Can anyone tell me exactly which transmission I have? I thought I had it properly IDed and the rebuild kit is not what I took apart!

I have attached pictures, but it is a 3 speed column shift out of a 1953 3100.

Your responses will help prevent further cursing!

You have a 1948-54 Commercial 3 speed per the cast in PN (see attached pic snipped from the parts catalog). Likely built in December 1952 per the numbers (L52) cast into the case in your second photo.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
