Going manual

Work is progressing on changing the transmission in the Cuda. A 5-speed  tremec TKO 600 will be passing the power to the rear instead of the torqueflite in the future. The 0.64:1 final drive of the tremec will reduce rpms on the highway, a much appreciated improvement considering the cruising speed of 85 to 90 mp/h  on the left lane around here :-)

 The 4-speed hump has been grafted on to the floorpan of the Cuda, along with some modification of the passenger side front of the transmission tunnel to acomodate for the bigger bulk of the transmission. Again, Doc Stinger of the Mopargarage is performing the work.
