WTB gasket set for HD 3-speed
Shopping for a complete gasket kit for the HD 3-speed manual transmission (yes, the Ford Toploader). Or a source where I can get one. Thanks folks!

toploader parts
Well....I had zero luck w/Ford Toploader specialists. Some just made a joke of it. I bought some O-rings @NAPA and went through the transmission myself. It is re-installed now and I don't expect any surprises when I fire it up again. Some members here offered suggestions and that was great (as usual on this forum!).
Thank You MaxPerformance ! |

I only just now saw this post;
The "HD three speed" changed from model year to model year, and with platform. I am sure that (Ferd) top loader three speed gaskets are out there; You might have to really start digging into part numbers from different manufacturers, and find corresponding RPO codes...

gaskets
I made the one gasket I needed w/a ballpein hammer and some gasket material. Not a big deal, really. Mostly hoping that the generic O-rings I sourced for the shift levers will seal well and hold up over time. Anyway, trans is re-installed, would like to sell the fancy Ram Rod shifter though. I am re-using the ITM shifter that I made work, and it is just fine. I was surprised to read in your post that The "HD three speed" changed from model year to model year, and with platform. I have tried without success to determine what was the original application for the transmission that I have. Also surprised that the full-time Ford Toploader guys were no help at all !
