Hi Everybody, today I checked my engine number and the number is D34-323118. Because the car is a 42 Dodge Custom Coupe, engine nr. should start with a D22-... As far as I know, the engine was never swaped, but I think this is wrong. Are there any differences between the two engines were I can see if it's a 42 or a 1950 engine? Are all parts interchangeable? Thank you in advance Kai

Here we go again. I tried and the result is, that it doesn't help shifting in second or third gear before first or reverse. I also stepped a little bit on the gas and also at higher rpm second and third works fine. So it doesn't depend on the engine speed. It's also when the engine is turning very slow. I have an old Motor's Auto repair manual and there is a picture of the transmission showing a front and rear synchronizer sleeve, but I'm not sure if these sleeves are only for the upper gears or also for the first and reverse. It will be a long and cold winter. Perhaps I open the transmission and have a look what's inside ;-) Thanks a lot Kai

Hello Everybody, thanks for your help. The grinding is when the car stops, no matter if the engine is running slow or faster. I check at first if grinding stops when I shift in second gear first. If it won't be better I'll have a look at the clutch. This is a good idea.

Hi Everybody, I have a 1942 Dodge D22 Custom Coupe with Fluid Drive and 3 Speed Transmission. Everytime, I will shift from neutral into first gear or reverse the transmission sounds that the synchronizing sleeves wont work anymore. It's only in these gears. Second and third are fine. That's why I want to rebuild the transmission. Hast anybody done this before and know where to find parts? Are the synchronizer sleeves to replace or could they be adjusted? Any hlep would be great. Thanks a lot Kai
