Transimission ID

I found this at the junkyard the other day, it's a HD Borg-Warner 5 speed, I think it is out of a heavy duty truck, the question is, which truck and what model/family is this transmission from? It's bolted to a 460.





More pictures here: http://s1095.photobucket.com/albums/...D%205%20speed/


It's a massive heavy beast, dual PTOs, big iron case, and somebody swapped it into a an 87 F250.

Anybody have any idea what it is and what it's out of?

I wish I could... there were some on the side but I couldn't read them or get the camera to take a clear shot of them, the frame rail was right in the way.

By the way, on the warranty plate on an 87 F250 4x4, what does trans code: P decode to?

EDIT: I'll go back to the junkyard sometime with a wire brush and some chalk, maybe I can make those number show up just enough to be readable.

P = Borg Warner T-19 4 Speed Manual Transmission / No Warranty Plates after 1980, VIN is 17 digits from 1981 thru today.

Your pics show part of a number ending in 911.

A T19 has dual PTO ports and numbers ending 911 according to:

The Borg-Warner T18 & T19 Transmissions - Novak Conversions

What makes you think it's a 5 speed?

Maybe he's counting reverse.

Trans

That looks like the factory installed BW 4 speed T19. A common trans in these trucks.

I ran it through the gears and I distinctly remember it having 6 gears, including reverse, but maybe I could be wrong? I didn't drive it, maybe one of the gates was broke off inside so it felt like it had 6 gears?

It sure does look like a T19.

I need to go back to the yards and take another look at this thing.

Upon further reflection--IIRC, I checked a while back and BW did not make a 5 speed for use in mediums. The 5ers were either NP (NP542) or Clark.

There's a reason the truck is at the scrappy. The trans may need a simple fix like bushings or pins in the shifter, or it may need shift forks.

If you want a T19, make a good deal on it as it will need some fiddling if it has "five" gear positions.
