jd52cranbrook Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I just bought a D24 with fluid drive, It comes tomorrow. Question is,,, has OD ever been installed on a fluid drive car? Meaning a three speed tranny behind the coupling. Cant wait to tear the car apart, but thought I would just ask this first.

Young Ed Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 YUP. Dad and I did it for another guy with a 51 dodge. We replaced what I believe was an M6. Had to find the proper input shaft for the OD to go into the fluid drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p24-1953 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 dodge... you have any more info on this setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 There really wasnt much to it. The OD and the tranny we took out were only about 1/2 in different in length so the same driveshaft was used. The ebrake cable was a little short. Dad made a little bracket to extend the mounting point for the cable. Then the OD input shaft was swapped in from a different tranny. I think it came from a plain 3spd that would be found behind a fluid drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
