Rodney Bullock Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have been getting my explorer ready for the winter season, My explorer is a 1953 chevy, I use it to go where no man has gone before, mainly to junk yards and chrome shops. I guess now I can go and come nack at light speed since I have installed my 4 speed trans, I drove it home today from the shop and thought I was gonna die. The extra gear really makes it happen. I was passing everything on the highway and had more to spare. I also installed a new speedo so I know how fast I am going and it also tells me how many miles I have on the new trans. Now I can go get parts for the plymouth lighting fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Rodney; New transmission an overdrive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Bullock Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 sagnaw 4 speed by an outfit called M.R.Racing, plus torque tube adapter from Patrick's antique truck and car parts. A special adapter was made (by Patrick) so I would not have to change my rear or cut and make a drive shaft everything bolted up.NICE!
