Hi guys i just bought a 65gs 2dr hardtop that is a factory 4 spd car that is basically a rolling project with motor and bellhousing still in the car but the 4spd and shifter and shift linkage gone. I am looking for the 4 spd to complete the driveline and would love a correct trans or something close to correct I believe it was a T-10? thanks mike. nailheadpoweredgs@sbcglobal.net
You just missed one on ebay last week Click Here! I'm working on the same project, although the engine and trannie were gone. I have extras... but will probably use a 67 Muncie for the transmission. you are doing well with that bellhousing there still! Ted :TU:
Looks like the one on Ebay never sold so you could contact him and see if its gonna be relisted or not,if I was not concerned about originality I would use a Muncie anyway as in my opinion they are a much superior tranny than the t10 Borg,goodluck finding one though.Any Muncie will fit but you probably want one with a early course spline input and 27 output so you can use an original clutch and drive shaft.Also I would use a Hurst competition shifter as they are a much better shifter than the original setup.
Here's an article I think you will find of interest on putting a Hurst in a '66 with a T10. I imagine it will be similar if not the same. Muncie's seem to be pretty easy to find. It's all a matter of how much you want to spend. But then, what isn't. http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/116_0111_shift/
Here's a shifter for you...Doesn't say if it's for a T10 or muncie or if it will work for a 65...It looks correct for a 65 :Brow: :TU: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1966...2266365QQcategoryZ33736QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem no shortage of muncie's or T10's http://motors.search.ebay.com/munci...QQsaspiZ500QQsspagenameZSTRKQ3aMEFSRCHQ3aSRCH
thanks special wagon65 I contacted the seller from the ebay auction and bought the gs 4spd trans so know all i need is the shifter and linkage.
okay i have the trans and the shifter handle now i just need the linkage and part that the handle mounts to.
Just to set the record a little straighter....The T-10 used in the '65 and '66 GS's was arguably the best of them all. It used nickle steel gears and was virtually indestructible. The Corvette guys love to get them for their innards...Dan
T-10 indestructible Broke my t-10 from my 65 GS in three pieces, Casing/ pilot shaft and the yoke section :3gears: the frame was bad and I put new u-joints and then went out and power shifted the car. BANG big BANG driveshaft/mufflers what a mess ! :ball: I was at the age of just getting over young and dumb :laugh: unforunately I don't know if I'll ever get over dumb? :laugh: Moz
65 Shifter & Linkage Mark, I can't seem to get the link to work for that ebay shifter. uzzled: Does it look like this? o No:
Robert, still available, 'only' $375 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...sPageName=MERC_VIC_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT This shifter is for a 66-67 and mounts to the crossmember. The 65 shifter bolted directly to the trans.... The shifter in your pic looks like a Hurst?
uzzled: here's another one :bglasses: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/65-6...8057723305QQcategoryZ6763QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
