tanda62 Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 The shop manual calls them a Power-Shift Automatic Transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64studeavanti Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 IIRC, it is a Borg Warner type 10. Very similar to Ford O Matic and auto trans used in AMC cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model 10 is the larger Lincoln unit. Edited October 7, 2022 by mfg Added Lincoln info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64studeavanti Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Could be. I was looking at a picture of the tag which says AS2-10. In any case, it is the "small ford" case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your trans is known as a Borg Warner model 8 to folks in the transmission rebuilding business. Trick is to find the right shop that has the expertise to work on it PS....some of your transmissions internal parts are special heavy duty..You need to be careful the shop you choose to do the rebuild doesn't use 'standard' Ford passenger car internal parts...They will fit, but won't perform the same.

1963 UFO Posted October 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Thanks so much. Big help. Now the search for someone who rebuilds in Florida. 👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight FitzSimons Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Perhaps someone at Stephen Allen's will know of a trans rebulder familiar with the B-W trans --Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
