55 Fargo Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 Hi all, would anyone be able to identify this trans, manufacturer modl number , etc. I do know it's not a New Process model SM 420. This is a synchro trans , possibly a Borg and Warner T98....thanx Quote
55 Fargo Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Posted June 21, 2014 Trans shift tower, unthreads, without taking toploader out. The spring and retainer cup are under there. It felt like the shifter would lift right out, but I did not pull it out. Does this help in anyway to ID this sucker... Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 Not sure but I think it's a Warner trans. Not sure of the model. I looked through all my books. and found DT used 4 speed Warner transmissions after 1953. Canadian trucks for sure. Bob Quote
55 Fargo Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Posted June 21, 2014 Have to figure what the fix is, or find another top loader...thanx Bob Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 IT's time to take your old top cover off-figure out whats wrong and fix it. Most everything is fixable. Could be something simple Fred! Quote

Could be something simple Fred! True enough Bob, been in there before, all was pretty good, new gear lube then too. The guy that broke this, must have reefed on this shifter, what a pi$$ off... Quote
Solution 55 Fargo Posted June 21, 2014 Author Solution Report Posted June 21, 2014 UPDATE; REPAIR Completed Hey you Guys, had to go to a Furd truck forum,( shame shame) to get the inside scoop on the shifter repair for this trans. The trans is a Warner T 98 or T18 or some derivative of either. The repair procedure is this, unthread shifter top loader tower cap, pull out shifter, replace special 1/4 inch that goes through a hole in the threaded shifter tower, and holds stick in place. I was able to salvage some of the roll pin, then added some 1/4 inch rod to hold it in tight, this will have to be replaced with a correct itme soon. The shifter is nice and tight, and has less play then ever before. the best part it is an easy repair compared to the New Process SM 420 or 435 trans, where the top loader must come off to repair. The pics... Quote
