    5sp Manual Overdrive <$2k. Keep your Tbar Xmember!

    Part 4: Shifter Linkage I have been driving this setup for over a year and it has held up well. The AR5 shifter location is in front of the t-bar x-member, so a little far forward to be comfortable. My car came with a console, so I wanted to retain it. Last October I 3D scanned the floor and...

    Yes, I have been working on a shifter linkage to fit under the E-body console and a custom speedometer driver similar to a Speedbox. I can also post some driving videos and finish discussing the hydraulics soon.

    Is anyone interested in an electronic to mechanical speedometer drive unit that doesn't cost $450 like a Speedbox?

    Part 2: Working Rearwards... ------------------------------------------------------ Pilot Bearing: I used this Holley swap pilot bearing after looking through a lot of stock options, looking at sizes of bearings for both 5.9 magnums and Colorados on Rockauto, and measuring my trans and crank.

    5sp Manual Overdrive <$2k. Keep your Tbar Xmember!

    I just added up all my purchases and I'm right around $2k. This includes everything between the pilot bearing and rear u-joint, clutch pedal, hydraulics, gear oil, and a smaller Hemi style brake booster at a whopping $300. This does not include a shifter setup or electronic speedometer adapter...

    Looks pretty close! I once saw an Autumn Bronze Metallic car that looked like mine, not sure of the code.

    Hi all, my first real post here. Would anyone be interested in a writeup on my AR5 5-speed transmission swap into my 1971 Challenger? It is similar to the AX15 swaps I've seen on here but capable of more power (at least 400). I did not need to remove my t-bar crossmember like the 6 speed swaps...
