4G63 Trans Set up

RWD4G63 · Post by **RWD4G63** » Sat Apr 09, 2005 3:59 pm

Hello, I am new to the board and I currently own, what is to my knowlege, the only 4G63 Powered 1981 Dodge Challenger (plymouth sapporo) I built it about a year ago and have had a blast with it ever since. It has a Forced Performance Green turbo, Buschur racing Turbo 350 set up, and a ford 8.8 rear. The original owner (in stock form 2.6 carb) drove it to a 22.11 @ 61MPH!!! I have since run 11.78 @ 121 at the DSM shootout last year. I am selling my orig 5 speed 4G63 set up. It includes : 1 5spd trans modified by Eric Plebani (one of the first to ever do this swap) that will bolt directly a 4G63 Block. 1 6 bolt flywheel, and 1 ACT clutch. I will also throw in a reversed stock intake manifold with a non-turbo throttle body. If anyone is interested please email me @ watarush27@hotmail.com Thanks

I already have one of those EP built trannys (88 Starion guts/89 MM bell housing). I have a couple of questions for you.

What kid of clutch is it using (mechanical or hydralic)?

What FW/clutch combination?

Lastly, how much do you want for everything?

Thanks,

I would like $700 for everything, Clutch is and ACT 6 puk that I had to special order from them, it has a standard conquest center section with an eclipse outer section, unsprung with a Cable clutch mechanism that came stock in my Challenger. It can be used with the hydraulic clutch in a Conquest also. The flywheel was also custom made but a local shop for me. I had to drill an extra hole it though for the dowell pin in a 6 Bolt 4G63. All the parts have less than 500 miles on them.

Sounds like alot of trouble for the flywheel/clutch. I just used the FWD flywheel with the center hole bored out for the bearing. Could have been aftermarket too.

The clutch was just a matter of calling SBC and asking for a clutch I can use with a FWD flywheel and a starion spline.

I must say that $700 is a deal if this transmission is as strong as it seems.... but I dont know.. it can only be as strong as a later StarQuest tranny and they're not too strong either. Anybody planning to do the swap should know.. I've gone through 2 transmissions already and nearly $1000 in parts.. not including my time swapping them.. and downtime.

I sure wish someone could figure out exactly what is required to do the gut swap. Alot of people on here would eat that up.
