5-speed DIRECT DRIVE Clark tranny, 1953, FOR SALE

[Deleted User]

Hello gang:



This is a 5-speed 1953 HEAVY duty transmission with Power Take-off (PTO), from the South TX area, not far from San Antonio; currently in Memphis, TN 38138.



I have what appears to be a Direct Drive Clark transmission, because:



1) cast into the side of the trans housing is "C-90101"



2) the 5th/DD gear in this tranny is achieved when it is shifted to the 'rear', according to the knob's shift pattern, plus one of the guys I talked to told me the same thing; i.e., a Direct Drive trans.



An "Over Drive" (OD) trans is in 5th/OD when shifted to the 'front', based upon my research and counsel.



On the flip side, the shifter top plate is marked "C-90102"; probably insignificant and interchangeable info.

The info in the above chart needs verification; not guaranteeing it's accuracy, but it should be close.

I have the bellhousing, flywheel, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, clutch arm, emergency brake assy, shifter/top plate assy, etc; this was removed from 1953 Ford F6, with a 6 cylinder flathead engine ("M" 254 cu in). All of said parts go with trans if sold.



Condition, UNKNOWN; turns ok. Looks OK, but needs complete disassembly, pressure-washed and checked for any wear, painted and resealed/reassembled. I have pulled the top off and drained the grease out. Can send photos via e-mail. I suggest that it be disassembled and checked at CNS transmission; honest folks; I can deliver it to them for you; 65 miles from my home.



Sold as is (best offer, next couple months), before or after examination and rebuilt; if Chris rebuilds it he possibly offers a GUARANTEE. If you buy as is, I'll pack everything onto a pallet and deliver to a local shipper for shipping; you make pre-paid arrangements to ship. Will ship overseas too.



It needs to be moved/gone in the next couple months, one way or the other!! I prefer someone to put it to good use, hauling those heavy loads. Maybe you have this type tranny already and might need it for parts in the future; better prepared than sorry!



I hate the thought of selling it for the scrap weight when it could be used in a show vehicle or put to work. Let me know your thoughts; thanks
