My mistake this is the difference between early and late 1950 m6 transmissions

I found a pic on aaca that shows the m5 next to m6

So neither Transmission is original. I thought 48 was the first year of the m6.

The motor has a letter code ind. From what I read it was used for an industrial application. It doesn't surprise me that the linkage is shop made. I think I will remove the trans in the car and put the other one in. There is no history on the car but it seems like the original motor died but the trans still worked. They put the industrial motor in and then stopped working on it. This car was in a wrecking yard before I got it. Let me know if I am making a mistake installing the trans that is out of the car. Thank you

This is the other side of the trans in the car and the linksge

Here is a number on the case

This is the trans in the car

This is the side next to the fork

Here is a pic of the end

I will send a pic of the trans tomorrow it has linkage on it that doesn't work with the clutch and brake linkage. You will see

Joe The parts fit the car but not the trans. I think it is an early trans linkage doesn't match my shifter either

I will look for the code. It came with the 48 Desoto. There is another trans in the car but it looks older. No wires on it. The motor is a 52 Chrysler Spitfire. I think it was an industrial motor. I just got some clutch and brake parts and it didn't fit against transmission. I think this trans probably was the original. I will clean it up and share the pics of both and the end where the shaft attaches.

Can you identify this? I think it's 47 desoto

QEC that is a cool idea. I'm gonna try that
