Re: F150 4 Speed Transmission
Gary Bernard makes the overdrive units here in Texas. Ron Kelley did 1 before, but not producing them. If you want Gary's contact info let me know. He builds these overdrive units, and actually owns a transmission shop, so he's is actually a professional transmission repair Man. Not somebody messing with them without proper training. He can fix you up with what you need, and it'll be a quality product. Some of the other guys that make the kit, may end up selling you some junk yard stuff, or something they wouldn't have used themselves.

Re: F150 4 Speed Transmission
There is at least one other guy that makes a quality kit, but he's not in Texas.

Re: F150 4 Speed Transmission
GUYS, TIME OUT...........the man just asked a simple question about parts for the F150 he already has installed in his speedster. "Anyone have any of these parts (cap, spring and washer that hold down the shifter) they are willing to part with or know where I can find them?" Why are you jumping all over him about asking his question. The F150 OD conversion has been discussed here hundreds and hundreds of times along with a lot of other "non-stock" parts. Seems like a few members are getting a little too righteous.

Re: F150 4 Speed Transmission
Aboneskd, I am almost sure you have a Ford RTS four speed transmission, this is a modern light weight aluminum case four speed, with various ratios of overdrive in fourth. I seriously doubt someone would use a heavy duty " granny geared first" four speed in a Model A. I have one in my 28 A v8. I cut off the ugly stick shift that it came with, welded on an old ford stick of unknown vintage and tack welded a ford cap on top of the RTS cap, fools everyone. I think Ford only used these for two years or so in the mid 80's. Rich

Re: F150 4 Speed Transmission
I got the parts from Machine Girl. It is an aluminum case straight 4 speed, no overdrive. Maybe I didn't explain it well in my first post.

Re: F150 4 Speed Transmission
More clarification! The Ford F150 OD transmission is - to Ford _ a 3 speed with OD. It is a Tremec RTS. The FORD Four Speed is a separate animal, has a cast iron case and not a good candidate for OD in a Model A. The Four Speed Tremec RTS, the one with an aluminum case and fourth gear is 1:1 is most lickely out of a Jeep. Same tranny, same case just different gears on the inside. A lot of the partts are interchangable.
I have been building these kits for a Model A fifteen years now and any part or trans kit that I build is one I would not hesitate to put in my own car. I dont build no junk yard stuff, thank you. ken |

Re: F150 4 Speed Transmission
I suggest you to try auto transmission service Cucamonga, CA, as they are expert in transmission repairing, they may be having it.
