I think the easiest thing for you to do would be to put a 4 speed in it. There was a Mopar 4spd which works well behind the slant, that had 4th gear as an overdrive. Ratios are wide, but no wider than your 3 speed, and the 4 speed is fully syncronized. The 70's era cars with a slant will have the bell housing that will work for sure for you. I think you can use the same clutch linkage with both. You will need to cut the floor and put in a higher hump to go over the 4 speed and allow space for the shifter. You may have to change driveshafts. I think the 4 speed takes a slip yoke which is the same as the 727 auto uses. Putting a 5 speed in is a much bigger deal. I used a Ford T-5 out of a 4 cylinder Mustang from 1987. You must get all the same stuff you would need for the Mopar 4 spd plus an adapter plate the mate the T-5 to the Mopar bell. I actually cut away the cross member to accommodate the larger size of the T-5. Some do not do this, but I wished to raise the tail shaft up slightly to maintain factory alignment. There is much more to say. |

A sorta-option is the 5-speed supposedly coming out from Passion Performance. It's only "sorta" an option because it's been "coming soon" for at least a couple of years. I'd expect it to be price competitive with other 5-speed kits, but with the benefit that it's supposed to fit anywhere the factory Mopar 4-speed did without cutting the car. |

Look for a trans/bellhousing out of a '74 and up A or F body. You will also need the shifter and the yoke for your driveshaft. |

If it was a stock vehicle you are looking for a 1975-1976 A-body, or a 1976-1980 F-body. Like Big D said if you can get the whole smash (shifter, yoke, shift rods, clutch fork, etc...), it will make things easier. Try to avoid the 1975-1987 Truck version as it has a longer tailshaft and you will do a work around in trying to make it ft (see 4 spd article on this board).Also note that most units will need a rebuild even if the "owner" said it worked great. -D.Idiot |

You will also need to modify the bellcrank and the bellhousing mount point, because they are not the same between your dart and any f-body. |

Hi, I've spent a lot of time on our 62 Valiant and the 4 speed conversion. I strongly recommend contacting Brewers about your options. Here's their website http://www.brewersperformance.com/ Wayne has been a huge help in giving me quality part/service when I needed it. They're currently rebuilding me an overdrive tranny. JB |

Just curious, how much will that cost? The last one I had refurbished (I didn't have the time to do myself) was only $318 (I have a local guy that's been doing mopar trannies for 30+ years). If you are drag racing with it I would suggest using the iron case unit, I initially used the aluminum case unit and after 10 races it started to whine in OD while daily driving, the iron case unit I have has taken a lot of hard power launches and is quiet in all forward gears.-D.Idiot |
