trans color

Engine is continental gold over Lincoln green.... seems to be green bellhousing.... what color is the gearbox?
Jack has the gold spray, who carries the other colors?

[Mark Norris]

Gold with hint of green - entire engine, bellhousing and transmission pan, Jack's spray paint is the factory colour.
Black - transmission casing, ducting for torque converter, gear change guard, fan, radiator, starter motor, generator, steering pump, carb manifold

The Continental Mark II Authenticity Manual (the basis for LCOC judging) has the following:

Converter Housing (aluminum)-unpainted
Man Gear box - black or unpainted
Extension (aluminum) - unpainted
Dip Stick tube - black

My bell housing is unpainted. I think my main gear box is black. I will need to get it up on a lift to check the extension.

Correction, looking at mine the bell housing is indeed unpainted.

Hello,

I restored my transmission as requested from the authenticity manual. These were also the colors of the transmission before the restoration.

Here is a picture:

I checked my transmission extension. It is like the bell housing, unpainted.
