We normally allow about 4 weeks for arepair job, although it can take longer if a particular part must belocated from outside of our parts stock. Regular 1932-48 three speedtransmissions can be shipped via UPS, in a compact wood crate to prevent damage.This will protect your transmission, and provide the packaging forthe return shipment. We will no longer accept transmissions sent to us incardboard cartons.
We have developed a crate design that works well forthe early Ford 3 speed transmissions up through 1948. You can purchase acrate from us for $90.00, which we can ship to you via UPS. Or you canmake a crate yourself using the following diagrams (click on links below):The 1949and newer passenger car transmissions have a longer, slender shape andrequire a different shape for the wood crate. We recommend building acrate with general dimensions of about 16' x 16' x 36'long, using the same type materials as the above crate. You will have toplace wood cross braces and supports inside to handle these longertransmissions, including the overdrive types. For UPS shipping purposes,you must keep the overall weight under 150 lbs. Any transmissions that areheavier than about 125 lbs will almost certainly require shipping via LTLfreight on a wood skid.

Our shop rate is currently $95.00 per hour. There is acharge for the casting cleaning process (including repaint) for the four pieces that makeup the overall housing. This is a thermal bake process plus a media blast before paint (standard colors: cast blast gray, black,antique Ford green, or antique Ford blue). The charge is $85.00 for regular 3 speed transmissions and $95.00 for overdrivetransmissions. We do notquote a standard rebuild charge since we do not know in advance what partsmight be needed beyond the usual bearings, seals, gaskets, etc.
Once wehave completed the teardown and inspection of your gearbox and gears, wewill contact you with an estimate of your total cost of the rebuild.Acommon question is how much do we charge for a rebuild. The common wearparts (bearings, seals, thrust washers, gaskets, etc) will typically runabout $225.00 to $295.00 but can go higher if additional pieces are needed. A regularthree speed toploader transmission typically takes about six hours actual shop timeto do a normal teardown, cleanup, and reassembly.
