After my step father died last year I became the owner of soem car parts he had stored in his shed. This week I finally drug home the tranny I found out there thinking it was a Muncie:hurray:. Looks like it is a Saginaw :sad:

Where Can I find any informaiton about Saginaw trannies? I have the numbers off of it but would like to know more about it. I had plans on putting it in the Chevelle this winter until I learned it was not a Muncie.

Thanks,

Bob

Post your numbers.

On the left side of the case it has GM 11 3952641
481

On the left side of tail shaft is three numbers and i can't make out the first one but the other two are 84

On the right side of the case is

GM
3925656

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:yes:

See if you can get the application code -on the lower right side of the case next to the rear cover.

The Saginaw case is cast iron while the Muncie is aluminum.

On the right side near the where the tail housing bolts on there are C13 1
Above that is what appears to be NF formed together with C1

 

[Mike]

It'll be a stamped code -looking like R8A10.
Also ,see how many grooves are on the input shaft.
Chris ,it's a Saginaw by the case casting number ,just trying to determine year/etc.

I found another number stamped into a pad on the lower right side near the tail houing. It had more numbers than what you mentioned but it is the only one I can find and it is the only one stamped in. It is 24N146952.

Thanks,

Look here

From your casting numbers it could be a 68 or 69 camaro saginaw. But, you need the transmission code off that pad to know for sure.

Ok I think I 've got it. The number on the pad like inthe picture is R4D01. Hope that helps. Also would you suggest using it for a 72 Chevelle or look for a Muncie?

Thanks,

R=saginaw

4= is the model year 74?

d= april

01= 1st day of the month

As far as using it for your velle, I assume you have an auto now. It's free, it's not that valuable, and it's a 4 speed. You can always upgrade later, the hard part will be done. I'd run it till it grenades and save up for a better tranny untill then.
