    8.8 swap 7260 adapter u joint to ???

    hi, so we are finishing up the 8.8 swap on Dany's Cuda (finally!!) and like I read on here a while ago the drivshaft (for an 8.25) looks to be the right length. So we went looking for an adapter joint to adapt the 7260 shaft to the bolt on 8.8 flange. Bolt on flanges can be had for 3310 and 1330...

    Now THAT'S a TV cable!!

    So my dissatisfaction with the Lokar TV cable lead me to design a mount for the carb that would hold the factory cable that came with the trans (93 A998 ). Only spent a few hours on it and it works perfectly and uses about a tenth of the effort to pull that the Lokar unit did. And yes, I'm so...

    TV adjustment with a shift kit ( not the same "how do I adjust kickdown" question)

    So, Dany's trans is in and functioning with NO LEAKS!!! But, the just off idle shifts are late, and you can "feel" it downshift and engine brake when coming to a stop at slow speed. We have the TV adjustment done like I have done them for decades. WOT and TV lever all the way back at the same...

    Throttle bracket a trans part? It is today!!

    So we got Dany's a998 installed and it works like a champ!!! (Thanks Robert at A&A!!) But we noticed road testing it it didn't "kick down" like it should. And the more we drove it the worse it got. I finally noticed the throttle wasn't opening all the way because the eBay Lokar knockoff throttle...

    Corona virus closes everything so, its race trans time for Dany!!

    With both kids schools closed and me off work with a ruptured Achilles we now have LOTS of time to work on Dany's Magnum swap. We built an A998 over the winter and now we are swapping it in and divorcing the cooler from the radiator in the process. Nick's school closed first so he and I started...

    Early A transmission removal with Dougs D450 headers?

    Dany's A998 trans is done, converter is here and we are ready for the swap. Does anyone know if a 904 can be removed with the Dougs D450 headers in place? Or do we need to remove the passenger side, or both ? Hoping someone here has done it before as we are staring removal tomorrow morning...

    A998 how to defeat lockup for a non lockup converter?

    So we finally have Danys trans together and the shift kit/valve body mods are next. It's an A998 from an 03 B van. Electronic lockup. We have ordered a 10" Turbo Action non lockup converter. 26 spline (lockup input shaft) with drive flats not slots. The people at Turbo Action could not have...

    A999 as a street/strip trans.

    So Dany's Magnum swap has been successful enough that it is starting to eat the original 18 spline 100K mile trans. No suprise... So we want to build a "later" trans for it and save the '66 unit to use with the 273 in another project. However, finding a core locally has proved harder than I...
