[ihc] Re: BW trannies

[Colin M Rush <salmineo@xxxxxxxx>]

I believe the TC shop that charged so much for the IHC TC was indeed
working on the bolt-together unit.  Without looking at them, I would
venture a guess that they might very well be interchangeable.  If not, I
suspect it would only be because the oil pump drives are different, but a
person could have the pump drive replaced at the TC shop with the drive
to fit your oil pump.  From what I have seen of the BW and FMX, I suspect
the oil pump gears could be interchanged too (instead of having the oil
pump drive modified), but again, a person would have to play with it to
see.  I have it on the 'someday' list to look into some of these things,
but I am so strung out with work for some folks in my AMC club, fixing my
car and my Jeep, and getting my '69 PU home that it probably will not be
this year.

I have the CTS-2300, and it covers the BW trannies.  If you work with a
shop that has ever worked on the old Ford Cruise-O, or the FMX, then
yours should be a piece of cake for them.  However, I understand that the
IHC convertor is a special beast, and can cost several hundred dollars to
rebuild, compared to more like $50 for the BW/Ford convertors that were
used in the cars.  Of course, it all depends on what model you have.

Colin, sounds like the TQ you're referring to is the earlier bolt
together
version. IH did at some point go to the unitized(welded) version AFAIK.
Do
you know of any reason the unitized couldn't be retro'd in place of the
earlier style? FWIW the later welded unit is an R12 in aftermarket TQ
parlance.
 
Thanks,
 
Jim
