Re: [AMC-list] T-96 in Fairlane 289?? (T-86!!)

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As someone else said, there was another 3 speed side loader that it could have been. It was the same length as the O/D trans I put in (I think it was a T15 or T150? Tried to find my old notes and emails but they were nuked when I switched from Webtv to a real computer) I recall it was non-synchro first (wife wouldn't drive it till I put the synchro first 4 with O/D in. She kept forgetting the ebrake handle under the dash was reverse gear) The trans came with a thin spacer to bolt it to the Ford bellhousing.

The T-96 is TINY Jim!! I think you're confusing it with a T-86 or T-85. A 289 would rip a T-96 up in a matter of days (if not hours)!! I used one behind a stock 4.0L for a while -- got maybe 500 miles before the synchronizer was ate up -- and it was a fresh rebuilt trans.

I believe I had a T-96 in my '66 Fairlane (3 speed with 289) I swapped it out for a 4 speed side loader (the one with 4th gear as O/D in place of 3rd gear) and I got an adapter to go between that bell and a T5 Mustang trans from Dark Horse Performance in Renton, WA about 10 years ago.
