Here we can see where the shifter would engage with the clutch, should slow speed be called for. Pretty nifty that all of this actually works!
The 1956 - 1960 single pulley solid tub transmission uses the same belt as the last of the filter flo GE washers. Original PN was WH1X1249, RMA belt number 4L300.
Getting the coupler drive plate on can be tricky. The later 80's GE repair guide suggests using a 6 penny nail to hold the coupler in place on the shaft extension through the roll pin hole. This will allow you to more easily set the roll pin in place and give you one hand to hold the roll pin and punch, and the other to hand holding the hammer. Also, take note of any wear on the inside of the coupler drive plate. If there is a large groove worn inside the shaft on the inside it will need to be replaced. Don't ask me how I know, LOL.
The clutch still had a slight and random rattle in slow speed. I'm attributing this to the bent finger on the carrier plate that I attempted to straightened out. It's ok, it at least sounds like a GE
