3 Speed Trany Identification

[vince76]

I need help. Can anyone help me identifity this ******? It was behind a 292 in a 59 Galaxie. The original ****** for the car was an automatic.
Any Help would be appreciated.

That looks simular to these. I also have the empty cases for the transmissions. Those are not OD's on the back, just tail shaft housings. If you figure out which years these are for let me know. Thanks Rod

They look like your run of the mill 3 speeds from about '55 or '56 to '62 when they came out with the fully synchronized trannys.
The best part about these trannys is that they have a larger countershaft than the earlier '49 to '53 or '54 trannys.
Pardon my being a bit vague as I'm not exactly sure when they changed the size of the countershaft. I have a '56 like this to which I mounted a '53 O.D. unit.
There are certain modifications that have to be made to the case in order to do that, however.
I just noticed the fine spline input shaft which dates this one to '58 thru '62.
