Anyone know what saginaw this is?

Moloko · Feb 13, 2006

Well, i'm pretty sure its a saginaw. It is supposed to be from a 1977 malibu wagon. Any idea what it is for sure?

It's from a 69 or earlier and I believe it has the lowest 1st gear ratio because of the 10 spline w/ the 3 grooves. also try mortec.com for more info

Yeah, it has two shafts, so its a 3spd. Just interesting to know its not originally from the malibu.

Should be interesting with the super-low first and the 4.10 gears in my 49...

While I'm posting blather I can also add that the last manual trans Chevelle / Malibu wagons possible were very early 1975 models, and would be 2.54:1 low Saginaws (same as any 327 or 350 Sag). A 2.85:1 low was used with the sixes (last wagon use in '73) or 283 / 307 versions (guess the years

).

As posted earlier, the Vega or the odd Monza could have donated this trans.
