Like Bob says the factory type "slick shift" boxes do need regular maintenance if you put many hard passes on them. I would get a face-plate input and third gear with the correct slider and have Liberty's modify the side cover too. I have driven just about every different kind of modified 4-speed Chrysler box and the face-plate is the best way to go Gus

Been there done that. I would never ever do a slick shift again after trying faceplate. Slick shift wares out the dog teeths so fast its not even funny. And thats after you have spent alot of hours grinding every other teeth off. Faceplate is not cheap but WELL worth it in my opinion. What is the liberty cover mod?

I had Liberty Face-plate 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in my 18 spline A-Body box. They cut the synchro rings off each gear and weld a face plate to each. It was $80.00 per gear plus the cost of the new dog ring sliders. The pic shows the gears and the new sliders vs the old ones. Also, the side cover mod, which they bore out the holes and press in seals. The lever rods are larger diameter. Call Liberty, good folks to deal with.
