833 Project

[Johnny Dart]

Well guys,I finally found my new winter project,and it was right in my garage.
I decided to take the /6 and tranny out of the 65 Dart,to clean/hop it up a little.I will start a new thread on that.

Here are some before and after pics of the 833 4spd. Finished it in 2 days,including rebuilding the shifter.Adjusted the rods,and she shifts like butter !!!! Ready to go !!!!

Pretty much what you see is what I have.

I'll give you one little secret...Oven cleaner.


Take care.

I restored the rods along with the Hurst shifter. All new bushings,spring clips,etc.

If you know anyone who needs a Hurst shifter restored I do it,at a very fair price.

Thanks alot.

So, now it's squeaky clean and you rebuilt the shifter. Anything done to the inside? Did you at least pull the side cover off? Hate to see you install it and have to tear it out again. Common problem some make, oh it shifts great on the stand, until they finally test drive it. Do yourself a favor and tear it apart, check it thoroughly, and replace all wear parts. Once and done.
