Speaking of auto manufacturers using proven parts from larger car companies.. Ferrari 400s used Turbo 400s for the automatic cars. A lot of the owners have now swapped in 700R4s...bolt-in. Rolls used GM trannys, alternators and A/C systems on their cars in the 70s. ...about the only...

It is not the burnout that destroys them..it is when the tires finally hook that kills them. ...don't ask how I know of this fact. :oops:

See here for rear end ratios that were available............. http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/DealershipDataBook/1965/65_Dodge_Dart0017.jpg

Propaganda. It is because of the de-arched springs and the reduced suspension travel. Some people said it was the aluminium rims. Huh ?? Some people said the tires were not rated for that kind of weight. Double Huh ??

71 Dusterdan, When the R/Ts came out in April 98, a bunch of people bought them because of the 5.9 and 3.92 and the tranny and P/S coolers. Then.... I start hearing rumors on the Dakota R/T Mailing List about DC 'revising' the towing rating on 98 and 99 trucks, and all subsequent R/Ts, to...

YY1, You know you aren't supposed to tow with an R/T, don't you?

Key words here..... "Rolled it in and started doing the basic checks. Fluid is crap, lot's of debris. Pull the pan, filter is clogged, I mean packed, lot of debris in the bottom of the pan." Did he change the fluid once every 10 years whether it needed it or not? Sounds like he drove...

2.94 ratio with 3 or 4 speed O/D manual trans. 2.76 with automatic http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/dealerships/DealershipDataBook/1976/76-Valiant-Duster_0018.jpg

No overdrive in 70 ! 833 tranny Built in the New Process trans plant VIN # should be stamped on the ID pad on the right side at the front of the tranny.

/6 TF won't go behind it.

Just go to the local dealer a get a bottle or 2 of Mopar Sure-Grip additive. If it was good enuff for the factory, it is good enuff for your car.

Borrow a stock dipstick, fill the tranny up to the 'FULL' line, take it out and put the Lokar in and mark it at the same level.

Wife was not wrong, she was mis-informed.....if you know what is good for you !!

It looks way too narrow for the body because it is way too narrow. In 1967, they widened the engine compartment and the whole front end from 55.9 to 59.1 but left the rear end at 55.6. And they left the narrow wheelwells as well. Remember tires back then were only about 5 inches wide.

I think it would be a bit shaky, esp if it hooks.

The tranny does not pump in park. When it sits for an extended period of time, the tranny fluid drains out of the torque converter back into the pan. Start it in neutral, let it run for about 15 seconds before putting it in gear. See if that helps.

Typical Mopar..... When you put the tranny into reverse, the pinion gear reverses direction on the ring gear. If there is any slop (there always is, even when new) the noise you hear is the pinion gear hitting the back side of the ring gear teeth. Jack the back of the car up, put the tranny in...

NO !! I thought I made a mistake once but I was misinformed !

Just for the record.... 904s came in 2 flavors: /6 and small block 727s came in 3 flavors: /6, small block and big block. And none are interchangeable between the engine sizes.

Better pick up a couple of large bolt pattern wheels and larger lug nuts while you are at it !! 8.25 are 5 X 4.5 pattern.

Floater axles can be a bear to get popped out of diff. on big rigs. Sometimes it is easier to just drop the driveshaft.

I have seen them stay together in 650hp Cobras with DOT slicks.

CV joint would be my 1st guess, esp if you where turning.

The clunking is the driveline slop in the rear end. With the new tranny, it engages a bit harder. Jack the rear end up, hold the brake and drop it in gear, esp reverse. Watch how much the driveshaft turns before it stops. And don't get too excited......they did it when the car was new.

Yep. When they were cast, they did not know if it was going in a new vehicle right away or if it was going to be used as a relacement...it just went to Chrysler.

Could be a warranty or service replacement tranny. Same thing.

Would you put a 55 Bug transaxle in a 911 Turbo?? ' bout the same as putting a 7.25 behind a potent small block. It just ain't made for it.

Looks bent ??? Did they measure anything on a jig or just eyeball it??? This looks bent....
