Cool. Lot's of manual trans cars here lately

 

[commando1]

Anybody want to guess how much $$ it will take to clean it up a little and getting it safe & reliable to be a ½ decent driver.
I bet five grand would dissapear pretty quickly.

I'd say you are pretty close with that to be what you said provided there's no major problems with the engine.

I love the dash but must admit this particular model is not my thing

The model year of this car doesn't excite much, but the manual trans in a 4 dr is cool.

 

[tallhair]

I agree with you there for sure and I'll admit that car could grow on me

Must be a chevy guy

ahhh yup

Well I got to wondering so i went and looked this up at brewers site:

I had forgotten about the lower numerical 1st gear for the AAR / T/A cars

I still think he's thinking chevy terminology though as even 2.66 1st gear 833's did not have a wide range between gears like some GM car and Fords (top loader was close ratio wasn't it?)

History of the A833 Chrysler Four Speed Transmission

Chrysler's first factory-installed four-speed transmission (1963) was the Borg Warner T-10. It didn't take long for the engineers at Chrysler to conclude a stronger and more durable transmission was needed, and the New Process A-833 was introduced with the 1964 model year. Both '64 and '65 models carried the flanged output for the ball-and-trunnion style universal joint. B- and C-bodies utilized the common 2.66 low gear ratio, while the A-body transmissions were 3.09 low gear ratio. The 1965 Super Stock 426 Hemi-powered vehicles received the first heavy duty "Hemi" 18-spline input models.

The flange-style output was dropped for the 1966 models, and the slip-yoke tailshaft was introduced. The long tailshaft versions utilized the larger 30-spline output shaft (same as the 727 Torqueflite) and the short tailshaft version the 26-spline output shaft (same as the 904 Torqueflite). The production of the 1967 383 big block-powered Darts and Barracudas mandated the addition of the 30-spline output shaft in the A-body transmission, which was expanded to include all A-body transmissions in 1968.

Beginning with the '68 models, a small (3" X 7/8") raised machined pad was added to the main case, just above the casting numbers on the passenger's side. The car's serial number, along with the transmission's build date (10,000 day calendar code) and a 4-digit sequential production number are stamped into this pad.

With the beginning of the 1970 model year, the new "lug-style" synchronizer rings and the wider (.382" vs .216") synchronizer strut keys were introduced. Production of the AAR Cuda and T/A Challenger Trans-Am models in the spring of 1970 introduced the 2.47 low gear "close ratio" 23 spline gearset. 1970 A833 production brought to an end the tried and true ball-detent side cover, switching to the interlock lever design for 1971. The 18-spline transmissions also received a gear change with a 2.44 low gear ratio gearset for the 1971 models.

1974 ended the long tailshaft B- and E-body 4-speed production, while 1975 was the last year for the A-body short tailshaft 4-speed and the beginning of the overdrive versions of the A833. The 23 year run of the famous A833 ended with the 1986 model Dodge truck

So it won't work.

 

[tallhair]

So it won't work.

It should work fine .. it's just his incorrect use of the term close ratio implying there was a wide ratio 4 speed option for those cars. As the Brewers info identified there was a 3.09 first gear in the A bodies at that time, but not B and C

 

[barnfind]

well thats news to me, I always thought that "close ratio" was a chevy term

Production of the AAR Cuda and T/A Challenger Trans-Am models in the spring of 1970 introduced the 2.47 low gear "close ratio" 23 spline gearset.

 

[commando1]

Well, he didn't say "Rock crusher"..

 

[barnfind]

Verified its a 143 tooth flywheel!!! Looks like its on the bay.

 

[tdenkler]

64 used 833 4 speed not T-10.

 

[commando1]

THAT'S what I thought!
