Tim; Thanks for your responce. I am hoping it is a 52 transmission. I looked and looked at the P in the VP and it is a P. Maybe mis stamped and should have been the F. Here is one more mystery. The clutch is a 10 in. Most catalogues list the 10 in. as a 54 for a 3 speed . I don't know much about the interchaneability of pressure plates and clutches with different trans. Could this be ??Thanks
