Will a truck 4spd fit??
« on: February 29, 2004 - 06:22:08 PM »
Ok.....before i start......i want to apologize.....this is not about a chally or cuda its abotu a duster......but i'm wondering if a 4spd out of a dodge D100 will work in a duster or will it drag the ground?  Also could some one point me to a good duster sight like this one. thanks

or I can answer your ? here , no truck 4 spd is a  bolt in into a duster, , an Aspen / Volare will bolt in , & you may be ableto boltin a truck tranny like the 435 , the bel is available , you will need a 12" clutch & th etunnel would need to be highly modified to fit

That is the 435 top loader tranny witha granny first gear , youo would also need a special driveshaft made as that tranny doesn`t use a slip yolk , it woul dbe a tough swap at best

Yeah both the shaft & crossmember + clutch linkage pivots , you would probably need to cut the floor pan for clearance & you would really only have 3 usable gears

I knew i would only have 3 usable gears but i didn't know about the other stuff thanks...clutch linkages and hump wouldn't be a problem (my cousin said he had all the stuff to switch over) it would be making a crossmember and shaft....how much is a granny 4spd worth? thanks alot

IO suppose you could use 2.76 gear & still use first gear biut they are not syncroed into 1st
 Not sure what they are worth in your area
