Then, it is probably the original '55 Ford-O-Matic, or it could be a '56 which is identical to the '55, but it is definitely not a '57, because those had water-cooled converter.

If I didn't mention it in my 2-19 post, there is MORE THAN ONE shop manual. The CAR shop manual covers all cars, wagons and Thunderbird, but DOES NOT cover the Ford-O-Matic transmission or trucks.
There is a SEPARATE Ford-O-Matic shop manual that covers the passing gear adjustment completely for all vehicles of that year.
There is a separate shop manual for trucks.
