    Transmission mount

    Got quite the dilemma here. I sent my trans out to get rebuilt, then I had the car towed there to install the new tranny. Somehow from here to there the transmission mount has disappeared. I have no idea which one to buy. Does anybody have the exact part number for a 65 Dodge Polara Transmission...

    South Jersey transmission rebuild

    Well I am crossing my fingers, Star Transmission picked up my tranny last night, which I was impressed with. But when he got there he tried to removed the torque converter for travel, and it wouldn’t come out. He originally told me $1400 and they would reinstall it, but now he said there could...

    South Jersey transmission rebuild

    how much does it normally cost? I just called Monster transmissions out of Florida, and they want 4K to rebuild my tranny, but they would be beefing it up to withstand the horsepower from the engine! Anybody have any experience with them?

    Replace or rebuild tranny?

    When I bought the car it was all original, I had a very reputable shop swap out the 383 for a completely rebuilt 440 (they also did the rebuild). We did no work to the transmission, and I do not believe it was ever taking out of the car. I did have them install a new converter.

    Tighten flex plate

    About 17 years ago, maybe 7-10k miles. The car always ran perfect, no vibration. My thoughts are they were always loose and have contributed to the converter bolts coming loose twice over the years.

    Replace or rebuild tranny?

    Now that I have put this much effort into removing the trans to replace the flex plate, I don’t want to have to do it again at a later date. So my thought is to rebuild it or replace it. Replacing it creates some concerns . Knowing this tranny is unique having two shifting cables going to it...

    Tighten flex plate

    To your question, why/how did it happen. I have no idea, I finally got everything separated, and when I did the flex plate dropped out of the bell housing along with 6 bolts, one was sheered off. This completely boggles my mind, I have no idea how the car drove home. So another topic, whit all...

    Tighten flex plate

    I agree with you that it would be easier the next time, but who wants to do it twice. I know the tranny has been slipping going into reverse, so it’s only a matter of time before all gears start. It just makes sense to get it done now.

    Tighten flex plate

    Here is where I stand. Today has been an absolute f-ing nightmare! Things started well, I unloaded the torsion bars, one was easy the other I don’t want to talk about. Then it came time to remove the cross member, it came out very easy. Ok now it is time to move back the trans, we pulled back...

    Tighten flex plate

    Well I dove back into it this morning, and I took most peoples advice and started unloading the torsion bars, the driver side was super easy. I marked the socket with a black marker and went a complete 35 turns. The passenger side can go F itself, holy crap I sprayed the crap out of this side...

    That is my intention, but the crossmember is in the way of sliding it back.
