I think the FMX may have showed up in 1967.

By Dave Shoe - 05/08/2003 1:00:45 AM; IP 216.243.176.34

I'm not sure of the various dates, but the FMX (Borg Warner tranny contracted by Ford) was a tranny that fit between the FX and MX (both FX and MX terms became publically known in 1966, though both were introduced in 1958), so you can sorta consider it a heavy duty FX or a light duty MX tranny. The goal was probably to offer a tranny that fell halfway between the strength of the C4 and C6.

The oil pan gasket is different for all three, and is probaly the best way to determine what ya got (not that I can even tell the difference in the actual FX, MX, or FMX trannies, as I can't because I mainly study the C6).

Good luck. I've noticed that some literature uses the term FMX generically to indicate any of the three trannies. I guess even the tranny repair writers had trouble determining what was what.
