How do you find out what year R10 you have.

[Mark D]

The date should be stamped into the engine side of the gear housing.

Date stamp should be on the circled surface, with that input shaft it came out of a fluid drive car

Thank you. It is out of a 49 dodge coronet. When the od was put in the fluid drive was removed. Is that common.

Looks like your transmission input shaft is for non-fluid drive car. Thus I suppose the one who did the assembly decided to solve the issue by ditching the fluid drive.

I installed the R10 last winter (year ago), but I decided to swap the input shaft from my original 3-speed to the OD transmission. That way I get to keep the fliud drive and no need to modify drive shaft lenght either.

I am happy with combo fluid drive+R10 OD.

 Your transmission looks like it came out of a 53-54  Dodge, Desoto or Chrysler maybe with a Hemi  and a fluid drive. Or it was a Plymouth

and someone changed the front shaft/collar.  So you could have that rebuilt for your 49 Dodge and use it, or change your Dodge to a 3speed standard with over drive etc.

 

So as I said in my email  George Asche's  has been rebuilding and playing with these for something like 60 years.

Give him a call.. 814-354-2621 and he will confirm what I am guessing or tell you exactly what it is.  If you want it rebuilt he can definitely do that, and if you want to sell it as is, we would definitely be interested.
