I was just thinking filling one up for storage. I'm sure I could figure out a way to temporarily seal the front shaft. I just know if it's plumb full of oil for storage it can't get moisture in there to harm anything.

thanks, and i agree, almost looks stock. if it wasn't for the very long shifter travel between 1st and reverse it could have been just like stock. soon ill be in the market for another spicer 3053a. i want one to fully rebuild, swap out, and rebuild this one.. fill to the top with oil, and store...

1st and reverse, that should explain the odd bends and the angle iron was added because in reverse it would hit the dash right at the shifter stub. there was no way to make it bend any sharper. though all of that is hidden under the boot. currently uploading videos to youtube used a random...

awesome, thanks. im going to hit the local salvage yards today. going to find a shift lever isolator to instal as i think that will end my issues. i can feel that large spring is still intact in the shifter by pressing down on it quite hard. im thinking im getting different harmonics in the...

You're right I asked a question there

I see a lot of OEM shifters especially any Dodge truck with a Cummins having a damper built into the shift. Maybe doing so to my shifter would help. Is the shift lever stub removable from the shift tower without removing the top cover I know some Transmissions have an anti rattle plunger or...

not a problem at all, just had me confused as i just signed up here lol... i was thinking maybe im not alone in this dodge 3053a swap lol

this thread should be the only one i posted asking for info on the top cover. the only other place my truck is even mentioned is where i announce myself in the new members area

lol, im afraid that you may be correct. might have to make a shift handle out of something other than metal to kill the harmonics... or figure out some way of attaching a damer to it.. its perfectly in sync with the clatter of the cummins and exhaust note... really leaning towards it being...

im thinking you might be correct... got a line on another top cover somewhat locally. probably going to buy it and try it. there is plenty of clearance on the TB to the pressure plate, and the TB and collar are new, everything attached from the slave cylinder to the TB are in spec. there is no...

hmm, well my issue is an audible jingle in the shift lever itself. its a metal on metal rattle. resting my hand firmly on the shifter makes it stop.. removing the shifter while in motion makes it stop. removing the knob made no difference. there is spring pressure going from center to the left...

1st Is the topcover rebuildable, if so please post a link to where i can find these parts. 2nd is there a bushing where the shifter pivots in the shift tower.
