto it, this pad...

Yep,... According to the calendar, it specifically is May 14th, 1971. As far as a rebuild kit and source for parts, I would go straight to Brewers performance in Ohio. They have a ton of information on their website and have been very helpful in the past. (Link below). Click on the "Before you...

There HAS to be something because the first car I drove when younger was a 74 Dart Sport with a /6 and 3spd on the floor (from the factory).

Good point! The adapter plate must have already been mounted on my transmission when I put mine back together. Thanks for catching that!

If it's like mine, there is no mounting bracket. The shifter mechanism bolts directly to the transmission with two bolts. Console shifter handle has a different bend to center it up in the console better. If you have any trouble finding the parts you need, call Brewers Performance. They set me...
