Around here if it ain't NASCAR or ACC Basketball it ain't on the radar screen.  What cars came with these when they were new? I think if I said I was looking for a 4-speed out of a certain car I'd have better luck. I want the 3:11 low / 2 groove version. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 275 | Try here http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/SaleSearch?from=R10&satitle=saginaw+transmission&sojs=1&sotr=2&from=R9&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSRCH:SRCH
These things are all 30 to 40 years old & you may not find them in your local yard anymore.

I found one in a Vega once. I've seen them in Chevelles and Impalas.

Where is he located? Does he offer any warranty? What's a good price? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 | He is located in Indiana, and with the bellhousing it was around $300.. I bought this about 1 years ago. Jim told me to install it into my truck and if anything is wrong within 30 days he would make it good. I have not installed mine yet but I do keep in touch with him.

Was yours an AS-IS unit or was it rebuilt? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 | It was Is-is but with a 30 day warr.
Jim seems like a stand up guy, because he had my visa card and nothing was ever charged to me until I got the tranny that I wanted and I called him back to say go ahead and charge my card. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 | That's a good sign... thanks! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 | Hope you find what you need, If not he always gets them in.
