4 speed transmission in a 1966 shelby

[zray]

for what it's worth, 1122 has the iron trans case/tail and the good gears. original except the shift forks. phred

Interesting, 1114 has an aluminum case T-10 with a cast iron tailshaft.  It sounds like the tailshaft was probably switched out based on Jim & Randy's comments above.  Thanks to Joe Bolus, it has been reunited with the car.

6s1117 also had an iron tailshaft with the aluminum main case.  I know ALL the owners, and that car came that way from el Paso Ford, and presumably from SA as well.  It could've been been switched at the dealership before the car was sold to the 1st owner, I suppose, but not as far as the 1st owner knows. There was no warranty work done on the transmission after delivery, that much is known.

There have been many cases where dealers and their sales people were very hard on these cars. Blown engines,  clutches , transmissions  The tails and side covers were very fragile  compared to iron versions.  Ive had customers that broke out side covers and tail shafts just by power shifting.  Try to find a 4 speed Hertz 66 that #1  has the original transmission #2  has one that hasn't been welded . We've probably been involved in the restoration of  close to 100  of these all aluminum transmissions and Im guessing Ive weld repaired over 30%.  Its always a treat to get one that the alloy case and tail or in good shape.  The one trans that was a head scratcher was the one that was in 6S001.  The case and tail were near perfect castings  but the inside was just trashed.  we had to replace virtually all the parts in side.
