My 64 Signet has a reverse manual push button 1962 big block 727 transmission with freewheeling first gear and was built as a race trans by Dynamic for the Signet, it's got a 3000 Dynamic convertor. It's been in my car since around 1990 and fits behind a small block roller cam 360. I am getting tired of pushing the buttons and I am getting tired of the slamming hammer like shifts, but it's fun to wind it up and drive At times I wish it worked by itself but it don't. I'll be 70 years old in November...
There was ............ via stock console shifter ................. tired of the goofy light handed click-click-click................
If you want to shift, drop in a four speed,.................
That's not the question he asked, for me not an option, AND "change the shfiter" problem solved.
I've run manual gearboxes for the majority of my life, no longer can do.
If I wasn't on a budget I would swap to a 4 speed. Trying to put a drag car back on the street. Have enough money to spend on other areas. Hoping to use the trans I have. I'm thinking 4 speed for the next project for sure. My plans are to get the car going with what I have then do a 383 swap into the car. Cheaper right now to do it this way. Just need more $$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!
Thanks for all the input. It helps to have info.
having had a violent 727 explosion once, an ex partner and friend that is up on the torqueflites, I went w/ a fully auto., NOTHING COOLER THAN WATCHING A CALAWAY CORVETE, or turbo porche being blown away by some mopar driver that`s all relaxed, one arm laid on the window-the other on the wheel. old school cool! been there done that.Charrlie S, I understand that perfectly well in regards to the convertor and softness. My shifter is just forward yet in-between as well. Actually it's two fold when shifting, as I can bring the RPM's up and shift it just letting off a bit and appears to be very smooth, but Homey don't play those games.. If it wasn't that the welded in frame connectors hadn't gone through the floor, I would certainly have bigger problems than hard shifting. I think what it needs is more horse power and more torque
