The purpose and function of this page is to acquaint people with the identification of popular North American made transmissions based on pan shape, case outline, and OEM numbering. This page also offers overall dimension, gear ratios and number of gears available in each transmission, and originating year, make and model. | The purpose and function of this page is to acquaint people with the identification of popular North American made transmissions based on pan shape, case outline, and OEM numbering.

| − | The Cruise-O-Matic transmissions are easily identified by their design, which incorporates a cast-iron main case (unlike all other Ford three-speed automatic offerings) with separate aluminum bellhousings and extension housings bolted to it. The Cruise-O-Matics should be avoided in performance applications as very little is available in the way of aftermarket performance parts other than shift kits. The Cruise-O-Matics were also offered with all three bolt-common V8-pattern bellhousings. | + | The Cruise-O-Matic/FMX transmissions are easily identified by their design, which incorporates a cast-iron main case (unlike all other Ford three-speed automatic offerings) with separate aluminum bellhousings and extension housings bolted to it.
