Help identifying a 3spd transmission
Posted by 2258019 On 2022/9/29 23:35:27
Hello all!
I need the help of Packard experts. I have recently inherited my father's hotrod, a 1934 Chevrolet Coupe. It is entirely composed of farm finds, bits from this car, parts from that truck etc. He build it in the late 1950s and raced it actively until the mid/late 60s. It was his first car, the car my parents were married in, and the family's only car until 1975.
I have been trying to take over the maintenance of the vehicle...my father was not one for upkeep or leaving behind records. Everything on the car leaks, and from every possible spot. I'd like to patch it up, but I am struggling greatly to identify what it is made of so that I can buy the appropriate seals etc.
I believe the transmission is a Packard 3 speed unit. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find marks on the transmission, or how to tell them apart. I'm hoping you folks, being the experts, may be able to steer me in the right direction.
Any help, suggestions, information etc that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. It has traditional Chevrolet 3 speed pattern where reverse is top left, 1st is bottom left, 2nd is top right and 3rd is bottom right. This led me to believe it was some version of a Chevrolet Saginaw? I chased that lead for several weeks never knowing it wasn't a Chevrolet unit. In researching top loader 3 speeds, I stumbled upon a Packard link. I think its conclusively Packard...but that was where the trail went cold.
