[moparnut]

thanks everyone for all the help,guess its the only way to learn,atleast i'll keep telling myself that,lol.I hope the seller does the right thing,he does has an impectable feedback record,we will see

[moparnut]

I should have listened to you guys and just turned down the od tranny front bearing retainer,My bad.QUestion,do i take the whole tranny to a shop or can i just remove the front shaft housing and whats the prceedure in doing so?thanks again

[ShelbyDogg]

Just take the 4 bolts off and the bearing retainer comes right off.   Should only be about $20 to turn that down to 4.80". Or better yet, wait till you get a bellhousing and take that there at the same time. Might as well change that seal in it too.

Here is a link to bellhousing numbers. For your next purchase, Ebay or swap meet.

Once again I ask myself why am i the only one that seems lately I am getting jacked around on ebay?even with sellers with no negetive feedback?I think my karma ran over my dogma,lol.The guy isnt returning my emails,I guess its time for yet another paypal fraud complaint and a postal service mail fraud complaint as well,dang I'm tired ot doing this."Wowzee Wowzee Woo woo" as schleprock from the flintstones would say,lol

[ShelbyDogg]

Look at it this way Moparnut. You only paid $69 for it AND you got it. If that guy ever answers you, he'll give you your money back, if not, sell it on Ebay and give him negative feedback. I almost got taken for lots more one time. I bid $9000 on a T-A Challenger that was being spoofed by a guy that got someone elses ebay login and password. Luckily, another poor sucker bid higher that me with 10 seconds left, and won it.  There was no car!  I hear horror stories of people sending money and not getting anything.  Consider yourself very lucky. You are NOT the only one.

I bought a rebuilt clutch for a Cuda I'm selling from AutoZone.com. The 10.5 pressure plate was $35 and the disk was $17. Talk about cheap! But like I said, I"M SELLING IT".   That clutch of yours is a good price but if you plan on doing some smokey burnouts get a street/strip clutch.
I've had some Raybestos organic rear brakes on my tow vehicle that got so hot and hard after 2 years that they chattered like crazy when I tapped the brakes.  That cheaper clutch material might do the same thing after a few thousand miles.  It's up to you. Isn't that one you're building a keeper?

OK you would think i would learn the first time,lol.I'll get the hays street strip,lol.SO if i buy a regular 833 bell,have the front turned down to 4.80 and use this clutch all will be good?I am ready to order from summit the clutch,new grant steering wheel and the plymouth horn button,i like to do it all together.and yes the Chally is a keeper
thanks again

[moparnut]

thank you

[moparnut]

Got my money back,I am on the right track now and ready to put this tread to bed,lol,thanks again

[moparnut]

Sorry one more bell question,lol.I have been looking on Epay and some have stated a 4@ 5/16th bell hole,was there more than one?As everything I have been told it should be 4.80 and what would that equal in inch fractions?3/4"?thanks

[ShelbyDogg]

Dont' bid on it unless you want to keep the topic of this thread alive. That's a smaller one to stay away from.  One of my bell housings, for a big block, has that smaller hole (about 4-1/4") and I have and 833 4sp trans to match it. Small bearing retainer  and small bearing, I think it was used before '68.
Rob

[moparnut]

OK lol,what would the correct one be in Inches?not 4.80 but like 4 3/4"thanks
