    Identification of 1906-1910 Era Transmission

    in What is it?

    Posted · Edited by slightmiss (see edit history)

    It is a brown and lipe gear box. They made transmissions for all sorts of cars. They took there basic design and changed the mounting arangments to fit a paticular car manufactures needs. Without knowing the hight of the square drive center line to the mounting area and the mounting hole spacing, square drive size, length and width it would be praticuly imposible to know if it would fit your aplication. Velies ran this style transmission for at least 4 years and every year it changed mounting style and size. This is not a Velie transmission Also is it for sale? because if the gear cluster is the same as my car I would love to rebuild my transmission that is in much worse shape than this. Call me let me know (619) 873-5550 thanks Chris

    I am a member of the HCFI and have been for quite a long time, I don't rejoin every year because I require more reserch on different cars I do it because it's a non profit organization. They help preserve all this wonderfull information that you yourself were so happy to have, and they keep it for future generations of car restorers. Yes I do call them and get info on different cars I am interested in buying or need a origanal wirring diagram that I can not get any where else and in my opion if you got more info in 3 days than you did in one year than you were not cheated you got what you paid for. Also if you are only using the online tool for your reserch you should call or email them and find out what else they have on your car. The stuff on the internet is just trade journals and magazines ads, you should contact them and they will let you know what they have in the way of service manuls and factory sales info. Not all of there info is on the net yet so mabe you can feel better about not getting your full year of membership.

    Water Wetter

    Water Wetter will work just fine on a car with a pump. If you have some time on your hands and want to do an experiment try this, put a pot of water on the stove and turn it on high. You will notice small bubbles forming on the bottom just before it boils, this is what is happening in your engine. Those bubbles look inocent enof but what they are doing is keeping the water from contacting the metal causing it to basicly be insulated and limmiting heat tranfer. Now let the pot cool and put some Water Wetter in there and stir it up and then turn on the heat the bubbles should not be there or be reduced. So at this point the heat transfer is greater causeing it to run cooler. So that is how the magical liquid works.

    I used this product in my model t and it never overheated, but it never ran hot before ethier. I have used it in racing and friends motorhomes and it worked great. In my model T I used it with stright water no coolant. Coolant raises the boiling point and can cause a thermosyphon system not to start circulating until a much higher temp. I would try it and if it dosen't work the worst thing that could happen is your out 8 bucks or what ever it cost now at days. Also make sure you cooling system is up to snuff, Check the radator flow, the block isn't filled with sludge or anything else that could cause your problem. Remember the car wasn't made to overheat it dose that because something is most likely wrong.
