    Popping out of gear

    I have a Hurst Pro Matic shifter. The last couple of times out it's been in 1st gear then it shifts right into 2nd without shifting. I checked the cable, it seems fine (I've had them melt thru) do the ratchet shifters wear out after so long and not hold the gear? This ones probably 7 years old...

    Shift cable toast?

    Dart suddenly had a hard time shifting into 1st and 2nd. Played around with it, finally pulled cable out from under to check out. It had moved and was on exhaust manifold, even had high temp wrap on it. Plastic melted and wire exposed, is it now shot? I'm assuming it's time to order a new one...

    Valve bodies

    Put in a locally rebuilt 904 two winters ago in 65 Dart. I want to switch out valve body or put a transgo kit in this winter to get firmer shifts. Tranny vin is #4028814 looked it up and it's a 1978 W/lockup. Because it's a lock-up does that affect what valve body can go in? I see the TCI &...

    7.25 to 8.25

    I'm doing the same switch as previous post 7.25 to 8.25 in 65 Dart. Just got the emergency brakes un-hooked from brakes almost ready to go. Any tricks or something I can do that makes it easier or just unhook the brake lines, shocks, U bolts drop leaf springs and go? By the way un-hooking the E...

    Tranny questions?

    Rebuilt 904 last year, put about 4600 miles on car this summer. My question is, using a cable kickdown set-up that is adjusted correctly. The car shifts fine when in drive, shift points are where they should be, BUT. When I shift manually which I do a lot because I like to bring the rpm up...

    904 adjustment?

    Have 904 in my 65 Dart, using a BPE kickdown cable. My question is car runs and shifts fine when in drive and accelerating, when I shift manually from 1st to 2nd I'll jump on it and bring rpm up to 3500 to 4000 rpm and shift from1st to 2nd. There is a sluggishness where it kind of holds and...

    Installed Hurst Pro-matic shifter

    There was a thread a while back about if you could install a ratchet shifter into stock shifter location. A number of guys had done it and posted pictures of what they looked like. I'm pretty much done with my install thought I would post some pics of what I did to make it fit. I had to remove...

    Testing neutral safety switch

    How do you test switch in car? I have single pole switch, do you put it in park & then neutral and see if it has juice going to it? Then make sure in drive gears there is no juice, I want to test it before adding tranny fluid in case I have to switch it out.

    Kick down linkage different?

    I'm going to be switching out my 65 Dart tranny this winter to get rid of extra shift cable. Will my kick down linkage from 65 with floor shift work on a 66 or newer 904? Will I need to pick up kick down linkage from a late 60's A body? Getting ready for winter projects! :finga:

    Will 71 tranny work in 65?

    Have a line on a 71 904 slant 6 tranny. My 65 Dart has 79 318 currently hooked up to 65 904. Want to replace with newer 904 and eliminate extra cable for park (Imperial services bracket should work) Is there any reason this wouldn't work?

    904 won't come out of park

    Put engine & tranny back in car, having trouble with tranny coming out of park & going into gear. Sometime it works others we have to rock the car to get in to release. We adjusted the shifter cable a number of times and can't seem to get it any better.:banghead: Were thinking the cable may be...

    Switching to four barrel

    Will be getting my 318 back soon, went from 2 to 4 barrel with a Quick Fuel 600. Wondering what I need to get my 904 kick down linkage to hook up correctly? It's 65 Dart, does that have a extra cable for parking? Will regular small block four barrel linkage work for this? Has auto with floor...
