Re: [Amc-list] t86f/r10

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

I just looked at it and noticed two things:

1 - I think that's a T-96 -- four bolts on top cover (as Tom pointed out, I didn't even look for that and took a second look after reading his comment). I'd ask the seller to double check the numbers cast into the case -- the T-86 should have six bolts on top and have a brace between the shifter shaft bosses. The 65 & 66 TSMs do list the T-86 as the trans for 232 engines, the 199 used the T-96. Could have been changed at some point, or the seller pulled it from a car with 199 and assumed it was a 232. If the stickers are gone you can't tell the difference. 

2 - It's got the "tall" bolt pattern instead of the "short" one used before 63 (in all but the American -- 64 on it). You could make a 1/4" steel adapter, but no point if it's a T-96.

ok, saw this on epay, can anyone tell me if THIS
trans/od will bolt in to my 62 classic 196 with t96? i
still have the t89 that has to long of an input shaft,
and the bell housing bolt holes are different. but
will the t86 work with my bell? it should work with
the t-tube i think. but what about the front side??
seller is not TO far from me.
