Welcome to FTE

Borg Warner T-85N 3 speed manual with overdrive (non syncro 1st gear). Optional: 1965/67 F100 240/300/352; 1968/71 F100 240/300/360/390; 1969/71 F100 302.

Also required: O/D relay, kickdown switch, cable and wiring harness.

New replacement O/D parts are very hard to find, as all are obsolete.

An NVG-4500 5 spd manual is also an option, but the conversion bellhousing is spendy.
