keithb7 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hi kind folks. I acquired the following transmission in a group of old Mopar parts I purchased. Main housing is marked with casting 1408517-9. Rear housing marked with casting 138238-1. Front mounting flange of tranny has the following stamped on a flat surface. Looks like punch was used. Reads “5 6 53 KE”. I have reason to believe it may have come out of a 1953 Plymouth Belvedere. Does that seem likely? Manual tranny. 3 speed I assume? Additionally what other years and models of Mopar‘s might this bolt into with few complications. I was thinking of keeping it as a spare for my 1938 Plymouth. It has a ‘54 engine with original 3 speed manual already in it. If it is unlikely to fit in my ‘38 May move it on to another owner in need. Thought I’d ask here before donning coveralls and getting under my ‘38. Today my garage is tore up for new shelving and organization. Need more efficient use of space! Thx. Keith.

keithb7 Posted November 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Does mine here appear to set up for column shift? Does my input shaft appear fairly long? Possibly for a fluid drive? Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
