Post by: markcapen on January 28, 2023, 12:08:36 PM
Selling working 3 speed manual transmission currently installed in my 1941 60 Special which was installed as a temp transmission so car could be driven when restoring original transmission. $350.00 Also have parts for Engine and trim parts. 100_4000.JPG

For anyone considering this 41 and up tail shaft and housing is not the same as 40 and back.  Internals in trans interchange to all but there are some differences in materials.

I thought 38 thru 41 60S were all the same   when I can figure out how to upload some pictures I will do so

Sincerely

     Do the 38-48 internal parts interchange to the 37 floor shift  transmission?   Jim Stamper CLC#13470

I think the image from the shop manual should help with the question of appliciability .

I agree with Brad re: differences between 38-40 and 41 and later.

Most parts interchange between 37 floor shift and later.  One difference is that the countershaft diameter was increased from 15/16ths of an inch in 37 to 1 inch in 38 and later.  It is possible to bore and/or ream the two countershaft holes in the '37 case to 1 inch in diameter and install a '38 or later countershaft and countershaft (cluster) gear.

Is the trans together or disassembled?
