This is from Mac Van Pelt's web site. There are a bunch of exploded and cross section views of transmissions and what not. There's nothing specifically '32 and nothing specifically Model B, but except for details, everything from '32 to '48 are pretty much the same inside.

Most readily accessible one for you to use is the 1936 one shown in the basic '28-48 parts catalog. This trans has many detail differences from '32, especially in using all spiral cut gears, but I believe none of them affect the exploded view.
Actual '32-35 stuff (again, two generations with detail differences but identical appearance and assembly explosion) can be found in the rarer ealier catalogs.
Note that there is NO mechanical difference between B and 18 1932 trans innards, important because all of the manuals focus on the V8. The case/bellhousing casting is different to fit the B engine, but ALL gears, bearings, shifter parts, etc. are the same.
You REALLY need to buy the repro 1932 service bulletins and the '32-36 shop manual, which is a reprint of an early NAPA manual, as basic guides to '32 mechanicals. Nothing online is a real substitute, and this stuff is cheap from all the suppliers.
You also need the 1932 parts book and any later parts book to help you sort out interchange. Your gears are identical with all '32-4, but many small parts fit all the way up to '48, and if your parts are junk you can update the entire insides to any of the several later gear sets.
