Guest DougD Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Pat,Your transmission in the picture is an M6, not an M5. One clue is the double connection terminals on the solenoid and interrupter switch units; the M5 units have single connections on those units. The M6 transmissions do use a circuit breaker; the earlier M5's have a kickdown relay and fuse assembly that was eliminated on the M6.Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest De Soto Frank Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 One other notable difference between the M-5 & M-6: the M-6 has a longer tail-shaft housing: the longish part with the two bolt-bosses in the photo...The M-5 has more of a squat rear-cover, just deep enough to accomdate the oil-pump, and the e-brake drum is fairly tight to the main tranny case.The M-6 is approximately 4 inches longer than the M-5. ( I discovered this when I tried to swap a 1950 M-6 into my '48 New Yorker with the M-5.)Doug's spot-on about the two-terminal solenoid and interrupter switch. Also, the M-6 solenoid mounts to the case at an angle (similar to the governor); the M-5 solenoid sits bolt-upright on a cover (houses the pilot valve) that secures to the side of the tranny case with four cap-screws.

I've heard those 6/12 batterys from http://www.antiqueautobattery.com/ work well, but I'd really prefer upgrading my system to 12V, with the negitive ground.
