Your tranny should be the Borg-Warner M-35 air cooled aluminum which was used from 1957 to 1965.

You must have one of the last 196's in a 65 American because one I saw had the 232 in it.
The TSM has a good section on rebuilding that transmission. I put in a used one about 30 years ago and other than a bit of a leak at the selector shaft it is still doing its job well. |

In '65, you could have a flathead 196(base model 220), a standard OHV 196(only year for full flow oil filter), or the 232(not available with AC).

raysinvegas, I see you have five AMC's. If I ever get a second garage built maybe I'll get another. That 65 with the 232 in it I sure hated to see stripped and off to the junk yard. As I recall it didn't even have any rust in it.

In 1965, the 195.6 flathead was standard in all but the 440 hardtop which came standard with the OHV 195.6.

Whoever originally ordered the car went for the OHV option or the original flat-head was swapped out somewhere in its lifespan. |
