These are a few photos of the late 60's 3 speed Saginaw overdrive tranny I got off Ebay with shipping help from Ken Brown to get it here to NY from Washington State.
I disassembled the tranny, replaced the seals, all bearings and the brass syncro rings, the gears were all in nice shape. The OD controls, governor and solenoid, needed a clean up ,but work as they should.The shifter is an old Hurst, modified to fit,reworked the shifter rods and made a mounting bracket. Same with with the hand brake, drilled and tapped the case, welded up a bracket from scrap steel.
With 3.36 gears, my 37 Chevy pu's 261 engine was getting busy at 65 MPH and 2600 rpm.The OD will drop the revs 30 percent, to 1800 at 65, much nicer.
