While removing my trans from the flathead, it popped off and fell and broke one of the cast mounts on the rear of the case - while looking for a solution to my problem I have seen some cases that have a rear mount plate bolted on the rear of trans that looks similar to the 2 cast tabs that were on my case. My car is a 41 coupe with a 49 8BA flathead and what I think was a 46 mercury 3 spd side shift trans. I keep reading that the 3 spd transmissions are the same from 39 - 48 but I keep seeing cases that have bolt on rear mount plate instead of the mounts cast into the rear of the case? Some clarification would help me to find a trans to fit my 41 or a case that I could put my parts into.

The rear bearing retainer is bolted on to the rear of the transmission and has the cast ears for the rear mounts. If your original is different I suggest you post a photo of it. On top of the transmission just above the inspection cover is the serial number it is stamped into the cast iron case that number should identify the year of the case.

Yesteryear Ford Parts, 517-676-4416, lists the part you need in their 2012-13 catalog (the last one shown on their website). It is listed as Bearing Retainer (mainshaft output) P.N. 21A-7085 for 1942-48 car for $30.00 ea. This message was edited by carcrazy on 5-30-21 @ 11:17 PM

The bearing retainer for the 41 Ford is 99A-7085 but wait until you post a photo of the transmission. If you remove the rear mount and clean it up you should be able to see the part number is embedded in the casting.

After closer inspection and a little cleaning I see the separation line under all the dirt for the bearing retainer and rear mount - that's a relief - thanks for replies.

After removing the bearing retainer I have found that the "unbroken" mount was brazed together at some point in the past, I probably would have replaced it even if I didn't break the other mount. The part number I found on it is 99-A-7085 This message was edited by bill41ford on 5-31-21 @ 8:24 AM
