putting a new clutch into a friends challenger-need pics of how they left the factory. cast iron with what inspection markings-it`s an l.a. built car dec 69 23 spline behind a 383. anyone got pics of original or restored 4 speed so i can make it look more factory correct-someone painted it orange so it`s going back to the cast look.

This is from a '69 RR built in St Louis (4/69) but 70 transmissions would be similarly marked(from what I have seen) LA plant or otherwise. These are the markings and numbers I reproduced as found on my original. If you use paint stripper you may get lucky and get the orange paint off while retaining original painted markings underneath - most of the markings stuck pretty good and have good staying power (unless previously blasted/stripped). The large, three digit number on the side is the last three of part number found on build sheet or in Galens white part number book. This number I have seen in white (69RR), light blue (70 RR 440+6), pink (73 cuda) and probably others. I have also seen one or two white paint splotches on top of tail shaft.

thank you so much for the pics-exactly what i wanted to see. i will paint strip the box soon and hopefully find evidence of some markings.

Good luck to you Frank! Let me know if you find anything upon stripping.

Just one remark - since I forgot (or did not read the service manual) it and it was a pain:

If you install it, don't forget to slide the clutch fork in BEFORE you fix the transmission.
