I see nothing for those numbers. 17166 looks like a Cheetah VB part # but I don't see it.  :clueless:

maybe it just had a cheetah shift kit with a different seperator plate put in it.
70 Cuda, 7.0L Gen-III Hemi, Viper T56 w/9310 gearset, 3.91's, Megasquirt MS3x v3.57, Innovate wideband, Firm Feel upper arms, torsion bars, springs and strut rods, QA1 DA shocks. I did everything on this car except the fancy paint stuff and I drive it...and I can't seem to stop messing with it....

It's the separator plate that says cheetah, the valvebody itself doesn't say cheetah on it, it just has a number cast into it.


tactrans, perhaps it's old/discontinued? The tranny had to have been built before 95 i'd say as im pretty sure the previous owner owned it since but he didn't have it built. Im going to PM you, think im just going to have it rebuilt, i've been worried about spraying the car because of the unknown nature of this trans anyway so this way I can get it done once and for all.

Kris,I know you are having e-mail problems so I thought I would post on your thread in case you check in to CC.com. Your transmission is done and should be on it's way to you. Thanks for the business!
