What are the draw backs if any to using the original transmission in the 2300 lb rod? Never did 1 of these before.

No OD is probably the only draw back if being compared to a 700r4 They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

But, as said, if you do have the PF they are not complicated and if in working condition it saves you the cost of an adapter. The down side for most folks is the parking brake assembly. Now, if what you have is a Fluid-Drive or, a Hy-Drive...... www.qualityengineeredcomponents.com Early Hemi Parts and Tech EarlyHemi and flat 6&8 trans adapters *inventory clearance in progress.

Has the drum attached to the tail shaft. With 2 solenoids off the side. Thanks for all the help. Last edited by dart9ss; 08/27/16 06:39 PM.
