FE 153 tooth flywheel and later starter?
I have a 59 Galaxie with a 352. I know some things have been changed over the years as it has a later (wide) bolt pattern bell housing and a 69 Toploader 3 speed.
I am putting a 4 speed in it and...

The trans is 27.5" long, has a 28 spline output, and 10 spline 1-1/16" input. Has both narrow and wide bolt pattern.
I believe you...

Re: Toploader main shaft interchange
Color codes for the gears are available. You just need to make sure the cable is spinning the correct direction and is 1,000? revelations/mile.

Re: Toploader main shaft interchange
No, it depends on if the speedo gear is over or under the drive head on the main shaft. Mine was originally over the shaft 6 tooth. Now it will be under, so a reverse thread but still 6 tooth.

Re: Toploader main shaft interchange
Now I have 3 toploaders completely disassembled and will use the best parts from the 3.
Rebuild kit should be here this week.

Re: Toploader main shaft interchange
Well discovered that there really is no such thing as main shaft interchange. Different bearing diameters and thicknesses. The truck versions have larger bearings, but are thinner.
So the plan is...

Re: Toploader main shaft interchange
Thank you for the VanPelt link. Replied to my email and answered the phone! We are working on seeing if what I need was ever even made.
I should just give up and make it a 5 speed floor shift.....

Re: Toploader main shaft interchange
I graphed 3 different transmissions to get a visual of the gap between gears.
I think the ratios for the "car unit" are quite acceptable.

Re: Toploader main shaft interchange
Everything will bolt up and work other than the short output and the speedo cable on the wrong side. Both of these can be corrected by either getting a longer output shaft and being able to use my...

Re: Toploader main shaft interchange
Yes, the case has a slight bulge for the O/D counter gear.
But I'm saying it's essentially a 4 speed that was converted to a 3+O/D. The counter shaft and syncros are all the same part as a 4...
