Your tranny is a Ford 3.03 fully synchronized 3 speed as previously mentioned. This is basically the same tranny as the Mustang, Falcon, Maverick, and other Fords used. It does not have a Ford towing gear. Those people you talk to are FOS. You have a problem with your trans as the synchros might be going bad or you don't have much freeplay in your clutch. I used to have a 65 Falcon with a 3 speed that had an unsynchro'ed 3 speed that Ford didn't see fit to give it a 3.03 all synchro'ed 3 speed; instead giving them to Mustangs.

Stamped on the Warranty Plate:
TRANS code A = 1963/65 Ford type 3.03 3 Speed Manual all Syncromesh Transmission.
TRANS code C = 1966/86 Ford type 3.03 3 Speed Manual all Syncromesh Transmission.
If it grinds in 1st gear, the (1) brass syncro blocker ring (C4AZ-7107-D) is worn out.
RichS2659: 144/170/200 I-6's: 1963/67 Falcon/Comet, 1963/65 Fairlane, 1965/66 Mustang came with 'weak sister' Ford type 2.77 trans, has 'crash' 1st gear.
