Saw this on eBay.  This is not my listing.

Comments:
- helical trans main shaft makes it a T-85 not a T-89...
- don't be mislead by the T-89 casting number on the 9 bolt curved side cover, trans is a T-85...
- T85C-1A casting number on trans case makes it a T-85 for sure...
- 10 spline clutch input shaft makes this '57 and earlier application, I think... Ford went to 23 spline in (?) '58 (?) and up
- 16 spline output shaft... the yoke for this is tough to come by, out of production LONG time...  '55, '56, '57 Mercury standard AND MercoMatic trans applications use this yoke!
- later (?) '58 up (?) T-85s use a 31 spline output shaft...
- this trans has both the solenoid and the governor... are they 6 volt or 12 volt??? '55 Merc T-85 ODs were 6 volt...
- CA eBay listing... shipping of these trans is not cheap... weight is ~150 lbs.
- seller comments on reverse gear wear... several new replacement reverse gears for the T-85 are regularly listed on eBay

Hope this helps.   Smile

Thanks for posting that. I found one but it is out of a 62 so that means my new clutch won't work as it is a 10 spline. So if I read that right I need to get a different clutch disc.

Me thinks so...BUT... I've given up swearing to anything.

I saw one later T-85 (based upon the 31 spline output shaft) that had a 10 spline input shaft.  I suspect that the input shafts can be interchanged and may have have been swapped in  a rebuild...  Don't know for sure.

Trying to help, but not an expert on the subject...

Best Wishes.   Smile
