To measure loss, it is necessary to measure transmission input power and output power, the difference is the loss. Horsepower is: The product of torque and angular speed. The formula is: HP = (torque in FT-LBS X RPM) divided by 5252. So the RPM and torque is measured on each end of...

Why guess? There is a dip stick, and a procedure to measure fluid level.

Might be the odometer gear drive teeth?

I worry about the zerk messing with the balance. The seals are good so the original grease stays in there.

I have had 66 Dart and 66 Barracuda at same time, both had the same linkage. They have ball studs at carb and bell crank linkages.

Did it survive the tow? Anybody know?

I think it has some to do with using the torque wrench at the weird positions working around obstacles. My wife helped by reading the scale. I need to get back into tai chi, it really helps.

It works! I have the Barracuda back on road running like new! The transmission shifts perfect, smooth starts, quickl shifting, kick down works properly. Gone is the low speed clunk when down shifting, the slight flare in engine speed when shifting and the slight flutter when starting from a...

I bolted a couple large sockets together to drive the bushing in and out. To drive out I used a socket that just fit inside the bushing and one that was slightly smaller than the bushing ID. Then to drive in, a larger socket was used such that it served as a stop when the bushing was fully...

I found this interesting video from Chrysler MTSC for the 1966 Torqueflite, it covers the changes from 1965. Mine has the changes, it still has the earlier, internal rear tail shaft grease seal. MTSC - 1966, Volume 66-9 The 1966 Torqueflite - YouTube Thank you all for the comments. I...

Bill, I also rebuilt a A413 for my sons Omni many years ago. It was a do in a hurry. I do not remember much except that assembly of the over running clutch was a pain. The A904 was much more friendly. Not sure about the double wrap, I thought that meant double wide. The Pictures in the...

I am no expert, I have heard that moisture can develop over time and swell friction materials. That can lead to a quick failure. I figure it is better to be proactive, and fix something before it totally fails, and is a mess inside. Part costs seem reasonable, so to renew is cheap insurance...

rlevs, I agree learning and doing is good. Fixing something gives me a good feeling. Some find repairs frustrating, I find them enjoyable. A hobby car helps, because it takes the pressure off. No dire no need to get it done, to get to work in the morning.

fishy68, Thank you for the response, I was looking forward to your post. I learn much, by reading your helpful posts. I did an air test and all seems well, however the front clutch made the least amount of thud. I found it interesting that the mechanical design of many parts including...

About 30 years ago I replaced the A904 on my 66 273 Barracuda with a used unit from another 66. The original transmission had about 145K miles and 12 years of use before me. It slipped with a chatter, in very cold weather going up a steep hill. I lucked on to good transmission at the time...

Levitation :) Spinning aluminum coupled with earths magnetic field.....

Please reconsider your thoughts on 67Dart273. He provides excellent resources and experience on electrical and other issues, and helps a great number of forum members. While you have prepared, there are many unexpected happening that include weather, other drivers. An experience driver can...

I seem to remember a Barris modified 66 Barracuda as a tow vehicle for a race car, in the 1966 movie Fireball 500. :)

If you have a large chain, use a lugnut to fasten to hub. Extend the chain 15 to 20 feet, let it droop then pull back a few times. Works like a slide hammer and does not damage threads.

As a kid I did a replacement in the driveway. The chisel works OK, the sleave expands prior to cutting all the way. I have also replaced using press that works too, you need a bearing spreader. Sorry I could not find part numbers. I remember it is a sealed bearing. The sleave installation...

I have changed these before. No C-clip, only pressed on sleave at bearing. Remove retainer, get to nut by rotating large hole in axle flange. When you buy bearing also get new seal. The sleave is soft and can be cut with chisel. To replace, heat new sleave in hot oil, drop on axle and tap in...

Might be the shift mechanism. Check the ball joints on the linkages. It is possible to replace the plastic with hiem joints. BTDT
