I have never had a Mr gasket shifter but it looks pretty close to a Hurst. I would have to mount it up just to see how well or bad they worked. I would say that is pretty old and you probably could make a few bucks selling it on eBay if you didn't like how it shifts. My gut tells me there is a...

If it is the shifter itself that is wore (not a loose handle) you can remove the bushing that the top mounting bolt goes thru and spin it around. This gives it a new wear surface to work on. If the shifter is excessively loose side to side. Remove a small amount from the end of this same bushing...

Wish I was close enough to give ya some hands on type help. Did you get all the gears to engage without the linkage rods installed. (Flipping the levers in and out of neutral one gear at a time?)

Go back to post 2. Get the trans shifting into reverse without a shifter installed. Forward gear levers need to be in neutral to get reverse to engage. Once you have all gears working without a shifter then install shifter with the centering tool. I use a drill bit. Install shift rods adjusted...

You can't run steel on steel without it burning up. Not sure why your new bushing would be magnetic. Get the mopar bronze part.

Best answer, no. Forget about it. Of course anything can be done with a torch and welder but to many reasons to list why you shouldn't.

Makes me think you may have the wrong fork pivot bracket bolted in the bellhousing. If it is at a different height or angle you would have adjustment issues. I had this happen on a lakewood that was previously used on a truck before I used it in a dart. Check fork and throw out bearing...

If it is the linkage rods I have seen two kinds of retaining clips used. A hair pin shaped clip on many factory Mopar shifters & a circular style clip. The hair pin style will rattle and the circular Hurst clips hold the rods with spring tension to prevent the rattle. If it is the shifter...

I believe that is a direct swap. Same style levers for the linkage rods. I like to drill & tap the truck shifters for adjustable over shift bolts before using them. Like the competition plus comes with. 5/16-24 Don't forget the jamb nuts to lock them in.

Make sure to indicate bearing retainer pilot true to the crankshaft within .008 runout. Pay close attention that the starter gear returns off the flywheel ring gear after starting. Seems they always need a bit of tweaking to get the starter working right Hammer the firewall to floorpan...

I don't consider a Borg & Beck Long pressure plate a race clutch in today's world. Although they did start out that way decades ago. It has always been my favorite clutch for a street or a vintage style race car. I myself will need nothing better for my cars until I can no longer press the...

Make sure it has enough gear oil in it. Don't use atf.

They have no longevity. Most would consider this mod to be damaging today. Face plating is better suited for the street and last much longer. Both methods are thought of as a racing mod only since they can only be shifted hard and fast once a trans has had this done to it. Built for full...

^^^^^^this. With the longer 70 handle it will likely hit the dash also. 71 needed.

Its got the Mopar reverse lever.

All 833s even the OD will work for you on the street if trans is in good shape. I have never broke any with street tires and always treated them very mean. You just can't get the traction to hurt them. If you do happen get a good plant the driveshaft or rear axle will give up first every...

360 Bell housing yes 360 Flywheel no Clutch yes 906 Driveshaft no Everything else yes

They do have shims between the levers that wear with lots of use. Check that the top main pivot bolt is tight. It can loosen up and make a wore shifter seem worse than it really is. Although not as correct as replacing the worn shims a person can file or grind a small amount from the end...

Its not a stock A-body bracket but it may be a bracket made for the super shifter by Hurst. Could be home built also. The super shifter has the same mounting bolt pattern as the competition plus. The brackets would have been changed in order to get the shifting rods in a straight line for...

Use 90wt gear oil rather than automatic trans fluid if you want it to stay a good transmission.

I won't dispute the guy repaired a transmission that was on its way out in that article. But I have never seen a transmission that needs this repair myself. I have a direct connection aluminum case that was made with the steel bushing so I would go along with the fact that Chrysler deemed the...

Unless the transmission has been beat on hard with many many miles don't fret it. Take a look at the cluster shaft pin bore for signs of hammering. It don't hurt to look at the schyncro's also for signs of a driver that never let's go of the shifter. Most show no wear that I have picked up. I...

The ramrod reverse rod is similar to the factory reverse rod and takes its path under the cross member. It does not need to be straight or as heavy duty like the forward gear rods since you dont speed shift reverse.

Your vertigate does appear to be mounted higher (better) and more forward (not so good) than the ramrod. The e-body guys have it good with the long tail and rear mount that puts a shifter in the perfect spot. A-body guys not so lucky with their mounting made to work with the bench seats.

I did close to the same thing you are doing now with your Vertigate but I used a 1971 Hurst ramrod. Used the correct Hurst mounting bracket for the A-body. As It turns out I would have rather chosen the shifter location myself with a homemade bracket. It seems low and more forward than...

Bell housing register needs to be aligned with crank. They were never a working pair and won't be till you align them. It is important. Good of you to check the input shaft for binding in the pilot like mentioned.

Well fed hounds. Enjoy the beach.

Would have never believed it without pictures. Not sure what a person would have to do to make such a mess of a transmission. Some extreme bell housing/crank misalignment occurred as a result of a totalling accident? Like driving off a cliff.

The only upgrades for drag racing would be a liberty gears faceplate and heat treatment job. Not a do it at home kind of mod. The factory service manual in as good as any as a reference of the rebuild process. Not sure what year transmission you have but the ball and detent side cover...

Starter mounting position on bellhousing determines tooth count on flywheel needed. Correct some starters mount further away from crank center and have a higher tooth count. Size of pressure plate and disc is determined by bolt pattern on flywheel. Clutch disc spline determined by input shaft...
