I have an ecz-6015-c block and have been told it is a mercury (says on valve covers) 1956 312 y block in a 48 f-6. What transmissions were attached to these that had a pto? Is currently running in truck! Thanks!!!

Any F6 would have had a trans with PTO. Is it snycro' or not?

Its not syncro as far as i know its a little picky about when it goes in a gear!

It won't take long to learn how to shift it. If you aren't familiar with the crash boxes already. Brings to mind terms like "double clutch". Take your time shifting and let the engine speed drop a bit as you do. Those old trannys lasted a long time with a lot of abuse so they will usually take a few grinds. Chuck

What was said about double clutching is the answer. The time it takes you to double clutch the rpm's will drop to a point where it should plop into gear without any (or much) crunching.

Always worked in my 55 F-350 and 37 Ford flathead cabriolet.

Oh yeah, and remember to double clutch when down shifting.

Been a long time but I can remember driving some of my dads trucks back in the 50's. Two shifters, two speed rear axle and no syncros. He taught me how it was done! Chuck

The Warner Gear T-98 in my '53 truck is syncro in 2nd,3rd,and 4th, and has the blank cover where a PTO would go.  The trans I currently have came from an early '60s truck, bolted right up to the Y truck bellhousing.

so were the old "crash" boxes 3 speed or 4?
By Hoosier Hurricane - 13 Years Ago
If they had PTOs, they were 4 (or more) speed.  3 speeds didn't have PTO.

does any one know the gear ratio's in the 4 speed non-syncro?
