Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2005Saginaw 4 Speed OD
The BW, T10, OD conversion, (in the T-85 thread), attracted a lot of interest. It turns out the lighter duty Saginaw 4 speed is a natural for conversion - no special parts needed. http://www.chevytrucks.org/tech/overdrive.htm . Of course, it has a Chevy style input shaft, that won't work with a Stude bell housing. But I've heard some folks have Studes with the light duty Chevy engines. Seriously, this one might work in an Avanti II. Look at how the eight ratios are spaced - nice. The article is from '75.

How many Saganaw 3 speed O.D.'s have you seen around lateley. The Sag. was used only on Chevy Monzas and Buick Skylarks and Pontiac Sunbirds of the 80's with 4 cyl. and the 3.8 Liter Buick 6 a healthy 350 would tear one up.Had one in a 53 K about 85 or so never tried to put one in an Avanti but I don't think you could. I have a Tremic TKO 3550 in my Avanti R2007 and had to do a little trimming to get it in. A. J., I had a 1976 Vega GT with the Saginaw 4-Speed. Dave Miller I sold a Muncie M-22 that I had in My Hawk to Jerry Kaiser. Great tranny, nice gear spread. Someone had machined a t-85 input shaft for it. It had a t-86 nose piece and it always leaked 90 w gear oil out the input. Bad on clutch discs. It was found by Bruce Sandberg in a Lark drag car from the late sixties. Jerry is going to fix the leakage problem. Great tranny. KM I sold a Muncie M-22 that I had in My Hawk to Jerry Kaiser. Great tranny, nice gear spread. Someone had machined a t-85 input shaft for it.

Or did you fashion your own parts?? >>The BW, T10, OD conversion, (in the T-85 thread), attracted a lot of >>interest.

Transtar60: Red Roberts is still playing around with the shifters for the new T500 and T600 Tremic trans's. When I saw him about a month ago he asked me for the measurement of back of block to flywheel mounting mounting on crank dimension said he didn't have it and also wanted to know where the shifter came up on the Avanti. He is making shifters with different offsets. I took a bellhousing off a 57 or 58 Hawk with a Ford pattern T-10 or T-85 then put the 1 1/2" adapter spacer from McLeod on it along with my own machined pilot bushing, the ford is 1/16" smaller than the Stude. Thanks A.J., I've sent in several inquiries and got nothing back. >>So A.J. did Red over @ McLeod finish work on the Stude to GM motor >>plate, ministarter etc??
