I am rebuilding the transmission for a '38 Coupe Model 82A. I believed it has the original 60 HP engine and transmission. However, I have been having some trouble with replacement parts. When I buy an item that is supposed to fit a 37-39 60 HP trans, the parts are generally too small or don't look like what is in the transmission. My most recent issue is that I replaced the clutch cross shaft bushings and reamed them to fit the existing shaft. I would like to replace the shaft since I now believe it is slightly bent. The shaft is about 13 1/2" long. Every replacement I find is more like 11 to 11 1/2 long. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement shaft that will match the existing one? At this point I'm not sure what to search for. Thanks. P.S. the transmission casing is stamped *54 401510 above the clutch inspection cover, and the casting number is 78-7006 with the bottom rib.

The 78-7006 transmission housing is the same as used on the 85 hp engines. You should talk to either Mac Van Pelt at Van Pelt Sales or Fred at Southside Obsolete. I think I purchased a new cross shaft for my 37 trans from Fred recently to put it back to the original setup.

Some of the V8-60 powered cars used the big 85 hp transmission used on the trucks during this period. Yours must be one of these. The small transmission has a clutch shaft length of approximately 11 1/4".

Just sent an email off to Southside Obsolete to see if they have the longer shaft. I had already sent an email to Vanpelt but haven't gotten a response yet. Thanks for the contact info.
