Tranny filter, cruise-o-matic

[Anders]

Hi guys,
Just a quickie.
I was ordering a filter and gasket for my Cruice-O-Matic, and the guy in the shop and I looked up what numbers it should be and stuff...
Anyway, It came back today, but the number didnīt match at all.
The part I got now is a filter kit from ATP with # B-33
Checking Google on the number, I came to a site ( http://www.rockauto.com/dbphp/prt,4,B33 ) that sell this for these cars:

EDSEL CORSAIR 1959
EDSEL RANGER 1959
FORD CLUB (1953 - 1962)
FORD COUNTRY SEDAN (1951 - 1967)
FORD COUNTRY SQUIRE(1951 - 1967)
FORD CUSTOM (1951 - 1957)
FORD CUSTOM 300 1957
FORD CUSTOM 500(1965 - 1967)
FORD FAIRLANE(1955 - 1962)

FORD RANCHERO(1966 - 1967)
FORD SUNLINER(1952 - 1962)

MERCURY METEOR 1961
MERCURY MONTCLAIR (1958 - 1960)

Do you think it fit my ī58?

Another thing......
cost was a bit different.... Cost in US: 3.96 dollars.
Here, the very same part cost 320 SEK ( 53 dollars )
That sucks!

If this is a BIRD, it should have an MX (MED CASE) CRUISE-O-MATIC and the PN should be B-41. Double check.

Tranny filter, cruise-o-matic

I second those words of Tbird430. All in favor, say "Aye"! Sorry, I forgot for a moment that I was not in the Board room!

[Anders]

@Kultulz: That was a good overwiew. I did got the wrong one, but I ordered the right number.
Will go back and complain...

Now, I got brakes again!!!! I donīt mean slowing speed anymore. We are talking Stop the car now! Where I want it.
Adjusting the shoes was the answer. Feels a lot safer as a matter of fact....

[tbird430]

KULTULZ ur welcome.

Good job with the brakes Anders. "Safety 1st..." That's my moto, just ask my wife.

Anders if you can get your money back and are in no hurry for the filter kit.I am sure one of us State side guys could pick it up at the local NAPA store and send it to you for less than half the price you paid.

[Anders]

I got my money back.
Well, I would be very happy and grateful if someone can help me out, but I donīt know how to send money easy.
I do have a Pay Pal account, so if someone can handle that, that way would be realy easy. And if you make the package looks so it not look like itīs from a company, and write "gift", chanses is great that I donīt need to pay customs
I also found a shop who can help me with adjusting the tranny, for what I beleve is a quite fair price. Approx. 200 dollars, so as soon as I have the new filter, he will hopefully sort it out.
The wedding-drive is just one month away now....

I will check in the morning with NAPA to get you a price on a Filter and new pan gasket for a Cruice-o-Matic,what year is it for.If you want it I will buy it and ship to you,but my concern is will the shipping be more that what you would pay at Sweden. I just shipped by USA mail 6 Lb to canada and the cost was $25.60 I will be glad to check with the Post office and see if I can get a Est.cost.

I check with NAPA here and they did not have the filter screen.
I then talked with the tech. who rebuild my tramy he told me that there were different size pans sm.-med-lrg. he said you need to count the number of bolts to make sure you get the right one
He gets his parts from:

I called them and ask about a screen filter and gasket set fot a 1958 Ford T-Bird with Cruice-O-Matic their cost was $26.26 and they do ship world wide. You might contact them for help

[Anders]

I understand this is Medium size, and the number B-41 says so, If Iīm right informed.
I will contact Fatsco. Thanks a million for your time and support!!!!!

It was a nightmare trying to get a filter kit for my T-bird. It is in fact an MX Cruise-O-Matic transmission. I told the guy at the parts store what it was, he special ordered it, waited 2 weeks, and they sent a filter kit for a C-6. Another 2 weeks and I got the filter, but no gasket. Then a week and a half later, I got the gasket... for a C-6! Finally, after half a dozen trips to the parts store, I got the right filter and gasket, and for a while I had an extra filter, but I no longer have it. I do remember seeing a filter kit either online or in a catalog for $20-30 USD +shipping, but I don't remember where it was. I thought it was Mac's Antique and Classic Parts, but I just checked the site and couldn't find it. Maybe they sold out what they had, or maybe it was somewhere else.
