[T3] Flywheel Question

Sat Sep 19 19:36:30 PDT 2015

Not all swing axel are 6V but I am not sure on the type 3 ones Jim or someone else will have to chime in on that one. Numbers always help.

It does have a freeway flyer, but I think it was rebuilt by someone local to the Killeen area. I really have no history on the transmission other than partial information and guessing.

If I get the numbers off the transmission tomorrow, could that help us figure out of it is already a later tranny? Or were all swing axle transmissions 6v? It is time for me to learn something tonight.
