What transmission did I find

[derbydad276]

So what have I found came from a 59 Plymoth with a flathead

I have a 53 dodge without the fluid drive

but my bellhousing is super long

Are you meaning the tailshaft part of the trans is super long?  You stated "bell housing" which is the part that connects the motor block to the trans.

 

R-10J-1 is new to me for Mopar, all I have seen are R10G-1.  Later type??

I have posted here and a few other places in the past about the  letter used after the r-10 as I wanted to try to make a list of some kind the various brand use of the "R-10??? . I know that different letters were used so the reason for the question.

 

Thanks for the response so now I can add one more to a list. Second entry. ? Maybe 3rd. is a R-10 H which was a later heavy duty used Mostly in trucks and some Hi-Po models of Ford I believe it was.

My question would be, Can you transfer the innards to the 53 transmission case?

Or more likely moving the Overdrive to the 53 transmission.

I have a 52 Overdrive transmission I am thinking of replacing the cluster and the 2nd gear from a 1940.

This lowers 2nd gear for a little speedier take off, which I may need as I have a 3.54 rear end gear.

 

I know a lot folks with 1949-54 Plymouths will pass up 1955 and later Overdrives because the linkage is different or the input shaft is wrong.

If I can put a 1940 2nd gear in a 52 why not mix and match other parts?

I thought it was the 57 and later ones that changed?

Honestly I don't know, that's kind of why I was asking.

I've kept my Plymouth parts hoard to strictly 49-54, so I don't know if stuff fits from later years.

I don't know why it wouldn't.

I recently removed a R10J from a '58 Plymouth 6.   The bell housing will also fit the eights.  

Since it was no use to me in the earlier models I resold it.

 I can confirm the identity of the one pictured above. as being typical of 57,8. &9.
