Does the 1936 Ford transmission have front seal #78-7052? I find conflicting info in several manuals and catalogs.

Not from the factory, however the trans could have a later snout fitted that carries the seal

If it doesn't have the later "78" bearing retainer with a seal, find one and install it with a new seal. I have plenty of them if you need one.

Change the input bearing retainer to the later one with the seal. KISS .
