Below is a '40 through '48 "SIDE LOADER" trans, so-called because it's shifting is accomplished via the shift arms on the side, instead of on the "top"! Replace the entire gearset from your "side loader" into your "top loader" trans. It's a great gear set, and is actually the same design as the '39 Ford gear set. Show us some pictures! DD
