Hi Ted here. Just wondering. I'm looking at a 40 8cyl 4dr parts car. Would SERIAL number 1450217 be a 40 or 41. . I think it is a 40. Just want to make sure. There is no model number on stage. Cleansweep@xplornet.ca 5196543144. Thanks
That would be a 1941 Commodore Eight.
I know what a 40 overdrive looks like. This car is overdrive pictures r not great . What does a 41 overdrive look like . I no what an r10 looks like. This car on Craig's list aurora Colorado for 2000. Pictures r from bottom and r similar to 40 transmission. Any send me a picture of 41 overdrive thanks. Cleansweep@xplornet.ca
Can't decipher the second photo.
The 1941 OD trans would would similar to those of the later 40's I think, but you'd better get confirmation on that.
Of course, it has the levers on the side, unlike the '40.
Thanks will look into it
the 40 OD has no solenoid.
It is basically a centrifugally operated trans.
Top of trans OD section has two access screw plugs allowing the ability to adjust screws to control centrifugal action, thus Kick in speed can be adjusted.
Earlier chrysler OD's were similar.
The O.D pictured is the Warner model R-9 used by Hudson in 1941-1947.
