5 Speed Conversion

[imtb]

It was worth the work, I got to test drive this evening and couldn’t get enough. I love the sound of straight cut gears but this is so smooth and sporty and no grinding to down shift.
Still a few loose ends finish up parking brake, I got the brake light switched figured out.
Really pleased with it and since I have owned Model A’s no one has ever crawled under car and commented on drive train.
The other plus, I am not leaving a puddle of gear oil from a leaking transmission.
I would recommend The Model A 5 speed conversion kit it very complete and good customer service.
Now onto a new steering box.

The first thing that I noticed when I installed the F-150 trans was how quiet the gearset runs, straight cut gears make a lot of noise
Interesting, in the link they relocated the cross member to the rear so that they did not cut half of it away for the shifter and the install also used the torque tube and not an open driveline.

Glad to hear that you had a positive experience like I did and you are correct I can't leave mine alone . Got to go to Lowes jump in the A , post office run jump in the A and a large number of other errands as well .
Made a fun car even more fun.
