| Thanks Greg. Shimming is a high likelyhood whichever route I end up going. Does the input shaft seal go in from the inside or outside of the case? Hack

| Hi Hacksaw,
I don't think the internal ratios were different and the two transmissions should be directly interchangeable. The external linkage was slightly different, but you can swap that out tit-for-tat. The clutch input hubs were different on the earlist of v700 models (different internal tooth depth pattern). You can use a later hub on a earlier transmission, but not vice-versa. So, you should be okay there, too. I can't think of any other differences, so - if functional - I'd put a new set of seals in it and have a go with it. Actually, I'd shim the shift drum, too...but that's not required. Just my over-eager fix-everything-to-make-it-better mentality showing through :>

| Greg, Would the unit Tom has if functionally okay be a usable unit for my Ambassarado? Are the internal ratios different? Thanks, Hack Greg Bender wrote:
| Hi Tom,
The early v700 and the Ambassador 4 speeds were different internally...Actually, the 4 speed went through at least 3 iterations of
straight and helically cut gear combinations. You can probably swap innards for innards, but just something to keep in mind.

| Hacksaw, Where in Nebraska are you located? The tranny I have is off a
'67 V700. I have owned the "project" for about thirteen years. I got it as a project, and never did anything with it. If it would make sense, I could meet you half way with this tranny. My phone #'s are 316-773-6699 home, or 316-304-4477 cell. Or email me off list at jtomel-@netscape.com if interested. |
