56 t/bird auto
I have a mate who has a 56. t/bird that has the auto out of it, and needs some parts for the said auto, he tells me its the medium case model,
Would anyone know a supplier for the auto parts. Thanks Lawrie |

Re: 56 t/bird auto
I recently bought parts from AutoTran (located in Massachusetts) for my 1957 Skyliner (front seal kit is what I purchased). The parts came fairly quickly and the prices seemed reasonable. They also list complete rebuild kits for the Fordomatics, so it might be worth a try (of course, shipping to Australia might be expensive)

Unfortunately for our friends down under, nothing is cheap when it comes to old car parts that have to come from the states.

Re: 56 t/bird auto
Fatsco transmission is another supplier that has all rebuild wear parts, gaskets, seals clutches, steel plates etc. But be aware the Thunderbird transmission is a hybrid. Main case is medium case but it is mated to a small case tailshaft so if rear seal and/or rear bushing are needed be sure to mention that to the vendor you choose, and order appropriately.
