57 special Manual gear box

My 57 Buick Special manual gearbox has to be replaced, what will fit it? Any suggestions

 

NOTHING will be a bolt-in swap. Although Oldsmobile & Pontiac used the same 6 bolt top cover selector type trans. Yours will have to be removed & rebuilt/repaired.

 

Thanks, I thought that would be the answer

 

Thanks guys

 

Dennis at DME in Kentucky can rebuild it. He may have the NOS parts.

Thank you so much, will give him a call.

 

OR -- I have a rebuilder out here in Long Island, New York....

 

The difference between the Olds/Pontiac transmission and the Buick box is the torque tube. You could use an Olds or Pontiac transmission, but the extension housing and output shaft will have to come from the Buick transmission. BTW: That transmission is quite rugged. Like the Olds and Pontiac "selector" boxes, it will not tolerate speed shifting. With normal shifting, those boxes will normally last pretty much forever.

 

Thank you

 

Hey guys, what front end can I put under this Buick? Hopefully one that I can get parts far, I am new at this and I am not a mechanic

 

Jag front & rear. Need fab & welding skills.
