Re: [Chevelle-list] Viper T56 update
I got the impression from talking to Don that they weren't 100% sure until they inspected my trans. Dodge hasn't had any problems with the Viper shifters. So, D&D thinks my longer shifter handle might be the problem,since the stock Viper shifter has no internal stops. All of the aftermarket shifter assemblies,including D&D's,feature positive stops. I can tell you I wasn't impressed with the stock unit and was waiting for Hurst to finish their new Viper shifter. My long handle magnifies any slop in the stock shifter mechanism and makes the throws seem quite long. I've driven a few Vipers and their short shifter handles make for very positive throws. Why not run a shorter handle on my car? Well,to do so would probably require notching my bench seat. Looks like I will have to do that now.
