An important step is to get the block clean. If you lightly heat the block with a Map torch and clean with acetone you can help adhesion. The block will still have oil in the pores after the machine shop cleaning.

Thank you, I had a 1947 that I measured and it was inset. So that is not the issue.

I noticed that my driveshaft is almost flush with the end of my torque tube, it is not inset by 1/4 as normal. I have an original late 32 torque tube and shortened a 34 driveshaft to fit, but must have made a slight error. Could this cause transmission issues? I am also wondering if the ball...

Mine was the wrong part. The new pressure plate turned out to be a Chevy unit- close, but close don’t work.

I have it all apart again. Called Fort Wayne clutch and the pressure plate is a Chevy plate not the Mercury that I thought it was. This caused all the clutch travel issues. I am wondering if the clutch being set wrong is as causing the transmission not to stay in third? This transmission is...

I was able to test drive it a little. Would the clutch not being set up also cause it to pop out of third gear on deceleration? Transmission is rebuilt with all NOS parts.

9” disk, it is a Chevy flywheel to 283

In my 32 I am using a 1949 Mercury pressure plate. I just swapped out the 1939 transmission for a fresh 1932 transmission. Both transmissions had the same 1932 clutch arm. I replaced the original 49 Mercury pressure plate with a new one that was supposed to have come from Fort Wayne clutch...

The repos don’t have any numbers

The failed one came from where you are looking to buy a new one

I would fix the thread before buying a new one. If you do buy a new one report back if it works for more than 60 miles.

I paid $85 for the aftermarket drive. I am only buying a Ford one next time.

I have 3.54 gears with 7.50x16 tires. I am going to try to stick with a complete and original turtle.

Everything looks really good besides the turtle. I installed a 19 tooth original that a friend gave me. Will see how it does. If anyone has an original 17 or 18 tooth please let me know. Thanks

This is a reproduction unit with no numbers. It came as is, ready to run. So it likely a faulty part and not something in the driveshaft set up?

This one was a steel gear. Came as a full unit.

Has anyone else had a new speedometer drive wear out right away? This is a 18 tooth drive, I bought it as a complete unit from a reputable supplier. Car is a new build, late 1932 torque tube. Is there something wrong in my setup or is this a repo parts problem. It worked very well at first...

Thank you!

Hi, I am just confirming that nothing is bent. In a 1932 V8 car how far does the accelerator sit from the floor in the at rest state? Another way of looking at this is how much travel does the pedal have before it touches the wood floor board. Thank you

Thank you David!
