      Someone PLEASE ID this TOPLOADER 4 SPEED?

      I have checked all of the websites I can find but noone has the code listed that is listed on my toploader 4 speed? I have the riveted metal tag and the numbers are crystal clear on them. I degreased it and the numbers are very very clear so I know I have them right but still cant find the numbers Unless I am reading the wrong numbers.. Here is the tag numbers on the riveted metal plate attached to the tranny. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

      RUG FP JC1
      E3URBA 0004

      I see codes for rug-E3 but not for a RUG FP code?

      Also on the top lip of the tranny These letters and numbers are stamped into the tranny itself JSN1084.

      Thanks

      You could put it in 4th gear and turn the input 1 turn, if ithe output turns more than one turn, you know its the POS OD tranny, if turns an equal amount, at least you can sleep tonight that you have a real Toploader with 1:1 4th gear

      Well I stumbled upon a website that had some really good info on it. It actually had a page that said POSER TOPLOADERS with a ton of pictures of the FAKE toploaders compared to the REAL Toploaders.

      Good new bad news situation... Goodnews is that I got the right info before wasting money on tranny parts... Bad news is I have the OD type.. The pictures are really really good as is the info. Here is the link for anyone else needing this info.

      The funny thing is someone put a TOPLOADER tail shaft on this tranny, maybe to fool someone else. I really dont care either way since I have a TKO 600 that is going in the car. I just wanted to know what I had for curiousity reasons as well as what it is worth.. So anyone willing to guess what it is worth?


      p.s. Now that I look at the link I can see that it is the david kee info that someone else mentioned.... thankyou!!
