T-86 with overdrive, includes governor, and solenoid $400 cash. Works but needs gaskets. Shifts good.

Hi Richard,



I have been schooled to believe (by this Forum) that the Borg Warner T-86 transmission has a sheet metal top-mounted-cover which provides access for installing and removing gears, etc. Too, the shift levers come through the side of the transmission case casting and are not part of a removable cover on a T-86



I'm not sure what you've got from your picture. I wish I could be more help. Unsure

This came out of my 54 Ford Ranch Wagon. The Overdrive is an R10. This will fit 54-57 Ford. I believe it to be a light duty 3 spd with overdrive. I may have erred the T86 nomenclature

The Transmission numbers on the are:

To use it in a '57 the driveshaft yoke will have to be changed.  Ford went to a fine spline in '57.  The '56 and earlier yoke will require a hybrid U joint  to make the connection.

A C6 front yolk works on a T-85 . Like John said, have to have a combination U-Joint....

This is a light duty trans.  A C6 yoke won't fit.

John, I've got one in my car.....

And it ain't a light duty... It's a T-89. I made one good one out of 2 that I got at Moultrie swap meet...It has a 31 spline tail shaft & I got a new C-6 yolk & it slides right on. Perfect....

T86, straight bottom side cover is the light duty trans. T85, curved bottom side cover it the heavy duty one. Came out in the 312 cars in 1956 and as I recall was available in the '62-'63 406 Galaxies.
