I have a buddy building an OT Chevy pickup that he drove when we were in high school. He has a Saginaw out of a big block powered car from the mid to late 60’s. He called last night asking if I had any kind of illustrated parts breakdown or exploded view of the transmission. Anyone have anything like this? I have a lot of Motors Manuals, but nothing that really breaks it down like he wants.
and I have shop manuals that probably cover it more, but would have to scan them. http://www.gmpartswiki.com/getpage?pageid=11410 is where I found this, although it took a few minutes to figure out how to do it.
That trans would be a 2:54 first in the last year of the 60’s Chevelle and only time a Sag made it behind a BB from the factory.
Ok went to the garage and pulled my book that I bought in high school and got **** from the others with thing’s like “what?, don’t know how to work on cars”.
This won't help with the org posters question but an "explosion story" none the less. Earl Guttenfelder (RIP) rebuilt a bunch of Saginaws back "in the day". The best story I heard, regarded Earl, with a car load of guys, a 396 Chevelle, a Saginaw and what was supposed to be a quick quarter mile dance Evidently he forgot? to take it out of reverse, on the hole shot the transmission dis***embled itself Earl was pretty talented mechanically but....maybe wasn't quite as careful that time than he should have been. Wish he was still around.
I have motor manuals at home but it will be next week before I get back home if you haven’t already found what your looking for I can scan my manual and I have an exploded one as well the one in the pic above looks good compared to mine most of the pieces were swept up at Byron dragway a few years ago when I had the Willys pickup there and match raced the hairy hauler Willys
They are ok trans , but someone beat me to it , I saw one exploded view on one , looked like a hand grenade blew up to me .
Keep in mind that Muncie’s widest ratio was only 2:56 unlike a Saginaw that went all the way to 3:50. Torque multiplication is the killer here.
I went scrounging through my old manuals. I found a pretty decent section in my 1970 Motors manual that should be what he needs. Thanks guys. I'll p*** on what you posted also.
Here’s one of two. http://www.boxngeartransmissions.com/ I’ll get the second one when I return to my business cards. Both I’ve purchased manual parts from.
