Factory produced 1983 trans, extra low first gear no. Four pinion planetaries maybe? Agree with Locomotion reading up helps. Also due to replacement parts often interchanged over the years you can really never know what a trans has on the inside until you take it apart.

Another common leak is the dip stick tube "o" ring. Can look like a pan leak because it will leak on to the pain rail area. Nice looking Lancer.

I agree with 66FS. Axle bearing are most common source of noise and vibration. Check those first.

Nice thing about those Vans is they often have a build sticker on the underside of the hood that will clearly state rear end type, gear ratio, and brake size. Also true for transmission type and engine family. Sticker reflects factory built condition and sometimes things get changed out over the...

I tried to contact them about a year ago to rebuild a set of engine mounts for an early 60's Imperial. Web site was up then but I never received a response to my email. Hate to say it but it seems, not that I can't say for sure, that they may not be.

No 7.25 rear end has axle retaining "C" clips. All 8.25 rear ends do. As long as replacement rear is 5 lug x 4" wheel mounting pattern and the OD of the backing plates are the same on both rear ends you should not have to change backing plates. If backing plate OD's are different (one has 9" dia...

Other than a date code, there are no "numbers" on a rear end they are not serialized to the Vin as engines and transmissions are. The problem of the replacement having the same issue is possible, more so if buying from stranger on Craigslist. But dealing with fellow FABO members should eliminate...

@ fuzzman - Based on your noise being on accel and decel, I'd have to agree with other posters here that it is a pinion/carrier bearing issue and not an axle bearing. Because 7.25 rears do not use the crush sleeve your changing of the pinion seal is likely not the cause of noise. Agree with many...

Generally if pinion seal wasn't leaking and it had fluid in the gear case grinding noise is often axle bearings, especially on 7.25's.

Based on my experience ALL "741" gear sets interchange regardless of pinion spline count.

Yes there was a 2:94 offered in the early 7.25 rear ends. This is the tallest (lowest numerical ratio I know of) that bolts in without any mods. I recently made this change after moving from the city to the country and am thrilled with the result. There is a 2.4? & a 2.7? ratio in later 7.25's...

I love my pushbuttons and would not give them up for the world. But as other respondents suggested, finding an older, aftermarket push button shifter is very difficult. The best solution, as others have stated, is to use the 64.5/65 "A" body floor shifter with the shortened cables from Imperial...

I would argue it doesn't matter what gear set you have or don't have. You are right that you need a larger gear to slow the speedo down. I have used a rule of thumb of 3 mph per gear tooth for decades with good results. Since your trying to correct a 6 mph error, I'd remove what you have (the...

I should add that the most common reason for this is drivers will use the park lever to select neutral from either "R" or a "D" position. Always select, or depress the neutral button specifically and then apply the park lever. Always, Always, Always.

More often than not the button has fallen off the push button assembly. simply remove the cover from the dash and reinsert the button into the two prong fork that holds it in place. Squeezing the fork back together will prevent a recurrence. However squeezing the two prongs back together is...

While you would feel a difference in performance, It is slight and only you can decide if the cost is worth the little bit of extra acceleration off the line. If your rear end is the Chryco 8.75 or a ford 9" purchasing a second dropout gear section set up with the gears you want, while sometimes...

Your existing 318 - 3spd flywheel is the correct one to use with the 318 OD 4spd bellhousing so you do not need to purchase one. Both use the 130 tooth flywheel. Nearly all slant 6's used a 122 (not 124) tooth flywheel creating the need for a different flywheel when doing a conversion from a 6...

My interpretation from reading it was the 4 million spent to buy the Muncie transmission stuff. Seems he overpaid based on real sales volume after purchase. He now seeks to separate assets from the liabilities. Business can be very tricky. It can be difficult to keep a small but good thing going...

if the rod is there rotate it. If it has a spring back feeling it is not a manual valve body. If you move it and it does not spring back you have either a manual valve body or a broken standard valve body. As another poster suggested, while driving around without throttle pressure linkage can...

Having to use epoxy to repair these is seldom necessary. As VDART suggested gently (and gently cannot be emphasized enough as they are so east to break) squeezing the forks that the buttons attach to is the best solution. Given your Oregon address I find it highly unlikely your buttons have...

If your quite sure both rears are '72's and both were US built then they should have the same axle bearings. New axle bearings will generally fix the growl you speak of. If you are willing to pull the axle and expose the bearing you can grip the outer shell and move it side to side (toward the...

Most of those numbers with the "c" prefix are casting numbers used at the foundry and not part numbers. the 0 22 2 is a build date for this trans, october 22, 1972 (novemder=A, DEC=B) the pp833 indicates it is an a-833 trans, I'm lost on the pp part. Best ID info is visual. Long tailshaft with...

I believe moser has "c" clip eliminator packages. Interested in the PDF file also which can be sent to tepidoratoratyahoodotcom. West coasters have the advantage of good parts supply in the self serve junkyards that rotate their stock every two weeks or so (less here in Tucson). Have any of you...

The easiest way to tell if its a "push botton" transmission is to look at your front driveshaft yoke where it mates to the back of the trans. All late style 904's (non push button) used the slip yoke design. All the early "push button" tranny's used a (4) bolt flange to attach the ball and...

A locker or sure-grip, in my opinion, are the better choices since both allow the axles to turn at a different rotational speeds when going around corners. A spool does not allow this type function. I have driven a spool on the street, as well as cars with welded spider gears (the dirt poor mans...

F-body housings and axles are not the same as A-body. They are oh so close, but not the same and not interchangeable. Its not that difficult to use F-body rears in A-bodies due to the minor difference in the spring perch centerlines you mentioned. But A-body axles are unique in overall...

The real question is which tranny you actually have in the car. If your car still has the 66 and later style trans but with a push button shifter rigged to it then you have no problem. Just trash the rigged push button mechanism and use your hurst shifter since it was made for the late style...
