The 3 speed gearbox out of my 61 Newport is the cast iron TF with the cable with wheel adjustment .
It had self imploded .
I managed to get another gearbox the same but it is fairly sad as well .
I may be able to get a earlier 3 speed with the earlier push button cable set up for parts if suitable .
My question is are there any internal differences for parts between the later and earlier 3 speed cast iron Torqueflites ?
Engine is 361 BB with 8 bolt crank .
Someone told me i can get a adapter flex plate for the 8 bolt crank and use the 62-65 aluminium TF and convertor .
Is this correct ?
Would my push button cable mate with the 62 -65 aluminium TF .
Cheers,
Greg
