Yes.

if you still have these please email me at [email protected]

After having a deal go wrong... I am stating to do all your own research of what you need, These are from a Mercruiser TRS setup.

I may be getting the second one back due to not fitting that application, so do your homework before purchasing, I do not gaurantee any applications, that is on the buyer, do your homework.

Number on tag... MODEL:10-17-016

Hey ,,,fullforce,,,,dont let them tell you they will not fit.

A c71 or 72 is the same housing ,,,,,on your pic there is no tailstock on it ,,so what ever tailstock u bolt on there it will fit.

They even take a #6 tailstock unless the tranny's are for driveshaft then they will not take any tailstock.

Can u post a picture of the back side of that tranny ?????

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

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

Still have these....

Still sittin here..

CIG any of these drivelines ???? :drink:

I bought the two new ones for spares. I think Harry sold the other two as well...

I have a 71C, needs a rebuild. Plug in style, no tailstock. Excellent Condition. Was Huber Built 925 spec. Will sell cheap, just don't need it. takes up room

It is my understanding the 71c was used on small blocks and the 72c was used on 454s. To me they look the same externally. Maybe the 71c is smaller in housing dimension . However internally the 71c clutch pack is much smaller in size than the 72c. The pinion gears are also much smaller on the 71c. I can not imagine why Huber would modify a 71c as the internals are so small. Maybe the tranmission dicussed on this post is really a 72c.

The 71C is 15/16" shorter (in length) than the 72C

It was used on low hp (330) big blocks.

Small blocks were typically fitted with the aluminum case MercTrans that had Ford internals.

You can modify 71C with two additional clutches. We raced for 8yrs with TRS w/modified 71C...never broke or hurt the transmissions with 468 ci @ 500-525 HP.

71C was also the transmission that came with the 370 TRS in the late 80's. The 420 TRS have the 72C.

Still have one left.
