[FWDLK] Trannies!

[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lou, et al; does anyone know what the various gear ratios were for the 
3speed gearboxes,
both for non-and-overdrive units?

Also, what was the 'best' (least-worst) 3-speed gearbox, that was ever 
made, as far as
synchronization and/or gear ratios (good gear spacing) is concerned?

This box was almost certainly installed in a pick up or maybe a 
tractor(?) application.

Perhaps a later-model 3-speed/od transmission's internals might be able 
to be swapped
into one of our neanderthal trans cases...or just swapped-out, entirely?

With the higher standard differential ratio on non-overdrive cars, this overdrive will make for a very tall drive ratio ... perfect for these days of pricy gasoline, no?
