I am in need of the Intermediate Shaft to Overdrive planet Spacer (0.158") I have found the .175", .193" and .211" but can't find the .158"........

Thank you Bud for that post, very informative and needed information.... I think I about have my head wrapped around it all now..... mostly lol...

lol, I may have one soon, the case/tail housing still look good, most of the main trany good, but the OD inner stuff is toast.... Not sure what the owner wants to do with it after this is all figured out...

Yes, that is what I am seeing looking at car-part.com also for transmissions... However I am pretty sure that is with the torque converter... I have a sneaky feeling that taken the converter out of the equation, then it will be much more interchangeable, as the flywheel and balance changed...

Thank you, that led me to Pullapart Interchange, mainly for newer vehicles, but you could use it to retro fit the OD's for the FMJ's out there.... Sorry, didn't mean for this to turn into a Dakota thread, but hopefully it will help someone working on an OD unit for their Hot Rods, giving a...

Don't guess one out of a D150 would work??... I wish I knew what all models it would work out of...

OK, so as long as RWD V6 Dakota RH and not RE it should bolt in and plug in....

BudW, by any chance do you know what years/vehicles are directly interchangeable, meaning plug and play??? Its a 1988 Dakota V6 RWD A500 Main part of VIN if needed 1B7GN14X1JS****** I have the complete VIN if needed....

Bad

I probably replace more than I need to when building a transmission, and ALL VB's come apart 100% for cleaning... It's a 1988 Dakota V6 RWD, not sure if that would be a 40RH or 42RH, being a basic V6 RWD I would guess a 40, but that is about all I am confused about..... The main concern was...

Yeah, the direct drum, low/reverse drum, clutches and most of the OD unit are cooked... Plan B, looking for a rebuildable core or a good used one...

Thanks Bud for the reply, you replied as I was posting... Didn't see it until after the fact...

Never mind, OD spring had collapsed and or welded itself to the OD hub... it's not worth rebuilding....

A500 OD spring is completely collapsed inside OD hub, is it possible it is still under tension and stuck or just completely dead and not falling out, the bottom of the spring and OD hub are even.....

Thanks!!!
