I own a toploader 4 speed that is out a 1968 ford. I would like to know if ther is any manuals or rebuild books available for the transmission. My email adress is rpullar@northwinds.net

We sell a book called Setting Standards. It sells for $14.95 and has picture by picture assembly of a Toploader. Reverse the pictures for disaasembly. The book also contains various tidbits on ratios, and rebuilding tips for all standard transmissions.

I have a short tailshaft ford toploader installed into an 82 mustang gt behind a 351c. Also have a hurst competition plus shifter, the type with an S curv in it to come up thru my existing console. My question is what linkage kit do I need to order for this application. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

For TX17876 Please let us know where the current shifter bolt holes are on the toploader. Short tail toploaders had 3 bolt patterns. The first is up front near where the tailhousing bolts to the main case. The second is in the middle and third in front of the rear seal.

I would like to purchase one of your books "Setting Standards". We do a lot of manual transmissions at our shop and we do run into a lot of trouble.One of the most popular units now is the M5R2. Another is the GMC Getrag 5 speed.
Do you have much on these transmissions and do you have after market parts available?

PS Will you folks be at the ATRA convention this year? If so, please give me your booth number when available.

To Paul Mathewson: The only information on rebuilding the Getrag GMC 5 speeds and M5R2 are factory shop manuals. You will also need the tool kits to do these units correctly. We won't be attending the ATRA convention. The setting standards book covers Muncie,T-10 and Toploader 4 speeds, the doug nash overdrive and some new T5 tips.

Any you guys know about bellhousing adaptor for Flathead V8 to fit with TopLoader?????? Give me any your advise and where I could buy?? Thank you.

This question might be coming from far off, but I have a '65 Ford Falcon Futura which has a dying 3 speed on the tree and a Blue 200 six. I plan on upgrading to a 4 or 5 speed but I'm not sure where to get imformation about compatibility. I know the old Mustang 4 floor shift will work but I'd like to know all my options and how involved each could be. Thanx.

would like to buy 91Tauras 5spd SHO good core or cut out cb customer not happy Thanks steve

Anyone know the gear ratios for a 73 Mustang 4 speed top loader? I think the first gear is either 2.73 or 2.78. I need to know the ratios for 2nd and 3rd.

I'm looking for a bellhousing to mate a toploader to a windsor V8 in a Fox chassis (cable actuated, not hydraulic) same one they use for a Tremec I believe. also looking for a toploader manual. please email me as I don't have net access all the time. thanks, Forrest.

I HAVE A TOPLOADER 4/SPD. OUT OF A 1968 MUSTANG WITH 38,000 MILES. IT IS AS NEW CONDITION, IN AND OUT. I WOULD LIKE TO SELL OR TRADE IT.

I'm trying to convert a 1996 S-10 T-5(WC) to fit into a 1984 CJ-7 (258 I6 with a dana 300 transfer case) any help or ideas would be appreciated.

I am looking to buy a toploader 4spd. to bolt up to a built 351C. Is there any way to tell by the part/casting numbers if the transmission is a wide or close ratio. This set up is going into '56 Ford F100 any recommendations on a shifter and linkage?

Hi, my name is Chad I have a big block top loader
and I need parts.??? I'm new to this so I'd appreciate
some help with a location or a business name.
Thanks.

Ed Burns, generally a close ratio box has a 31 spline
output shaft, but this is NOT the rule. There are tags
on each box which denotes the type of box.
Go to http:/camalott.com/~brannon/topcode.html
This guy has most of the codes, the cars, engines and
years they relate too.
Lots of your questions will be answered there.

I would like a close ratio cluster and gear set, preferably secondhand. I will be shipping the parts to Australia, so I don't want a complete box (costs to much to ship)
If anybody can assist me, please e-mail me at hornet@projectx.com.au Thanks

I need a tail housing for a '72 Mustang small block toploader. I ruined mine when the rear bushing came loose and allowed the yoke to rub. I'm assuming it's a short tailshaft, but I'm not certain of that. If anyone can help, please e-mail me at millermm@lejeune.usmc.mil Thanks

i have a 65 falcon futura 289 w/ a toploader out of a 68 or 69 ford 428 looking for a tailshaft housing so speedometer turns in correct direction currently cable enters on passenger side any help would be appreciated

The '65 Mustang GT I own has a borg warner t - 10 that is generating "chicklets" into the lube oil.I would like to replace the tranny with a toploader(stronger, doesn't jump out of gear I've heard), but what about replacing the present t-10 with a modern aluminum housing t-10? Were any of these newer tranny's made for the 289? Do I have any way of getting significantly different "steps" between the gears and maybe a numerically higher 1st gear? I'd like to do it right the first time. Thanks for any info.

I have a Toploader, Bellhousing, Shifter, clutch fork, and yoke that I would like to sell. The transmission is a HEH-CL S/N 0168494 from a 66 Fairlane 390 GT. The shifter is a stock ford that has been rebuilt with all new bushings and a new reverse lock-out "T". The bellhousing is a small block ford that was behind a 289. All is in excellent shape.
