Carrier gearbox Q+A’s

[Lynn Eades]

The Dodge 4 speed crash box has no thrusts, but some Ford boxes do. They share the Cluster, reverse idler, The gears on the main shaft and sometimes the main shaft (not with the carrier though) the input (spigot shaft) is not shared. The selector forks and shafts are common as well. I'm not familiar with the genealogy, but I know the Dodge was New Process, I guess Ford did their own thing, and I believe Clarke used / made these gear boxes in manual forklifts of the era. Maybe the Ford counter shaft (cluster) pin needs relieving at the end or grinding at the locating slot to let it sit that little bit further back? There cant be much in it. Is you pin a replacement?
