Some day!

I am a retired RV tech, I hate working on crap, I hate flagging. I got all the tools too.When I go to the drags, I try to have it all in order, so I don't have to turn wrenches. If I break, I load er' up and go home.I have pulled my share of tranny's in the pits, with gear oil running down my...

Ha Ha Ha

Hughes will fix you up, good move. And they just won a new customer. At the drags,this guy that had spent a ton of money on a trans. (too much really) lost his new trans on the 2nd pass. The guy that built it was there,he just blew him off. He was building the car, the trans was a year old, but...

You need to go back to Summit. If it was Jegs, all you would have to do, is pay the shipping back to Jegs, they will send you a another new trans.free freight back to you. I am sure Summit will do the same. They are stand up company too. If you buy a lot, they might even help with shipping back...

Which B&M shifter? I had that issue in my Valiant when I installed a B&M Pro Bandit. The guy gave me the wrong gate in the shifter (I bought it new, un-installed off ebay). I had a similar issue when I put my wife's 727 in her Dart back on the column, with all the factory stuff. I had to drill a...

9"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Like what he says, point well spoken ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Quoting myself..... "I don't know what to tell you,all I can say about your HP theroy is, I didn't loose any HP, E.T. or MPH when I went 9". All I lost was worry about loosing my 8 3/4". "Back to my origianl point....You can keep dumping cash and effort, into a 8 3/4, if you really like them...

When you loose an 8 3/4, you will normally roll the sprauge in a 727 also,if not at the time, but eventually.So lets keep things staright about breakage.It's not just throw another pumpkin in. Ford guys use 8.8's because they are cheaper, and work well in lower HP cars,in stock configuation. All...

Loose HP?.... That's a new one.....I will let all the Top sportsman, Top dragsters, promods, and all the other bazzillion racers that run 9" diffs know that. Lets agree to dis-agree, bottom line, I'd rather put less cash in a 9" then a 8 3/4....did my time with those, and they did serve me well...

Great tech info, from someone who seems to have much experience.It was a little deeper explaination of it all to help the guy which is great.I was trying to keep it simple stupid. Funny thing about the flexing issue, you said exactly what I said, you just changed and added to the wording!But you...

The reason for the back brace is because as your car leaves the starting line, and your tires stay at the starting line because they are sticking, the housing will flex. When it does, the pinion trys to pull away from the ring gear. This is why the ring gear begins to chip at the outter edge...

NO No No Dana, too heavy,too expensisve,Too hard to change gears........ but I agree they are strong.

Yes, billet yoke you can get $100.00 ones on Ebay that work fine.Also 1320 joints.....742 case, it is something about the webbing in the case that works better.

Everyone will dis-agree with this. I only know this from experience in my 600 HP,3300 lb Duster, Grinner Brake,Ladder bar and 14 X 32's.If you run the 742 case (not 489), along with a back brace, it will live.The only thing is, as you know they don't make the Pro Gears any more. I always had...

Type F with 2 qts 10 or 20 wt engine oil, to help lube. I run a transbrake, so I service twice a season. Never lost a tranny/converter in 10 years, always freshen every 3 years just for safety.They always look fine.

Ididit makes a simple cable kit for about $150.00 Wish I used that before rounding all the parts up for $175.00...Summit and Jegs has it, or just google it.

Too Low for me: I have a 340 6pk 4spd 73 cuda with 3:90's 29" tire. It is fun to drive, but I wouldn't leave town and evade freeways as much as possible. My wife has a 71 Dart with 360 2500 Hughes converter, 28" tire, and 3:55's it is just as bad. Everybody was right on with the 3000 RPM's @ 60...

Wheel spacers are made in 1/8th inch if needed

430 spool in Valaint BB 6200 at the traps 1/4 mile 291/2" tire 430 posi in Dart SB 6400 at the traps 1/4 mile 29" tire

742 case is strongest, 741 weakest. 489 fine for street and under 500 H.P.See my post in other FABO posts.Same width, but small bolt pattern.Just get a duster, dart,demon, valiant drive shaft from one with a 8 3/4, it will fit right in.Ujoint may be larger or smaller, but you can get a big to...

Thanks Fishy68. They had like 3 miles on them total with each set up. I knew if they were wrong it would damge them, so I didn't drive it.That is why it took so long to go through all this, because I didn't have time to mess with it, and I didn't want to drive it.. They are just crappy gears.

fishy68 I knew that.I only ran them about 5 miles the 1st set up, no wear pattern when taken apart.That is why it took me so long to get this done, because I didn't have time to deal with it durning my race season.The car sat all summer, really ticked me off. Many people have had bad luck with...

The on going drama. I had a friend with a performance shop, give the gears another go.He set them up, and I saw the perfect pattern, guess what, they still whine like crap. So that completely verify's, Motive Gears suck, and they give you no help. Also remember,Richmond was bought out by Motive...

To pishta:, hey I use to live in Tustin! Motives are good for aggressive tread tires...it covers the whine! That is what I told the guy I bought them from, he was a 4X4 place. I said 4X4's are not going to notice the whine as bad. And thanks for all the feedback, positive or negative. I am...

Sad news I was told last night, that Motive bought Richmond....Guess I will look for a different brand. What are the best out there?Yukon,US Gear?

Sorry to be negative, but I don't want anybody to go through what I went through, you can see my other blog here: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=194608 After all this hassle, I realize from reading on the internet, and here too, that others have had this same issue...

Thanks super shaft, but i did go the other way, and it got worse.

Thanks, like I said, my 39 tooth was closer.Let me know bud.
