Yep, no problem at all. My 47 went from a 47 motor/47 tranny to a 50 motor/47 tranny to a 50 motor/53 tranny with no problems.

That is actually close to St. Louis Bob. Terry lives close to Edwardsville, IL. Which is north of Collinsville and Fairview Heights.

I'm not sure, but I think the Dairyland region is closer. Those in that club can confirm.

If not already mentioned in one of these transmission threads, just remember that the input shaft is a different length on the transmissions from a fluid drive as compared to the non-fluid drive. Input shaft can be swapped out.

My trans is from a non-fluid drive car... that is why it's not in use...:D

ok guys. update...rear diff fluid and trans fluid were full.

tossed it up on jackstands and ran it with a few people sround to listen to it...the majority of them were saying it sounds like it is coming from either the driveshaft area or rearend??

i dont think it is the rearend since it is only at higher rpms...however...the driveshaft doesnt had u-joints on it, it is a flange with 4 bolts on both ends, but there is a rubber seal much like a cv axle with the 2 steel clips on both ends but i have no idea what condition they are in under that, is this something that can be repaired/replaced if it is the issue? can a driveshaft place do it for me if i brought it to them?

what is under the rubber boots?

i think there is still some trans issue though cause along with the gringding after it quieted down, you can head what sounds like 2 thin metal discs spinning opposite way and a higher pitched spinning sound of them possibly rubbing together? any ideas? this sound definitely seems to be coming from inside the bellhousing area

Sounds like you might have a bad throwout bearing in the clutch and possibly a bad u-joint. I think the type of joints you have are called ball and trunion and I know nothing about them, maybe someone with knowledge of those will chime in. If you don't have a shop manual, you shouls see if you can get one. Brendan.

ok guys, to those of you keeping track of this, i have an idea?

can i pull the driveshaft out without the fluid leaking out of the tail and run it through the gears in order to single out the driveshaft/u-joints/rear axle?

does the flange bolt through the output spline and then the driveshaft bolts to it with the 4 bolts? i figured if i pull it and run it like that if it still grinds that leaves me one answer (trans/internals)

let me know, i thought this might work since it does this in neutral as well, so i am guessing there doesnt need to be a load on it in order to get it to do it if it is going to.

thanks

Karl,

Yes, you can remove the drive shaft without having the transmission fluid leak out. The seal is behind the emergency brake and driveshaft fitting. Sounds like a good way to test for the noise.
