Car is a 1965 Dodge Dart GT 225cid 904 trans Floor Shifter With console.

I'm sick of the twin cable transmission !!!! I refuse to pay $340.00 plus shipping. for a pair of cables! Another problem came about last week. I noted a HUGE Tranny fluid leak. The small cover at the rear Of the tranny pan, that houses one of the cables is broken at one of the bolt holes. I found out it was broken off when I took the bolt out and the corner of the cover dropped and hit me in the mouth!!!!! What I need to know is what other 904 will bolt in? I don't to change anything other than the transmission. I realize I will have To deal with a way to shift the new tranny I will either modify the factory shifter or use an aftermarket unit.

I could REALLY use some advice/help

You can bolt in the '66-'67 automatic and use the later floor shifter fairly easily. The trans bolts right in, but the shifter will require a little fabrication work as the bracket is welded to the floor.

With the 66-67 trans, you will also have to change the driveshaft. 65 used the B&T front universal, where the 66 up use a "standard" slip yoke.

If you swap in a '66-'67 transmission, you'll have to rework the shifter and get a different driveshaft (slipyoke and cross and roller front U-joint rather than bolt-up ball and trunnion front U-joint), and you'll need a different speedometer cable.

If you try to swap in a '68 or later transmission, in addition to the above you'll also have to have either a custom torque converter (small nose, large spline) or you'll have to replace the '68+ input shaft and pump drive with '67-down pieces.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

If using the 66-up 904, use the adapter shifter cable from Imperial Services. Allows you to use your original shifter w/o mods and the replacement transmission - minor mods to the valve body need to be done there.

Why not just use an aftermarket shifter with the later tranny?

Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.

If you were in Oregon, I'd give you a 1967 A904 for a rebuilder....

The original poster will have to decide, but me, I've never seen an aftermarket shifter that doesn't look dorky...

I am putting a t-5 in my 1965 Plymouth right now. My 904 is in good shape, and worked really well. Best of all, I was beyond careful taking it out, and followed the shop manual to the letter. I may end up kicking myself for this, but if we can figure out a cheap way to ship it to you, I am willing to part with it for a small amount. I am in southern California.

(I gotta tell you, I have really mixed emotions posting this, but I am hoping to build up good parts Karma for some future need. Call it the 'Layson' effect that I am trying to avoid.)

Why, you selling Chinese parts as NOS with the Mopar logo and afraid you might get arrested?

I could send you a replacement (used) "park pawl" cover for your current trans...
