| Mark I should have also asked what sort of machine that this tranny is being installed into? What we have here  is a 1956 O.D. slated for installation into a T Bird and some Mercurys. The T Bird tranny was adapted from the Mercury. The Ford part # for the yoke you need is B6S4841-A Hope this helps Oldmics

I have 2 T-89's the truck version of the T-85. One has a spicer yolk and the other one has a slip yolk. Mine is broke but it's a 31 spline. It's good to know a C-6 will work. My main problem is I need a 6" input shaft as mine's 6 1/2. I think T-10 stuff may work too. I'd trade my 2 T-89's for one good T-85. One of mine is a short tail shaft and the other one is a long tail shaft. One is basically a parts tranny and the sun gears are shot ..

| Thanks Oldmics. I was going to install it in my '55 Sunliner but I've desided to use it in my '29 Model A Roadster behind a Y-Block. What numbers indicate 1956?

| Just the fact that the R11-1 E and also the R11-1 H were 1956 installs only for both the Merc and T Bird according to my documentation. Oldmics

In fact I'd trade them for a good T-86 that would bolt right in ..

| To anyone interested, I just received a yoke (from a C6) for my T85 (passenger car) and it fits perfect. ebay item #190296112754 Here are the numbers... These are new slip yokes for Ford C-6 transmissions, they have been sandblasted and sprayed with a rust preventive coating. 2-3-3131X 1310 Series u-joint 1.390" 30 based on 31 spline 1.685" ground hub diameter 1.150" counterbore 6 9/16" U-joint center to end After a gift certificate from paypal, I paid a little less than $10 altogether. This is a nice piece.

| I just check Ebay for a 16 spline yoke and found one for a Fordomatic, so I check my Ford Chassis Parts catalog to see if it would interchange with my Heavy duty 3 speed OD "T-85" and sure enough the Fordomatic and the heavy duty 3 speed have the same part number. can anyone verify this?

What p/n are you talking about. 49-55 used the same Yoke except for the police intercepter. 56 was still 16 spline,but some used a Spicer joint and some a Mechanics. I have a Hollander for those years and they are pretty good in showing what fit in the real world.
