Re: M41 swap 1800 71

posted by  someone claiming to be George Downs on  Wed Nov 14 16:11 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Are you sure this guy is your buddy?

I have a hard time imagining that an M41 would be unrebuildable,

or that it would even be in serious need of rebuilding, unless it

was terribly abused.

There is something pretty fishy about the whole deal.

Is this the original front driveshaft? You can't get 3/4" out of the

slip joint?

If the tranny in fact did come from a 142, it would be an M41, since

M410s were only used in 164s (normal bellhousing) and 1800s (small

bellhousing to fit 4 cylinder engine). One way to verify is that

the bolts holding the tranny to the bellhousing on the M41 go from

the side of the tranny through bolt holes in ears on the tranny case

into the bellhousing. On the M410 the bellhousing is the tranny front

cover and it bolts on from inside the bellhousing into the tranny.

You may have to visit a salvage to find the flange to put on the

back of the tranny to fit your driveshaft. Be sure and measure the

flange before you go and take a ruler, tapemeasure, etc with you,

so you are sure to get the right one.
