I took out the tranny and will be buying a new clutch... The pressure plate was bad, and everything ells was in need of changing. This was taken out of my 67 plymouth signet. Is this a "526 tranny?" Just wondering. Have a nice day!

Looks kinda like an A-903, but I'm not the expert on early trannies..hope someone has a more solid opinion on the subject...

No bump on the top cover so it's the standard duty 903 3-speed, the "heavy duty" one is called a "745".
Both types have a non-syncrow first gear, column shift linkage 3 speed trans.
Hate to say it but these things are no fun to drive. (kinda like driving a farm tractor)

See if you can find an 833 4-speed set-up for the car.

Bolt....where, (generally), are you located? If you decide to do as Doug suggests, I've got a complete A833OD setup from a van that I could make you a really good deal on. You'd have to shorten your driveshaft and come up with a shifter, but.......

I have a pile of these 3-speeds I would sell for "a song" if you want to try-out your barstool idea !

I am very pleased with the slant-6. With a new clutch in the car I was able to drive it for the first time. This little car was a blessing and came at the right time. With your help, and the Lords all the mechanical work went very smooth. Smile

Hmmm what's wrong with farm tractors? The new ones have 30 gear drive speeds and no clutch!

Wow, the last tractor I drove had a no syncrow tranny and a shift mechanisum which needed a searchlight so you could find a gear.
Sounds like I need to get out of Silicon Valley and back to the farm, to check-out some of the new equipment.

I think I had one of these in a red '63? Valiant convertible I owned about 30 yrs ago. It had Hurst floor shift linkage, and a fiberglas tunnel.
