I thought the 18 spline was the Hemi 4 speed. They never made that for an A body did they??

The 18 spline was for the 440 and the Hemi, they where(B Body trans) installed in all of the Hurst race four speed cars in 1968 Darts and Hemi Cudas, probally in some of the factory M code 1969 440 Darts and Barracuda also, maybe not BTW, Mopar did make 23 spline trannys and bellhousing with the 308 bearings

Kinda what I figured. Love those hemi darts and barracudas

Well I am thinkin from what I have read, that I will probably go with getting a different case. JUST because not only do I have OCD, but I am also just afraid that I would have to repair it in the end.

Now next subject...rebuilding....what is all entailed in this job?? I do not have any literature on rebuilding a 4 speed.

if you are going to rebuild it I would just get another case and swap in the guts , if this is going behind a smallblock just get a small bearing case .

That's what I am gonna do I think. And get a rebuild kit and do that while I am at it since it is all in the open.

I'd swap cases and be done with it.
If its not a 308 bearing register, now would be time to upgrade. stock is fine for your application imo.


It's probably not a good idea to change to a 308 bearing case these days since the only Chrysler specific 308 bearings available are made in China(junk). MRC/SKF no longer make this bearing.

I've heard more than a few people complain about the china bearings making noise(wearing out) too quickly. Things might have changed since then and quality may have improved?? but given the choice I'd run a 307 case these days just to avoid using the chinese 308.

I am making arrangements with Gus for a 307 small bearing case and maybe bearing retainer. Then might go with Wayne at Brewer's for a rebuild kit for her too. I should then have a good, strong, no worries transmission for my "little" 340 lol.
