Is there such a thing as a non-cast iron Cruiso?
By Dave Shoe - 01/21/2002 5:55:24 PM; IP 12.2.11.131
I've seen where the FX and MX Cruiseomatic are referred to as "cast iron" Cruisomatics, and I assume the FMX and CW Cruisomatics also carry the "cast iron" nickname.

Is there such a thing as a non-cast iron Cruisomatic?

Also, keep in mind that the shift pattern for all Ford 3-speed automatics changed from Dual-Drive (PRND21) to Select-Shift (PRN21L) at the start of 1967. Having noted this, I believe I have heard of the manual-shift methods you described, but they were in reference to the 3 speed cast iron Fordomatics (PRNDL) of 1951-1958 (not the the 2-speed aluminum Fordomatic of 1959-1963 which was an all-new cheapo precursor to the C4). Since the Cruisomatic was based on the cast iron Fordomatic of 1951-58, perhaps you are referring to the tranny of this earlier period? Cruisomatics first showed up in 1958.
