jluna94 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Hello, is there any spots in Orange County that anyone recommends to rebuilt the transmission? Very iffy where to take it. Also, would like to lower the gear ratio, due to having stroke engine. Thanks for the help in advance. Quote Link to comment

I assume the 411 has an H-190 rear axle. Mike? If you have 3.889 go down to 3.70 or even 3.545. Speedometer pinion will need to be changed to keep speedometer correct. What transmission?

jluna94 Posted October 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 It’s a manual transmission Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Mike what did they have in the 411? F4W63 like the 510/521? F4W71A like the S30? Quote Link to comment

I have the British Borg Warner, the manuals were 4 on the floor [that's all I needed to know]. Quote Link to comment

Make sure the clutch isn't dragging against the flywheel if difficult to shift. Does it grind going into reverse??? Clutch is also likely adjustable.... try for 1/16-1/8" pedal play. Change the oil, probably GL-4 NOT GL-5. Synthetic oil shifts much better, including downshifting but it can start leaking past the old rear seal. Eliminate anything outside before thinking about a rebuild. Quote Link to comment
