The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Pictures, part #s, instructions; rebuilding a 39 style trans.

I have ordered the books from Vern Tardel and also Mac Vanpelt and once they arrive I can use them to identify the gears that are damaged (for replacement numbers) and start with a list of items I will need for the rebuild; syncros, bearings, shims and spacers, gasket set etc. I have pictures of the trans before disassembly and will take more as I have things cleaned up and can compare them to the chapters in the books. I had not planned on doing a "trans build" article, but now that I have most of the parts cleaned it might be fun to follow along. I have only done model A' Ford and G.M. T-10, so this is somewhat of a challenge. I will keep you posted...
