Re: [AMC-list] 195.6 64 Classic w/5 speed

You called Andrew lol

The car has a driveshaft and Ford diff now although the guy who did the
conversion said he could have made the TT work

I could have run it behind the 195.6 but with less torque than the 232 it
would need to be geared right

I originally had it setup for 1800rpms for 60mph

" Well, I got pics from the guy with the car. Unfortunately I can't tell "
what kind of trans it is. Car is too low. All I can see is a ribbed "
aluminum case, can't even tell if an adapter is used. It looks more like " a
Toyota small truck five speed (R-154?) than a T-5. The gear shift " comes up
right under the front edge of the bench seat. The shifter lever " is "u"
shaped to curve forward, up, and back a bit around the front of " the seat.

aisin warners have ribbed cases, but so do many other trannies.

the r150 family was and is used in a wide variety of cars and trucks; the
r154 is a c/r version used in turbo supras about '90 or so.  the jeep ax15
and trailblazer ar5 are also versions.

it could as easily be a smaller g50/w50 family box, given the 196's power.
jeep's ax5 is another version.

btw recently learned aisin is co-owned by toyota and seiko.

" Well, we at least know a five speed can be fitted to a 196 now.... 

stu fitchett did an r150 to 232 in a car like this many years ago, and the
early 232 bellhousing pattern is the same as the 196.

i'm wondering if he kept the enclosed driveline!
