BEFORE you disconnect anything!
where do the 2 cooler lines WITH TRANS FLUID IN THEM go to?
mine has 3 fittings on passenger side of main case.
2 upfront by bellhousing HI and LO.
1 at rear of main case LO.
all 3 on the passenger side!

Have A Nice Day!

Hi?

[all american boy]

'56
on passenger side.
2 fittings on mine AT FRONT are 'ONE ABOVE THE OTHER'
that gives a HI and a LO one.
1 fitting at back is all by it's lonesome and LO (low on case, near bottom)
is pointed at tube coming out of FRONT HI (high) fitting/tapped hole?

one is 'upper' and one is 'lower'
where does your line you pointed to
go to?

I will have to check on it

AAB,
If the transmission in your 64 is original to that vehicle,it's a COM.The two fittings on the side are for cooler lines.The fitting on the lower rear is for a vacuum modulator.The modulator screws into that fitting and a vacuum line runs from there to an outlet on the intake manifold of the engine.


56 Ford Custom,
The FOMs did not have a vacuum modulator.An air cooled FOM would not have any fittings on the case for cooling lines.FOMs made after mid-56 do have fittings for cooler lines,but not for a modulator.

Thats some good info. I would really like to know what my two transmissions are. So ai get get this truck and car put together.

[all american boy]

'56
how about saying which fitting the
line you were pointing to goes to?
if it goes to either one of front 2 fittings
and which one, upper or lower?
bob

after you find which fitting the line
you pointed to goes to do this:
1 the two lines on TOP of cooler are
are the fluid lines.
they SHOULD go to the REMAINING 2 fittings on
side of trans.
2 now you clean trans
3 take off cooler and trans lines and water lines.
you're not putting them back on.
4 get 2 brass barbs from napa and 2 feet of black fuel hose.
5 put the barbs in the 2 TRANS FLUID fittings.
bypass the trans cooler for now.
6 put the engine and trans back in truck.
7 get a trans temp gauge from napa
drill a hole in trans pan. put the sender in.
8 drill a hole in floor
9 put the gauge on a rag on the floor

Have A Nice Day!

monday morning you call Charlytranny.com
http://www.charlietranny.com/
ask him if your tranny will stay in safe temperature range with
TRUCK TRANS COOLER W/WATER LINES removed & bypassed.
also ask him if fuel line will hold trans line pressure.

the extra line left over i'm 90% sure is VENT.

Have A Nice Day!

about that truck trans cooler
i read that is to WARM THE TRANS UP!
it's for when the temperature is 10 degrees outside.
engine water will get warmer faster than
trans fluid.
i live in california so bye-bye to that warmer/cooler on my trans.
your truck will drive with the bypass.
i guarantee you that you can test that tranny w/bypass hose setup.
if you want to put trans warmer/cooler back on later.
go for it!

Have A Nice Day!

[56 ford custom]

So if im going to be gettubg rid of it should I use the other trans?

[all american boy]

'56
just leave the warmer/cooler off.

use the transmission you've posted pic's of.

you're ready to put it all back together!

i would clean tranny real good.

i figure you have a pressure washer.

gunk and a hose with good water pressure will work.

for this get 4 or 6 cans.

use GUNK BRAND-ORIGINAL FORMULA.CHECK CAN BEFORE YOU BUY.

let the gunk do the work.

soak grunge real good.

leave it for 10-20 min.

come back and spray it.

Im sorry if I seem slow. Its just I have nno idea how to bypass or not use this cooler or warmer. Im nervous about doing that. I dont want to mess anything up.

[all american boy]

'56
not at all.

follow cooler lines from
warmer/cooler to fittings.
draw yourself a little picture.
where two lines go in tranny.
doesn't matter which is pump out & return.

then you're ready to START CLEANING!

before you put tranny back in
hook up 2 feet of hose.
