I have this Ford trans That I got a few years back Iwas wondering if someone here could Identify it for me or tell me if It would fit in a 70 Mustang. OK This is what is on a tag on the right side of trans RAI BS 017780 This is on fork side CSAR 7006 followed by a large "C" This is on the tail RF-CTR TAO-40-B W 2N Theres a sheet metal cover on top. The forks are on the side. The tailshaft is short with the "U" bolts mounted in a casting on the tailshaft. This trans was on a 302 motor in a truck. I hope you guys dont mind me busting in here asking all these questions, but I didnt know where else to get advice Thanks in advance for any help you could give. Scott
Scott, It would help a lot if you could give a bit more information. Is it a three or four speed? Internal or external shifter? Do you have any pictures? Paul
Just an old 3.03 3 speed trans. My '71 F250 has the same trans. It will not work in your Mustang because it has a fixed yoke tail shaft.
The tailshaft is supported by a ball bearing that needs the bolt on yoke to locate it. You could have a driveline made for it - two piece. If you replace the output shaft and extension housing you could use a slip yoke in it. These trannys are cheap and fairly easy to find - just about every three speed Ford put out had one in it - so it would be cheaper to just find one for a car and sell the one that you have.
