Ditto on VanPelt Sales. He tries to get the best parts currently available and his snap rings are the correct dimensions. Some of the other suppliers sell stuff that doesn't give the correct clearances.

3X for Mac Van Pelt. I checked his how to rebuild book and his 2018 catalog and there are some references to the '32 to '34 transmission parts but I'm not sure if the 4 cyl. and the V8's were interchangeable. In any event, Mac will know and be able to help you.

The B-transmission is a step up from the model A and it has helical gear teeth and is sychronized just like the early V8 transmission. In fact, they share a lot of parts with the early V8 transmission. It just has a different case to fit the 4-banger.

Mac VP's book will be a good call for the B model transmission even though there isn't a lot of info for it directly. The principle of operation and function is the same.

Mac does a great job of tracking down the best parts, but you can rest assured that if they are NOS parts they are going to fit together, and Fred is your man, (barnfind08)

We stock ball bearings made by Naichi.....a prominent Japanese bearing mfr who’s been in the business for many years. I’ve installed many hundred of their products over the years, and we’ve sold several thousand. I can count the defective bearings on one hand!
