This Himico accessory transmission made by Hinkley Motors replaces Ford's planetary gear transmission with a 3-speed+R sliding gear, lever shifted transmission and pan. It retains a rearward transmission drum brake and does not require shortening the drive shaft. This unit also has the optional auxiliary low (or fourth forward speed), which was...

When a engine rebuilder starts a conversation saying I've never seen one this bad you know it isn't going to be good news. My '17 touring has 5400+ mostly trouble-free miles on it since August of 2019. The engine is strong and the transmission worked smoothly and ran quietly. Reverse was never as smooth as low but it did what I needed it to do....

Today I picked up my engine after a transmission rebuild. As proof of life the rebuilder set it up on a Dyno and ran it for me, first with a Holley NH, then with my Holley G. I have a NH at home in a box that I've never gotten around to installing on the engine. Based upon the results, I think I will now :D
