Just wondered if anyone knows what model number tranny this is. Was told it is a .70 O/d or .75 o/d. It sure did drop the rpm of that big block going into 5th. Also has a weird shift pattern. reverse is all the way to the left and up, straight down is 1st, Up and middle is 2nd, straight down from second is 3rd, to the right and down from third is 4th and straight up from 4th is 5th. 1st is also a granny gear. Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks

It sounds like a Spicer shift pattern to me. A Spicer would be around .80 OD. An Eaton would really be too new to behind a 427. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy lunchbox, I'm with crenwelge on this one, it could be a Spicer 3152, with O.D. the shift pattern changes to the one you describe, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 1,453 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 1,453 | The weird shirt pattern is an easy way to spot the O.D. from the direct drive spicers.
