jd4440 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 How do you tell the difference in park pawls between the early, late 5X88, and the magnums. I have 2, but no part numbers on them. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went through a deal with the differences between the gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super A_sepa Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 The couple magnum pawls I have seen have had numbers on them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB5288 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Any chance you have a salvage yard nearby? Maybe they have each of them and maybe they have the part numbers one them and maybe you can determine what you have. That's a lot of maybe's but it's possible.

I talked to the salvage yard here, and they don't have a good one but are looking for one they had that was bad, didn't call back yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB5288 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I have an early "bad" one I could get a picture of if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 On the boxcar Magnum there was multiple ones used. ANY high speed euro ones used a different park paw, park paw cover and constant mesh gear was bigger ( causing the paw and cover needing to be different) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88seriesrestorer Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 This is a as a rule statement. The new s/n paws were not stamped the old was. I go by the park lock gear part number. 120586c1 is old style. 1277036c1 is the new gear. Buy park locks by gear number then u can never miss match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the difference in the gears? I searched for info on this topic and couldn't find much Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy a new paw be sure to grind the button off between the two teeth. If you dont park will not hold. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
