OD transmission question

[maineguy]

I have a '51 Victoria with the 3 speed OD. What other year OD's are the same and will fit? Thanks in advance.

No other year is a direct fit, although most of the internals will swap out. The main difference is in the mount on the bottom.

1951 was a change over year. FoMoCo 3-speed standard and overdrive transmissions changed over to the later type gears with the diamond cut teeth plus changes to the aft engine/transmission mount. Even the late 51 Merc OD transmission carried a different part number but they are very similar. In 1952, the transmissions were standardized more for both the Ford cars and the Mercury cars.

The side cover for the 51 is also unique, a one-year only design.
