Technical Is anyone still using 4 speed transmissions?

Two of mine are the '39 and '71

 

I have a friend who has had a T10 in his SBC model A rod since the '70's. About ten years ago he adapted the O/D from a Borg Warner three speed to it. Four speeds with overdrive!

68 M20 Muncie with comp plus shifter for the 61 Laurentian bubbletop. Using this handle to clear the bench.

 

Most of mine have had T-10's but my '36 3w is going to have a N.V.G. A833.

 

I only had 3speeds. Stuck in the 50s n early 60s,wow, a 4 speed was amazing an very hard to find or get back then. Here we are asking if anyone is still using a 4speed any more,feeling old.
Even more so,I just blow first gear out of my old 57 Ford 3speed,an putting my last spair in this coming week. Always looking for y-block parts an 3s tran's.

 

3.50 first Sag with a comp plus in my 54 Chevy 6 cylinder. Had the shifter since 1968, it's been in the Chevy since 1990.

 

I have come to my senses in an effort to keep my 32 PU builds truly traditional. Out with the t5 and in with the 60s t10!
Can't wait.

Not using one yet, but a toploader 4spd is going in my next 32 5w build. It will be mated up to a wicked Y-Block.

 

I have several for sale 4 I think would have to look and I think one shifter, maybe some other stuff as well if interested send a message thanks

 

4 speed? I'm still running a 3 gear top loader

Running a '57 Vette Saginaw 3 spd. behind a 283 of the same source in my new roadster. Pretty oldtimey setup and actually pretty nice on the street. '55 rear with an Eaton posi in it. In a super light car it should be fairly decent.

 

M21 in my 57

A833 here behind a blown 331 hemi. I grew up thinking hot rods have 3 pedals and 4 speeds. So its only natural I chose to run one in my Model A project

 

An A833 in this with a Hurst and home brew stick

 

Always felt that sticks and hot rods went hand in hand. My 36 has a M20 behind the small block with 3:55 cogs, comes out of the hole real strong and is tons of fun to drive.

 

I have a 66 mustang top loader 4 speed converted to Jeep top shifter behind my 50 Ford flathead! Fits perfect in my 31 roadster. What else can you do when someone gives it to you!

 

When I got my '55 in 1970 it had a 327 with a Muncie. It still does. I thought five speeds came in farm implements.

 

I've got a wide ratio top loader in my 56 vicky

Four on the floor going in my 59 Fairlane 500. With a 390 for an engine.

 

Only my vintage motorcycle has 4-gears.

Everything else I have on the road has six.

 

My Nomad, which I bought in January of '91, has had a M20 Muncie with Hurst Competition Plus shifter for 17 years this month. Sometimes I wish I had another gear (overdrive) but most of the time I just have fun.

 

I'll give you one guess [emoji41]

In the beginning of building a 427, 4 speed, 4:11 Chevy II. Old school hot rod.

4 speed toploader behind my 351C in my 66 mustang. A Mr. Gasket shifter. A gear vendors overdrive is an option for better mileage - but they're pricey

Sag 4 speed with Warner overdrive in 53 Chevy


Freewheels under 35 , typically 4 shifts & let off the gas for highway mode & passing gear is a hoot when floored. Neat thread HRP. Flux

 

I run a Tex T-101. Flipped the 3/4 shift arm making 3rd 1:1 and 3rd is now 4th@ .82:1 overdrive.

1966 belvedere a833 daily driver. It just feels right. 3.23 but 3.55s coming soon. Starting from scratch....I would do a 5speed for "more fun" gearing and overdrive for road trips.

Depends. I have T10 Muncie and Saginaw on hand if I should have any problems.

 

I've run a Muncie 4spd behind my 327 in my daily driver 57 for years. Every now and again I get the over drive itch, put the 3spd OD back in, get tired of non synchro 1st gear in traffic and switch back to Muncie.
