Looks like it has the pcv system.


Butchering up everything I can get my hands on in Dayton Ohio

I did some additional cleaning on the tranny and found the ID plate on the lower driver's side of the case; PAW-7003-D.

Not so sure if that ring gear is on the convertor or the convertor is sitting on top of a flex plate.  I thought all convertor ring gears were part of the convertor like the air cooled were ??

tranny looks like a 56, it has a cast iron bell and the ring gear is on the converter. I believe 60 merc would have a flex plate and the converter would bolt to it with 4 bolts!

1957 merc had a pushbutten shifter,the cable went in on driver side and the pan had to be off to remove the cable . owned a 57 mere and repaired the trans so know that they had different case than 56 mere

The bell housing has the casting PAR-7975-A but doesn't look like anything I have seen on line. The transmission has no tag that I can find, but has the casting # PAW-7006-A.
I think it is a Merc-o-Matic, but maybe it's a Lincoln tranny. 1960 seems to have been a transition year. Any help would be appreciated.

Until the TRANS ASSY is positively identified, original use will not be known. The two ID NOS you posted above are for a convertor housing and a main case.

The older post I showed had the same ID NOS (they will be fairly common) but the poster found the ASSY PN most likely by using info from the ID TAG found on the main case.

Rono:
Here is a link to identify that transmission. It is from a 56/57 Mercury. It is a medium case transmission Mercomatic
That transmission you found has some valuable parts for y-block owners who want to do a FMX hybrid as you can use the torque converter, bell housing, front pump

Thanks Darrell and Kultulz! I signed up with that transmission forum and posted a couple of pictures with the P/N's. Looks like the tranny may be a Merc-o-matic after all. I think the shaft may be the fine splined. I'll confirm tomorrow.

that is a y block bell just went out to look at one.its hard to see the imput shaft but it looks fine spline which would be mercury.if it has 29 teeth its a merc ford had 17.

I have been searching the internet to try and I.D. the tranny, but can't seem to nail it down. The bell housing has the casting PAR-7975-A but doesn't look like anything I have seen on line. The transmission has no tag that I can find, but has the casting # PAW-7006-A.
