In this episode I try to re-cap on how I was able to pull the little Dual Cable Torqueflite 904 Automatic Transmission from this 1965 Dodge Dart GT. One cable operates the gear selector and the other operates the "Park" lever to put the transmission in "Park" mode. The Shift Cable isn't too bad to remove from the transmission, but the Park Cable is a NIGHT-Mare in the making. To get around all of this I left them all intact to keep them in adjustment and to prevent any damage on the rubber seals, gaskets, and spring tension.
This is an issue that you come across on many occasions but with a little patience you can do it this way without damaging any those rare, and overpriced pieces and parts you might need later, saving you time and money in the end that can be used to keep your Hot Rod or Classic Mopar on the road where it wants to be. And on a side note...... even if I don't use any of these rare and expensive OEM parts.... there are many people out there that are looking for these parts to restore their vehicles, and they are either willing to buy these or trade me stuff that I need to complete my projects. The more you save, the more resources you have at your disposal to get your project on the road where it wants to be...... and your wallet happy with the progress you're making.
Hope that helps some of you out there, and with a little luck this little 1965 Dodge Dart will make it to the #nonamenationals this September with the rest of the Mopar crew. In it's own..... NoCar kind of way.
