Hi, I am changing the throwout brg on my 40 Merc twodor,I was looking on the trans for #s. I found a number --- 6D 7189---- stamped into the top flange of the trans housing,just above the inspection port. I tried looking up this number, on the "Ford Flathead Engine" site,but the numbers listed there do not come close. Can anyone shed some light on the number and were do I look for future referance. Thxs Oldguy

The correct clutch release bearing for your car is 78-7580, available from C&G (800/266-0470) for about thirty bucks. It is a good idea to replace the pilot bearing, B-7600, and the clutch disc, CD-870 (10") while you have it apart, and to clean the flywheel and pressure plate surface with a Scptchbrite pad. An excellent source of parts and info for your car is in the C&G catalog. Ask for a copy with your order.

Normally there would have been a prefix like 99 or 09 with the rest of the serial number after that. In your case I suspect the vehicle (or at very least the gearbox itself) is a Canadian model. They used that type of numbering system. I do not have the breakdowns on the Canadian numbers, so I cannot advise you if your number fits that suggestion.

Very interesting, as I have a letter from the original owner saying it was originally purchased in the US. Maybe the trans was changed at some time. The motor is a 48 to 53 truck motor with an 11" clutch. Will look closer at the number. Thxs for the info
