To expand a little, while under heavy load, what should I expect to feel on the gearshift handle (TKX). Little to no vibration-smooth feeling through out the power band or will I be feeling engine / trans harmonics or other?
OK, this is becoming a bit more clear. I do have a set of 2.5 degree shims. When I do a visual at the driveshaft / pinion connection, there seems to be hardly any angle at all - almost straight in line, which I understand is not good for the u-joint needle bearings.
There is a vibration in the shifter handle, although I'm not sure what to expect while driving. This is my first stick car. Is what I'm feeling "normal" for a stick car? Not sure. Should I be feeling anything at all in the shifter handle? I guess what I'm looking for is some guidence as to what...
There's no more room to raise the gearbox without major tunnel work. If my drawing is correct, my pinion is pointing up so I'm having a hard time to wrap my head around how as you say, the diff is pointing down. I'm thinking driveline angles are more relevent than how much the trans is down - to...
Drawing below shows my measured driveline angles. I went to the Spicer website and pluged in the numbers. Problem is, for me anyways, not sure how to input the correct data for the pinion. The Spicer drawing has me wondering which direction (which arrow to choose in Spicer calculator) is...
In post #65 you said this was a wasted post and you were "Done" - but you're still posting. There will be missing pieces. There will be hundreds of hours to complete. You're not liking the honest opinions and advice you're getting. One would assume that you work in a restoration environment...
After about 200 miles of dirving on my new TKX, I'm pretty happy with the results. I've yet to "lean" on it though. Break in reccomendations say to put 500 mules on the trans and 1200 - 1500 cycles on the clutch / pressure plate combo. The one thing I have noticed is that I can feel what seems...
Different cars will have different shifter locations. What car do you have? In regards to the neutral switch, you are correct that the forward mount does not have one, but that's easy to overcome. I just mounted a brake light switch to the clutch pedal. If you have an early B body, the rear...
Nice project you have. See the following link - https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/can-of-rusty-worms.104526/ - there are posts on what you are doing.
Borgeson is NOT complex at all. I installed a complete kit from Bergman, which includes his custom coulper (no cut), and it fit like a glove. Installed in a 64 Dodge, 426W, Dougs headers, mini starter. You're gunna like it!
It's my understanding that if a car is not sold on BAT, they will forward interested parties contact info to the owner - a call to BAT should confirm or not.
