I've got the Lokar cable, too. No more adjustment hassles. Works great!

I've used the Lokar setup on two of my Dusters so far and I've happy with both installations. Simple and quick. Still adjusts using the basic method described in the FSM. Cheaper and easier than trying to piece together the factory stuff. Good deal.

Any U-joint that has a grease fitting needs to be "phased". That is, installed with the hole for the fitting under compression. That means when installed, the driveshaft/yoke assembly is trying to squeeze the hole closed instead of pulling the hole apart. If you keep this in mind as you install...

Your /six 904 bellhousing bolt pattern is different than a small block 904. But internally, they're basically the same.

When you can't do it yourself, you're at the mercy of others. But for that price, I'd be pressing for a better warranty. A good trans shop should offer at least two or three years on a stock rebuild. What about mileage? 24 to 36 thousand is about right.

When you start out in manual 2nd, the trans is starting out in 2nd gear. The problem occurs when you come out of the throttle and the tires hook hard. Like driving out of the water, and lifting just as the tires bite. This places severe loading on the rollers, and the entire sprag, as well as...

The Duster is an 11.50 street/strip car. 1.58 sixty foot times. 727 Torqueflite with an OEM front drum and a six bolt sprag that gets replaced during every freshening of the trans. And I do use a non-freewheeling, band apply reverse manual valve body, along with a Kevlar band.

Sealing ring wear is indeed a concern, but it is band wear that is more detrimental to an aluminum drum. The effects of shift timing and line pressure have more influence on band wear than does vehicle weight. Drum weight, along with shift timing and line pressure, all effect the quality of the...

Yes, the sintered iron front drum is a problem, but only when the sprag has been damaged. A damaged sprag is the root of the problem. Once damaged, the sprag can allow the transmission to overspeed. The overspeed condition can cause the OEM drum to fail, hence your explosion. And yes, an...

Replace the valve body in the trans with a standard pattern valve body. A stock valve body is all you need. If the shifter is designed a for reverse valve body, you'll have to replace it as well. You also have to replace the kickdown linkage from the carb to the trans. Try to get everything from...

I'm running a Quarter Stick in my 72 340 Duster but without the pistol grip. My car is a race car with a stock appearing interior. I wanted to use the console, but had to cut it up so bad I wish I hadn't done it. To center the stick in the stock position, the slot has to be cut a lot to put the...
