Re: 47 Tonner pickup Tranny 4speed
Sometimes I feel like a broken record on this issue. Please don’t use a hardened pin or drill stock for this part. You want the cheapest and easiest to replace part to be the pin……not the shifter...

Re: Clutch Release Shaft Bushing tool
You can use an old slender tipped screwdriver….one that you’ve already pounded on before, and work the tip against the edges of the old bushing. Drive down to force the bushing inward. Generally,...

Re: NEW products available thread
We didn’t have a large quantity made for the first time….. wanted to see how they fit and get an idea of what the demand would be before we have more made. I’m very happy with the fit.

Re: Transmission Main Shaft ID Needed
Don’t forget the possibility of this main drive gear being the B-7017 which is the 1932-34 version. The following links to our website pages will make this more clear to you.

Re: 8RT vs Early 24-stud Length
The spacing issues have more to do with the cooling fan structure on the front of the engine….the front edge of the 49-53 fan blade is going to be situated closer to the radiator than the various...

Re: Borg Warner Overdrive Slip Yoke
I question the 31 spline count on the slip yoke. All of the Ford light duty 3 speed transmissions, including the R10 overdrive, had 16 splines on the output shaft.
For the slip yoke to slide on...

Re: Ultra Sonic Cleaner
The degreasing process is going to vary according to the level of grease buildup on the parts and the amount of precleaning you do. Many of the transmission parts we want to clean are heavily coated...

Re: Starter Drive Gear
Use 32-47 flywheels on 32-47 engines. Use 49-53 flywheels on 49-53 engines. Don’t mix the two styles as the starter ring gear offset is different.
I purposefully kept 1948 engines from the above...

Re: '48 F1 4 speed trans color
We’ve always painted the 1948-52 versions black in our shop. I’ve never been 100% certain on 1947 and back so we ask the customer what they want for color and try to work with that if doable.

Re: 1936 3 speed trans for parts
The case would be the 48-7006 type and those are practically the same as the 78-7006 cases (as long as the transmission is being built with the 28 tooth cluster gear). Strip out the gears and check...

Re: 49-51 Merc steering gearbox help
I just need the actual thickness of the gasket material. If there’s a scrap left on the cover I may be able to carefully scrape it off and mic it. Thanks for your help!
