    Bolt question

    I did a search...didn't find an answer. Truth: I am 'Search Challenged'. I often DON'T find 'stuff'...and that includes using search engines. Re: The allen bolts for the shifter adapter plate. What size are the heads? I have four allen/hex key sets, nothing fits. I tried metric just for...

    You say Yes, You say No

    I'm unperturbed about the question. If I lived 'back east' where salt is on the roads for months I would be inclined to paint it. In the drought-stricken State of Jefferson AND being a fair-weather driver of my Body-A, why bother? What say youse? Thanks.

    Trans crossmember mount

    I bought a new one from Napa. It has a NAPA sticker on the box. I realize that means nothing. Besides the 'long' ears being tacked 'un-square' to the mount tube, the rubber is just sitting in the oblong metal piece. OEM mounts have that rubber BONDED to the tube. I can move the mount...

    When is it whining?

    I put a deposit down on a rebuilt 833 just over a year ago, from a known fine and upstanding 833 rebuilder. At the time, lead time was said to be 6-9 months. Fine. In October I asked about it, was told, 'First of the year.' Fine. In April I asked about it, was told, 'In a couple of weeks.'...

    Input rollers misplaced

    A hypothetical: Suppose, while placing the 833 mainshaft into the input gear, a roller is displaced. What's a guess as to how long it would take to feel/know/find out that happened? I had my 833 apart 30 years ago and maybe made that error. The car is rarely driven..and rarely in this...

    A-body 833 26 spline

    An education, please, on the history and reason for the two different spline configurations for the 833? Was it the introduction of the 340 that brought about the 30 spline shaft? I presume the 30 spline shaft is larger in diameter than the 26? Will the 26 spline live with a 340 OK? My...

    What's broke?

    Looking for best guesses on new breakage. It's a transmission issue. It might be clutch related, but kind'a doubt it. Engine running, trans in neutral, clutch pedal pushed, things are quiet. Let the pedal out, and I can hear and feel (in the shifter) a gravelly racket. Not quite rocks in a...

    Who's in, who's out?

    Considering this: A855 - 5 Speed What is the general point of view of the efficacy of the 855? I'm 'on the list'. I have always had my reservations about the meaning of that..if there is any meaning to it at all. I have the coin. I have been thinking of stirring the pot to find out...

    Change from 23 to 18 spline clutch disk

    I'm lining up parts I need to swap my 833 for an PP 855. I remembered reading (I thought) that Passon would supply a 23 spline model but, they don't. What do I need to know to get an 18 spline disk that will replace my A-body 23-spline setup? Any BB 18 spline will do? Any particular disk...

    Speedo pinion gears

    I'm looking into getting my speedometer re-connected. I have a chart that indicates a 2538945 to be used for a 4.56 gear w/26" tires. While looking for that yellow gear on the web, I found several instances of other charts that list the -43 (blue) gear for that combo. My chart lists the -43...

    Alignment tool

    Greetings: The specified 'tool' to align the Comp+ shifter is 1/16" x 5/8" x 2 3/8". How does it fit in the slot? No way that I can tell. The slot in the shifter is nowhere's close to 5/8". What am I missing? I've never used anything other than a nail. :oops: (this pic from another thread):

    Reverse shift problem

    I am SURE there are questions for which I won't have the answers, but..'ya never know until you ask! Subject: '73 340 Duster with a '69 drive train, 4sp The '69 motor/trans came out of a '69 340 Dart. The transmission was a hemi model with the large(r) main shaft. Having banged on that...
