Eric Ekerman on the forwardlook mopar classifieds on facebook has one from a '56 Dodge for sale. It looks like he is in Wisconsin.

1. I know nussink (Sgt. Schultz, Hogan's Heros)

2. From what I can "see" (but don't understand), there was no non-overdrive manual for the 55-56 Dodges. The 55-56 Plymouths apparently had both O/D and non-O/D.

Thanks. I saw that, not sure if it's the same.

Thanks, that's very useful! Odd that the OD trans for the Plymouth has a different p/n from the one in the Dodge and DeSoto. Different ratios, maybe?

I sourced one from a JY in Connecticut. '56 Plymouth, non OD, same as mine. Crossing fingers it is good and has better synchro!!! Otherwise, it's overhaul time. I would love to have the OD, but I'm WAY too lazy to find all the stuff I'd need and convert it over!!!

That is AWESOME, thanks!! I spent days googling trying to find something like that and came up empty-handed. I have a 56 service manual which pretty much covers that, but not in such illustrative detal.

Does anyone know what these transmissions are actually CALLED (i. e. manuf., model #, etc.) I know the 2-speed auto is a Chrysler-built Power Flite, but I mean the manuals. Borg Warner? Something else? Anyone know?

Thanks!
