All, Trying to ID the type of three speed in my 63 vert. T89b-1d is on the right side of the gear box. Please let me know if this will help ayone id the type of transmission. If more information is need please let me know where to look. Thanks in advance. John
I think so! I have been searching the internet after I posted to here, and it looks like a Borg Warner T-89. Most records show it being installed in 57 to 71 trucks. That might explain why I can not find the flywheel and pressure plate in any parts catalogs. I'm still confused! Johno No:
I'm pretty convinced it's a Borg Warner T89. It's basically a three speed version of the T10. It's a pretty stout trans, even though it's a three speed. Check out this link. It has a little more info about the T89; http://www.jeepnotes.com/Default.as...-specifications&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1. Your probably having such a hard time finding parts because it's such a rare option. Not many manual transmissions made it into the fullsize cars, let alone the three speed. I'd hold on to that car, it's definitely one of a kind.
The Flywheel is unique to the 63- 65 Fullsize Nailheads. It is xtra heavy. I'm sending mine to Fort Wayne Clutch to be resurfaced, along with the clutch pressure plate and disc. They will fix the original stuff. Ted Hey Look, 2500 posts!!!!
