datzenmike Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 My '71 621 did the same thing and I replaced it. It's from wear, and although you can probably drop the pan and reach up inside and maybe get it out of forth it will just do it again. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Sourcing another 521 4 speed will be difficult and they are 45 years old. This will give you some options when looking.... The early 620 with L16 motor and 510 wagon have the exact same 1,2,3 gears as yours. 510 4 speeds are thrown away (can't give them away) to make room for 5 speed swaps. The 510 sedan 4 speed will also work as will the one from the 710 (but not the 610 as it's too long) and the A10 with L motor. All these do not have the bolt on driveshaft flange and spline like on your 521 but it can be removed from yours and used on those. The hole in the end of the spline where the nut was needs to be plugged or transmission oil will leak out. Get a 40mm core or 'frost' plug for an engine block and hammer in. 521 bolt in spline with driveshaft flange. Remove bolt and it slides right out. To use on another transmission just plug the hole where the nut was... 1 Quote Link to comment
Lobo Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 that is the problem I can't find any around here closes I found was a 4 speed in sac but no way to get there now I have seen ppl taking about napz trans can I take the front part of my 4speed case and adapt it to the rear of the napz case our does my tranny come apart like that I have not looked yet Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 The F4W63 (yours) has all the gears mounted in the front case. The later 71B 4 and 5 speeds, the front case slides right off and the gears are all mounted on an adapter plate that holds them. Totally different transmissions. There are F4W63 L series and Z (NAPS) bolt patterns so if you find one make sure it's for an L series the seller may not know what he has. The NAPS 4 speed was used in the '80-'82 A10 (later 510) in the US Quote Link to comment
