W.i.w. 4 speed out of a ???

[Troy]

Brewers charges $250 labor to rebuild any of them (18 or 23 spline). There's about $200 in replaceable parts (seals, bearings, etc.), about $30 in gear lube, plus anything broken/worn. I spent just over $1,100 rebuilding my 18 spline last year but that's partially because 2nd gear was "hammered" (their words) and I needed a whole new gear and syncro.

You don't need a shifter to shift it. However, be sure you're spinning the input shaft before randomly flipping the gear levers. The shifter only shifts one lever at a time. You should pull the cover to inspect the gears as well. Be careful because the forks will likely fall and getting it back together is all kinds of fun!

you can source everything you need from Passon or Brewers....     the rebuild kit usually includes needle bearings, front and rear main bearings, snap rings, tailshaft bushing, and gaskets...       


I typically charge $250 + parts for rebuilding. but that's just me....

Won't touch an a833 round these parts for under $600 with shifter and bell...18 spline? Forget it. $1500 and up.

I payed $ 800 for a 18 spline unit 3 years ago. 69 unit with the single shifter pad. No rods or shifter. Great shape but needs new seals. I payed another  $300 for a correct 69 bell for a bb with 143 tooth flywheel.

I scored a disassembled 18 spline (1970 transmission) for $200 about 2 years ago -  assembled it and sold it for $1000

In the early 80's a friend of mine sold off his 1st generation Charger & had some parts in his shed. I stopped by his place one day while he was cleaning out his shed & he asked me if I wanted the parts he no longer needed. He had a cast iron 440-4V intake, an 18 spline four speed with the bell housing from a 1971 GTX & a few other things that I can't remember. He gave me all of it for $25.  

I had 2 automatic cars at the time so I sold the four speed & bell for $125 at Englishtown a year later & kept the intake since I needed one.

The going price for an 18 spline core back then was about $150 which was a lot.

So is there anyone that can tell me where this trans/bellhousing came out of and if it will fit/work in a '68 Charger with a 440?

[red69superbee]

theres a guy here in my town that says he has an 18 spline tranny out of a 69 roadrunner, wants 800 bucks for it

Bellhousing    2468370 is a A833 bellhousing from a 1966 B / C Body application with a 361 or 383 ---  in short yes...   it'll work with your 440 as long as you use a 130 tooth flywheel and 10.5" clutch.

Thanks for the info Alex.
I opened the case today and the inside looks good and everything moves freely so can I assume it does not need to be overhauled?

Came late to this thread, and gather it has been already addressed with the E v B stamping.  The shifter mounts on the forward of the two mounting points for the B body and the rear one for E body, right, meaning that the linkage would be different, but the trans (and shifter?)shouldn't have a problem whichever body they fit into.  I don't have any idea about the bell housing.
