Strange Transmission Modification
I've been in the process of moving and going through my old car stuff. I had this spare transmission and was looking it over to see if it was worth a hoot and noticed the strange large gear welded on to the input shaft. A corresponding small gear is welded to the cluster gear. Any idea why?

Re: Strange Transmission Modification
When you shift gears what is the action of the output shaft?

Re: Strange Transmission Modification
I know it's hard to see, but notice the center of the cluster has been machined off.

I don't see a cluster gear at least not a whole one. Bob |

Re: Strange Transmission Modification
It appears that the only functions are straight through like normal third gear, and reverse engaged and not engaged. And reverse is either 1 to 1 or very close.

Re: Strange Transmission Modification
The boat idea makes some sense.

Re: Strange Transmission Modification
it looks like it was made to run at a high speed in reverse and direct drive forward. they have machined off low and second gears off the cluster gears. I will go with a boat.

Re: Strange Transmission Modification
Strange, but using it to operate a boat or winch does seem to make sense. Still, for a boat or winch, I'd have used a stock tranny.

Re: Strange Transmission Modification
Unfortunately, I can't see much of a reason to keep this in my "collection". Can't see much of any use for anything...

Re: Strange Transmission Modification
There are some good parts to be saved. Don't throw it away, but pass it to someone that would use or save the good parts.
