"A-21.02.1" is not the serial number, but the pre-August 1954 part number for the left-hand casting. The old part numbers were found on split-case transaxles until well into 1955.
The actual serial number will be on the right-hand side, immediately behind the nose cone.

The case halves were cast 13 May 1954.
The serial number will be on the side where the starter mounts, at the front.
There is a possibility this is a unserialized replacement case. There were problems with the early 3-synchro, split case transmissions and many ended up rebuilt or replaced.

| I am building a 56 oval I bought in pieces. The trans serial # is A2784336. I think this means its a type 2 transmission from early 59. Did I get that right? If so will the gear ratio be wrong for my type 1. It seems to fit the chassis and shift OK. |
