1941 Ford Tranmission
I was told to remove the 3 speed transmission the rear end would have to be remove? Is the no other option? Thanks for any help. Jerry

Re: 1941 Ford Tranmission
Removing the rear axle as a complete drive unit with spring attached is not as difficult a task as folks might think as long as a person has a way to support the frame and body at the rear of the vehicle and in front of the rear axle. The whole thing can be rolled back in order to pull the trans. As was mentioned, option two is to pull the motor and trans at the front.

And the heater, to get to the top transmission bolts.

Once the rear is rolled back enough to disconnect the U joint from the rear of the transmission, block the front of the torque tube down as far as you can, because the rear of the transmission is going to have to come back over it, and you can only jack up the rear of the engine so far, due to the bell housing hitting the firewall. Disconnect the clutch actuator bar and remove the top transmission bolts before jacking up the engine. I suggest two strong young lads to slide the transmission back and lift it out of the floor. Removing the seat makes it easier, but is not necessary. Given what a pain it is either way, be sure the clutch disk, pressure plate, pilot bearing and throwout bearing are in good shape before putting the transmission back in, If the transmission is wiggled in removing it, the clutch disk can get misaligned with the pilot bearing, so check said alignment before putting the tranny back in. Use an old transmission front shaft, or they sell a clutch alignment tool. Nothing more frustrating than fighting to get the 80 lb transmission lined up and having it refuse to go forward that last inch. With the transmission in neutral, it is usually not too hard to get the U joint to slip on. It takes one person at the rear, rolling the rear forward, and one at the front aligning the joint to the shaft. Watch your fingers! Have fun! |

Re: 1941 Ford Tranmission
Great information drolston. Thanks for sharing. I am in process of doing the same thing on my '47 sedan to replace the clutch. Lots of good tips.

Re: 1941 Ford Tranmission
You may have to turn the transmission to one side to pull it back to clear the cross member. I had to do this on my 40.
