- My non o/d transmission is a little funny and I am thinking of putting in an O/D replacement if I can find one reasonably priced. Is it as simple as pulling the old non o/d unit out and popping in t

- Yes...it's a straight bolt in. I just did mine last weekend. You need to also grab the tranny rear mount plate that bolts to the chassis, the speedo cable is different as is the speedometer (1280 rev

- Maybe this is the end of a conversation and I missed some early info but isn't there a drive shaft difference as well? I also found that the drive flange was different (J-type OD). I ran into some ot

- Well yes. YOu have to get a OD main shaft in the trans to mate with the OD unit. This requires lots of internal trans work. After the correct main shaft is in, the OD unit slides right on. Don't forg

- Paul, I have done this conversion many times. There is no difference in the speedometer! The one that is already is the correct one. To show the point, if you are in fourth gear your tach and speedo

- I did the swap a while back, and I kept my original 1280 speedometer. It reads about 8% too low, but most of this can be attributed to the 165/80 tires I have (which are bigger than stock). Also my M

- Sorry to spoil your beliefs... but I can guarantee you there are different gear ratios floating around out there that were used on the J type O/D There are 1280 and 1000 rev to a mile variations that

- Paul, if you are running a standard 3.89:1 diff than you need the 1280 speedo. Been driving a spit like this for three years and I know it is correct. The only reason you would need a different speed

- I've never done an O/D conversion (my car already had o/d) - but I really can't see how it could affect the speedo. The speedo is measuring the speed of the prop-shaft (or, at least, an internal part
