So, Im picking up a free gyromatic transmission from a '52 Dodge this evening. Owner says the throw out bearing is bad, but otherwise it works fine. Is there anything I should check on it? Should I try to get the shifter also? Dont have anything to put it in, but Im getting it for driving up to pickup an engine from the same car for a friend. Figured maybe Id teach myself to fix up transmissions with it. Are these things worth anything?
If it has a floor shifter grab it. But for other that a stock replacement that trans is basicaly worth s**** price.
LOL! And that's the really important thing, isn't it??? But you're right of course. It's almost as cool a name as "Ultra-Matic".
Yeah it's too bad they're better known by their nickname, which is Clunk-O-Matic. Ive got a couple of them I can't get rid of. Too bad too, since I have the su****ion they're in pretty good condition.
