I've installed 2 TH700R4's in customers BBC Chevelle and 57 and they just don't hold up. I wish we had something like the 4L80E for our Mopars that were actually Mopar transmissions. 68 Cuda Notchback [Email]10.86@120[/Email] 69 Charger R/T 440/505 2009 Challenger SRT8

Early B may have lil smaller tunnel. The units come with a 1350 TH400 style slip so he opted to install a 1350 yoke on the 8 3/4. Now has a 1350 drive line in the 38 inch range.

Yep, the clamp has tangs that lip the back of the seal to serve as backup protection from seal pushing out. Originally Posted By CRT the shiftier we are instilling. love it or hate it, its going in.

Cant say I'm a huge fan of the shifter myself, but hey I got one too... "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"
