They are not the same housing. The 71C is 15/16" shorter than the 72C.

-Kurt

That part I was aware of, the guy that bought one of these had a 71c ini his cruiser, apparently they are dififerent housiings, same guts, it has been a huge ordeal and he wants his money back... I am working with the guy since I am not a dik. there was never anything said in the sale about a gaurantee to fit or money back, he is lucky Ii am a nice guy, he claiimed through paypal Ii sent the wrong thiing but since it was shuipped and it was a 71C still they denied to deal with it.
Good thing I am a honest person, I could go tell him to pound salt at this point.

If the cruiser was an inboard, the trans would have a flange output. Yes the cases are different for flange and plug-in (tail stocks)

Thanks Kurt,,i did not know that . SORRY i tought they just had 1 less clutchplate ??????

I did know that the driveline and plug in is diffrent.

But then again 15/16 is not that much ,,is it ,,,,,it would still work ?????? or no ?????

Yea... Ii know that now, the part that bugs me is I lisited iti for what it was with a pic, it did not fiti his application and now says iti is my fault he didi not know what he needed, apparently it was my job to know his application..

I hear ya, the guy bought the wrong parts for the job.

Yea, nad says it's my fault!

Not to hijack this thread . . . but for those who might need:

One pair of Borg Warner Velvet Drive 1:1 72C transmissions, for TRS applications. They were sold to me as new old stock by a friend who had a boat building business. They were on his shelves for years, and now they are on mine.

I also have another pair of 72C's, that are good used takeouts, and include the hard to find TRS tailstocks. They came out of my 35' Cigarette Mistress, which wound up being sold as an unfinished project.

I'd like to unload both pairs, I'm asking $750 each unit or $1200 for each pair. They are located in South Florida

E-mail me at [email protected] if you're interested and I can send you pics.

Thanks,

Harry
