I am considering removing my transmission and tasking it to VanPelt for restoration. I assume that the transmission is an original but not sure. Talking with to VanPelt I was told that it may be possible to pull the transmission without removing the engine up through the floorboard. I am asking if anyone can confirm that the tranny can be removed up through the floorboard and also is there a source for information on the recommended procedure. Thanks. Bill Brown '34 Cabriolet

The transmission can be removed by removing the rear end first. Then the trans will lift up through the floor. I like to remove the seat also, it keeps the grease from staining the seat cover. Tom

I had to jack up the motor a bit to allow the transmission to clear. Hope this helps.

#1. Remove the front seat bottom & floor mat and floor boards. #2. Take the shift lever tower off the transmission #3. Jack the rear end up, support with jack stands on the frame rails, in front of the rear wheels. #4. Jack up the differential and remove the rear wheels. #5. Remove the 4 nuts on the U-Bolts holding the spring to the rear cross member. #6 Loosen & remove all the bolts all holding the transmission to the bell housing. #7 Take all the bolts out holding the Torque tube to the back of the transmission #8 Disconnect the rear brake rods from the pedal assembly, plus the had brake cable. #9 Here is where you need help, Put a strap under the front of the torque tube for your helper to hold, while you do #10 & 11. #10 Then lower the whole rear end. (If the car is not high enough off the floor to clear the spring, take the jack out and roll it on the brake drums. #11 Roll the entire differential & torque tube back separating them from the transmission. #11. Now slide the transmission back off the crank shaft and lift out of the hole in your cars floor. As previously mentioned you may have to jack up the rear of the engine. 1934 Ford's since 1972 This message was edited by 1934 Ford on 11-7-17 @ 7:43 AM

It seems like you left out the step that tells you to remove the nuts from the u-bolts that hold the rear spring in place. Also, you may have to jack up the rear of the transmission in order to remove the lower U-Joint bolts. Tom

Thanks Tom O. , I corrected my omission. It took almost as long or write about it as it does to do it. 1934 Ford's since 1972

1934 Ford, That is very true if you use the "Biblical" method of typing, like I do. Tom
