    70' Cuda Gearbox
    « on: December 07, 2007 - 01:43:00 PM »
    Just got the front end kits put on my cuda and think I need to replace/rebuild the gearbox.  It still has more slack in it than I would like.   :violin:


    Any suggestions? 
    Does anyone sell new or rebuilt ones?

    Thanks for your wisdom.

    The Gear boxes are adjustable to a point if it is not too loose.

    If you are talking about the steering gear box I would try to adjust and if it is still loose I would have someone like Steer and Gear rebuilt it to firm feel as this will make it feel more like a rack and pinion front end.

    yeah I'm talking steering gear box, not transmission. So, I think this is in the right area for the post... 
    Any thoughts?

    Super news.  I'll give them a call Monday. 
    Next question, how bad of an install job are steering boxes?
    Thanks

    I assume this is a power system
     they are not fun to remove but not too bad if you do not have headers

    I'm planning on replacing mine too, but I think I'll wait till the motor is out.
