I have a second transmission in the barn. I don't remember where it came from. This one is numbered 2B518 + Star symbol. The case looks similar to the Lincoln transmission that I asked about a few days ago. The clutch shaft fitting is different. Any help will be appreciated. I've tried to find the serial numbers on the internet without success obviously. Cheers, Al

appears to be 39 car or maybe even later light commercial. Look for the number in the flat area, just above the inspection cover. That will identify the basic case only. The top and the rear bearing retainer (motor mount) will have part numbers but it is better to remove the top shifter and look at the syncro hub or measure the width of the shift fork. 3" wide is 39 and later 2-7/8" is 38 Many transmissions are put together from parts from various years.

40 coupe is correct. Need to open the trans to figure out the gears. From the outside, you have a 40 on up Ford clutch release shaft, you have a 38 up double detent shift housing and you have a 37-41 rear bearing mount. Above the inspection plate is a stamped number designating the car id that the trans case was placed. At the lower back is a casting number telling you what vintage the case was cast.

Thanks to 40 Coupe and Juergen for the input. The number on the bellhousing, just above the removable inspection plate is "2 B518" followed by a star. What is the best resource to look up ID numbers for this sort of thing? I have been on the VanPelt site with no success. I'll check out the shifter fork on the weekend. I didn't know about the lower back serial number. I'll check that out as well. Cheers, Al
