Application
This transmission was used throughout the complete Dodge WC-series 4x4 vehicles (1941-1945) such as the WC-51, WC-52, WC-53, WC-54, WC-56, WC-57 and related models, as well as in the 6x6 variants WC-62 and WC-63. The 4x4 models featured a single-speed transfer case, whilst the 6x6 1½-ton models were equipped with a dual-ratio transfer case with 1.5:1 reduction in low gear. Note: handbrake mounting differs between 4x4 (on transmission) and 6x6 (on transfer case).
Installation notes
Check condition of bearings, synchroniser mechanism and gears before installation. The transmission requires specialist knowledge of non-synchronised gearboxes. Ensure correct alignment with transfer case and engine. Handbrake mounting differs between 4x4 and 6x6 configuration. Professional rebuild strongly recommended for operational use.
Compatibility
Suitable for Dodge WC-series 4x4 (½-ton and ¾-ton) and 6x6 (1½-ton) models from production years 1941-1945. Not compatible with earlier VC-series or later civilian Dodge lorries without modifications. Note: 4x4 models use a different handbrake configuration than 6x6 models. Transfer case type must correspond with original vehicle configuration.
Historical context
The Dodge WC-series was produced from 1941 to 1945 with a total of approximately 378,000 units. This robust 4-speed transmission was one of the most reliable components of the WC-series and contributed to Dodge's reputation as a supplier of high-quality military vehicles during WWII.
