When in doubt, consult the expert. @Dan Brewer

@19DART66 Can you elaborate on this magnificent shifting apparatus? How about some better pictures of the front lever.

YAHTZEE!

True, it will be a little different now but I ran through the gears a few times just sitting in the garage and it wasn’t too bad. I wrapped my thumb around the main stick while pulling up on the trigger and pushing forward into 1st. Somewhere in the abyss there is a thread where someone...

I’d love to run a pro-shift trans but this is primarily a street car and I’m not sure the Liberty set would be enjoyable around town. On the track? Hell yeah.

I’ve been wanting to try something different on my Hurst V-Gate. Was using a good ‘ol t-handle but I just can’t leave well enough alone so I started searching for pistol grip handles. The V-Gate is a little different because you can’t swap out the handle to use a real pistol grip so I had to...

Solved! Took the fork pivot out to install a shim under it and compared it to the pivot still attached to my stock bellhousing. “What’s this?” I’ll be damned, they’re different. Seems that the one that came with the Lakewood is this one Brewer's Performance - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission and...

That may be very difficult with everything assembled.

Thanks for the reply. I think I’m going to make a 3/8” thick spacer to go under the pivot and test.

I’ll pull the fork out tonight and measure it but I’m pretty sure that since it was working before the bell swap that it’s the correct fork. The adjustment rod did not need lengthening because I was already using the longer one (I think the B/E bodies used it). But now it is almost maxed out on...

Thanks Dave. One thing that did seem suspicious to me is that when I went to reinstall the pushrod between the z-bar and the clutch fork, it needed to be adjusted wayyy out toward the end of the pushrod. Would that indicate the pivot bracket is too short? I could possibly add a spacer under it...

72 Duster, smallblock, A833, Hays Street/Strip clutch. So I had a factory aluminum bell on and swapped in the Lakewood bell. Before the swap clutch worked perfectly. Now I’m not getting enough departure to get it into gear. Reused same factory fork and the pivot that came with the Lakewood...

We need to come up with something to do every time an old thread comes back from the dead. Like when you played drinking games in our youth and there was a “social” where everyone at the table had to take a shot or chug the rest of their beer. Maybe every time an old thread is revived, there...

Narrow the e-body rear to fit you needs and buy some quality axles to fit. Money well spent.

Yes, I understand the concept. But how much time does the car spend under heavy acceleration compared to part throttle cruising? The shaft in those videos certainly is not under any heavy acceleration. Right now I have a .5* up pinion angle which I don’t like. My plan is to add a 2* shim to...

That’s what I was thinking as far as the angles go. .5* up static is no bueno. I’m thinking that the S/S springs and relatively low power will not create much more than a couple degrees of change under load, certainly not at cruise. So you’re thinking a 4* shim would be a little better than the 2*?

Vibration occurs at speed. Seems to increase with vehicle speed not engine rpm. At 100mph it is bad enough to shake the dust out of the headliner! I've already had tire balance checked, replaced drive shaft and u joints, rebuilt trans with all new bearings and tailshaft bushing. Wheel bearings...

Trying to track down the root of a vibration I've been having. Decided to verify pinion angle. Car is 72 Duster with warmed up 318, 4 speed, 3.91 8 3/4, 002/003 S/S springs, 28" tire. Checked angles with full weight of car on suspension at ride height. Currently transmission angle is 88* (or...

:popcorn:

^ This x10! I run 3.91s with a 28" tire and a non-OD 4 speed.. It turns 3k at 60mph and is a blast around town....:burnout:
