TECH HELP: '53 3-Speed Overdrive Trans in a '40 Tudor????
Will the later ('53) overdrive 3-speed bolt up to the earlier motor('40)? If so how much modification is need in the mounting department?
If all of that is good, how do those trannys work? Are they manually or electrically actuated? Thanks! |

Not worth the grief, in my opinion. Send Mitchell a 2Tune and get a decent inline OD...

A 2Tune is Brit for 2 Grand. Mine is the 36%, lever operated style. Brings out my inner Enzo, quite like driving a six speed - think 75 mph in 2nd gear. Always that "just right" gear for cornering & passing, plus I can now actually leave town in the '37... |

Easy swap, take out the old torque tube and replace with the Mitchell. 4 hour job, either 26 or 36 % overdrive. Just put one in my 41, running SBC and early running gear, makes for a fun ride.
