Hey friends, I was hoping a transmission guru may stop by as bud help me ID this 4 speed transmission. I was thinking it may be a NP420. It only has three bolts per side on the top case, but the drain and fill plugs kind of looked like a NP435… any thoughts from the Sweptline crew?
Cheers, Matt

Not a 420. They have a cast iron top. 435 has an aluminum top.

Yes I agree. I believe this was once painted a silver colour.. but I’ll actually check tonight if it is actually aluminum or not..

Does transmission have a metal tag bolted to trans using PTO cover bolts.

Re: Transmission identification- 61 power wagon
Looks like I should have just looked at the data plate on the drivers side door! It appears to be a Borg Warner T98 transmission.
I’m still looking into it more, but it appears to be a unusual transmission, as it was typically used by Jeep.
The research continues..

Re: Transmission identification- 61 power wagon
When you say all are you just referring to military. I have a D 300 VIN Tag showing the T 98 and a couple showing the 435. One is a 67 (435). The other 2 would have to be VIN dated.
