    What kind of Transmision?

     



    I have a 4 speed Manual. The side access plates ( 1 each side ) are approx ( vertical ) 4" x 6" with a bolt pattern as 1( bottom ) -2-2-1 ( top ). It does have a granny gear.
    Any ideas of the make and years of manufacturing?

    I finally found the info I needed...
    Muncie -SM465, Simialar side plates as the Borg.

    Thanks - J.........

    Now as long as I can figure out the ratios.......

    What are my limitations with the ratios on this?
    Do I even want to mess with them. I like the idea of a very low gear but the dif between 3 and 4 is pretty wide. Almost no power until I get up to 60 or 65 from 50 /55.

    First gear will be in the 6.5:1 range, give or take a few points; second will be around 3.0 or 2.5, third in the 1.7 range, and fourth is 1:1. Basically, it is a three speed, with a very deep additional first gear for getting heavy loads started, and creeping and crawling in rough terrain. The side plates are for the PTO takeoffs; if I remember right, one will run off of the cluster gear, and the other is driven from the output shaft; they have different applications.
