1968 Plymouth GTX

Bill did transmissions at a Dodge dealership. He did my A100 and somehow it worked. Give him a call to see if he wants to do it.

Anybody rebuild their own transmission?

Also, looking at headers, the Headman Headers I purchased for my signature car have gone up $500 in price to over $800 a pair now!!! They have the uncoated ones for about half that price.

What are y'all using and what diameter pipes. I was thinking 3" diameter with Hush Thrush Turbo mufflers.

Was a trans tech for many years.

They are not rocket science to build if your so inclined

Is there a particular rebuild kit you would recommend?

Not yet! I am thinking of taking this on myself.

I got my parts for the A100 from here....

Rebuild Components - A&A Transmissions

I don't think there were any issues.

Thanks Jim!

I pulled the torque converter out and it has this number on it. Not sure what that means?

Me either. I put a new one in the A100 since it was a BluePrint 408 and makes its power higher in the band. My cars are all built for max torque at 3000 so I had them rebuilt as the factory stall speed is what I needed. The transmission shop sent them out for me. That was before I had my own personal TorqueFlight expert at my fingertips

Danger here is you don’t know what the stall speed is and it could be way off with your motor build

Well I am trusting to get some guidance from the more knowledgeable on this site.

Looked at the rebuild kit link you posted and found too many choices for my tranny. LOL

Yucky looking and dented pan.

Gonna take some hammer and dolly work to get it semi straight again.

Definitely qualifies as "Yucky Looking"...
