ok I am trying to find info on the t-85 tranny, like what are the gear ratios for first and second or a direct bolt in replacement that is a all around better tranny that will bolt to a dana 20 also.
Thanks in advance
Jeremy

Get rid of it and get a T-18. The three speed non-synched first is a pain. The gear ratio I believe is on the tech facts page. If not I have a magazine with it them in it. I will have to find it if you can't google search it.

Jeremy,
We should talk.
I'm scrapping a 67, 327/TH400/D20 wag right now.
You ever consider going Auto?
If so...
Adapter is trashed, TH400 internals have a home but the case is free, (Mikie probably can set you up), D20 I need to keep, don't need any of the 327 bolt up stuff though.
Need any engine parts?
Heads, block...?
