46windsir Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hello everyone I tried searching the forms and I can’t really find anything I got a 1946 Chrysler Windsor With a fluid drive transmission I had swapped the car over to 12v thinking it was best but that was a rookie mistake I made at the being of my build years ago, I was considering using a 12v to 6v Reducier so I could retain the the fluid drive But I don’t wanna take a chance frying out the Solenoid or the governor , or ignition interrupter as they are up in price , i’ve been driving the car for a few days as if it were a regular Standard and it was working great until today I can put it in high gear , only in reverse or low gear , So my question is is there anyway I can put a three speed standard transmission in the car , I still have the stock flat head engine in the car . Any thoughts will be much appreciated . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Elder Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm pretty sure all the components you are worried about come in 12V, DodgeB4ya would know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajgkirkwood Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 My motor in my 1940 chrysler Is a 265 from a 1954 windsor which I was told to be fluid drive. The motor is mated to the stock 3 speed from the 1940. The only issue I have is down shifting isn't great, grinds if going to fast but could be because syncros are worn?
