1938 Roadmaster gears or transmission needed

[Pete Phillips]

A 1938 Roadmaster owner in Australia is in need of some transmission parts for his car. I thought I had these parts, but mine are not the correct ones. Looking for the First/Reverse idler gear, (see photo) and the cluster gear/shaft as shown in the attached photos. He is in a hurry, trying to get this done in time for his daughter's wedding. Any help appreciated. In the photo of the single gear, I need to replace the one on the left; the one on the right does not fit. It has a different pitch to the gear teeth.

P.S. I do have a used 1937 Century transmission. I have not torn into it yet. Does anyone know if its gears would be the same as a 1938 Roadmaster transmission?

Pete,

My Master Parts List ( 1928 to 1946 models ) shows the following - in case you can't see it clearly it gives the same part number for these transmission parts as fitting   1937 - 38 - 39  60 - 80 - 90  and 1940  60 - 70 - 80 - 90

so parts from the 1937 Century box should be the same as you are after.

OK, thanks to all. I guess I will take my '37 Century transmission apart today.
