Clark 282v crazy shift pattern ??

Hello from australia!!

I have a 1972 Australian delivered F750 with a 330 HD and a Clark 5 speed direct and Eaton 17221 two speed rear
The Data plate on the box says 282V36 and has the usual Ford DOTA prefix.
serial number is 49706M and under that is says 7004M

my shift patern does not match anything i have seen let alone another clark??
The pattern is
1-2-4
R-3-5
does anyone know if the box is modified as i have never seen a down left reverse? i drive this truck reguarly and the pattern is as i have said, it also has a short 4th gear and you have do go 4L to 5L then back to 4H and 5H to keep the sequence going while splitting.

Can anyone shed some light?
cheers!

reverse down left and 1st and second beside each other.


date plate.

Welcome to FTE!

I can't find that pattern doing a search, including older threads here. What I did find the last time this came up:

The Transmission Page

I don't know much, so stand by for (hopefully) a post from someone who does.

It’s actuall quite a comfortable pattern, I rarely use first sonits just a normal h pattern, the thing I can’t understand is in none of my literature or book , even the internet for that matter I can’t find anything that states that a 282v pattern??
Not even the 1972 ford F750 manual say that , it’s the opposite with reverse up left and first down

the 282 was probably swapped into the truck sometime over the past 45 years to replace the original trans when it dies or broke.
i remember that about the 282 also, first was very rarely used.

I recently bought a 66 Ford f100, for dirt cheap and did some looking and found out it has a 361ft engine and what I think to be a Clark trans but not sure, the trans has no vin plate but has 229215 in the case casting, and the shift **** shows 1-2-o.d
R-3-4
I don't know anything about it and can't find anything

Welcome to FTE!

Does it work?

Look for the Clark OD pattern here--is it the same as yours?

Run it, see how it works.

Anything cast into the sides of that transmission?

that is another old shift pattern for overdrive trans.
it was very popular back then to swap positions of 4th and od.

I'm guessing yours is an early Clark 282v. I have a 1979 GMC 6000 with a Clark 282v that uses this similarly weird shift pattern. Google search shows a 1979 Ford F600 with the same shift pattern.

The 64/72 MPC lists D0TA-7004-M in a whole lot of models from 70/72:




By '71 (by the 1975 Final Issue, that is) they listed a replacement transmission number for service replacement:




And in the 73/79 MPC it's listed in use for 1973 only, not for later years, and some of the duty classes moved a bit (notably the Lx-800 is no longer listed for this transmission). This MPC doesn't list models in the same chart format as the earlier one, but here's an example:




I have a '73 F600 (see Sig) with this transmission, the same shift ball, and with the similar 4L-4H-5L-5H shift arrangement.






[later]
Found one on eBay:
