one-shot Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Thank You Cleaning off the shelves and reducing inventory. I was tempted to make a side trip and look up the old car and see what it really was. Saved me a chigger or tick bit. Cant seem to correct initial post.

Personal messages, look at the top of the web page when you are logged in and you will see what looks like a small white envelope. If that envelope has a number next to it , that indicates you have personal messages. The bell symbol next to the envelope is for notifications, like now when I quoted your response it will generate a notification that I did that.

Ok, I sent Harold a PM for you about your need for information. Harold is a good guy, I have worked with him in the past on parts. He is retired like many of us here so he might be busy doing stuff and away from his computer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly_John Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) I'm holding my breath (well, almost) waiting to see if this transmission sale takes place. And, Terry B., what a good guy you are to facilitate the communication. Please keep us informed, Harold. Good luck with your sale!

one-shot Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 I think it will. This was a fairly used and enjoyed 38 clean unrestored Desoto that was sourced from the much storied little old Lady by this gentleman. Reverse gear lost a lot of teeth. This fellow needs to tell us his Acquisition story one day , and his wife wants to drive it in the Christmas parade December 3rd. His case number matches, but he has a floor shift. I believe Tops should just swap easy. I will pull top tomorrow and check out condition of gears. Lets all hold our breath I pulled the transmission, drive shaft and rear end twenty years ago from an old car by an old house in the woods; No motor in car. Its Christmas I hope WE I can make it happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 It sure would be great to see Dan back on the road, Harold. I really hope he stays with us and becomes a regular as he learns to "navigate this stuff". Don't worry, Dan. If I can use this forum fairly well, you will soon be be better at it than I am ! Oh, by the way, we had a very well liked governor, later senator, (R), named Dan Evans here in Washington State. Sadly, his brand of politician is extinct these days. We love him here, but I can well imagine he would be labeled an environmental wacko, or a commonist or worse by some. I first thought HE was THE Dan Evans, but though engineer that he is, I think that age 94, his wrenching days are done. Welcome, TheDanEvans ! Please let us know how you are getting on. - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-shot Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 I think we are good to go. almost 90 years of old oil has keep it safe inside. With a light I see no bad teeth. Went thru all the gears. Came from a column shift it seems. Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-shot Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 SOLD Shipped it today less the top piece. He has a floor shift. Did a quick cleaning, industrial plastic wrap, foamed the heck out of it.in a wooden box. Looks like it has never been touched. I sure hope this works out. Would lend some credence to keeping odd ball parts on the shelf for a greater good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Tharp Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 This is Dale w Mopar Heaven In Montana, I do have an old 3 speed transmission, Iam not sure it’s DeSoto, May be Mopar if it would help anybody, looks like a longer tail housing than the DeSoto there dealing with.

one-shot Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 I will go look up the car I pulled it from with any luck its still there on its side where I left it. That's how I got the drive train out, xmission, drive shaft/rear end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-shot Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 This time of year GOOD NEWS is at a premium. This made my day. This beauty is on the road again. I packed the transmission post office proof. (Wooden box and foam) Got there perfect. I felt a slight piece of dirt in the main bearing. But that was it. Don flushed it numerous times, changed the rear seal and replaced the emergency brake with his. Not perfect going into third, but that's it. It is back home and in its place in the garage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
