Hello, a friend of mine aquired this Ford(?) 3sp transmission with a bunch of flathead parts. We were unable to locate any marking on the transmission and would like to know what exactly we've got. Since some of the parts originated from Eastern Germany there is a chance that it is a GAZ transmission.
Open it up and look but I doubt it's a 39. I say that looking at the leaning top. I believe that says 36 if I remember right. Top center of the bell housing on the flat spot is the i.d. numbers to tell you exctly what it started life as, that still don't mean much. Open the top and look. The Wizzard
That rear mount is '35-6 IIRC. But that could be changed easily. The Serial number stamped on the top pad will tell you exactly what year it was made when you decode it here: http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_serialnumbers.htm
Visually, it is a 1935. For a real ID...go here to date the case from its serial #: http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_serialnumbers.htm That will tell you for sure when the case left Detroit. Then go Here to see if innards have been messed with. Probably not with the early shifter still there... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/39-ford-transmission-prices.91515/
Thanks, will have a closer look for the numbers. Good to know its a Ford flathead transmission anyway.
Appears to be a 35 based on the rear mount and the slanted shift tower. Would have straight cut teeth on the low / reverse gears. Seems to have an odd hub for the clutch release bearing.
