Not In the places they were cracked. Ill try to post some picks later in the week. They crack along one of the channels. I believe its a flaw. The one I ended up using was from a 69 and the casting had been changed a bit. The newer casting is reinforced in that spot.

I finally pulled the trans out found a crack in the valve body and smoked the front clutches. So I went to a different trans pulled the valve body out of it and found it was cracked also. So I went to a third trans and finally found one that wasn't cracked. I didn't realize this was such an...

I pressure tested the serves and clutch packs when I put it together. This is what is making this frustrating, I double check everything before I put it together so I don't have these issues. Ive rebuilt about 10 transmissions dodge and Chevy combined this was has been the first failure. Ive...

Slips in manual first. If you wind it up it goes in and out of gear

I haven't checked the line pressure I don't have a gauge I will pick one up. I used the whole pump from the 74 transmission. It was from a trans I had previously rebuilt and worked in a previous project. I have seen some comments online that this won't work but I haven't seen definitive awnser...

I rebuilt a 727 transmission for my 66 coronet, not my first rebuild, but my first time of having issues after a rebuild. Everything went smoothly but after installing it in the car the car has slipping forward low gear but goes into reverse fine. I have double checked linkage adjustments and...

Ok ill look around and see what I can find anyone know where you can get parts the shaft is pretty chewed up

I have sure grip out of a 74 dodge 489 case, the cross shaft pin is loose, slides back and fourth contacting the ring gear on one side and falling out on the other. What holds it in place, I can't see where theres a roll pin or anything like an open carrier has. Any help would be greatly...

it takes 25 min or so its a gradual overheat. I changed the thermostat out thinking maybe it was a problem. heats up quicker if its going down the highway versus in town driving, I took a good flashlight and drained the radiator down and most of the coolant passages in the radiator that I can...

top radiator hose is hot the radiator is not. I thought maybe the radiator was plugged. Bypass valve came up because a guy I know was swearing that the bypass valve was stuck shut. I did laser temp the engine and it is hot it runs up to 230 with a 180 thermostat in it. im going to take the...

my 66 coronet is overheating, new thermosat replaced it twice actually, heater is not working, so im not getting any flow through it, car is an A/C car with a heater bypass valve, if that valve is closed will it over heat the car, or is my heater core plugged up? Any help would be greatly app.

Its a 76 half ton short bed. I bought a pan pickup tube and dipstick on ebay rear sump for a truck On the description it said 383 400 440. I got it here and my dad said it wouldn't fit a 440. We had a minor discussion on it. But I was pretty sure they fit the 440 as well. I have a 383 and a 440...

I have a question cause ive never worked on one. If a person wanted to put a 440 in a truck the oil pan has to be changed to a rear sump. Will the truck pan from a 383 work.

Im interested in the rear seat belts if it has them how much would you like to get rid of them for.
