This is a bit off topic, but it did come out of an old camaro---I have a '63 dated T-10. It's been out of a car for about 10 years, sitting in the barn. In reverse, you can turn the input shaft, and the other end turns the opposite direction. Put it in a forward gear---it goes about three complete turns and stops. Turn the other way, same thing. There's no oil in it by now; does that have something to do with it, or does it sound like it's junk?

 

junk/needs a rebuild but i don't think they made t10's in 63 i thought those were all muncies is the case aluminum??

 

This is a T-10; main case is marked T10D-1, tail is T-10D-7, and so on. Has a big bowtie cast into the case. All the parts are dated late '62/early '63, and the entire case, even the sideplate, is aluminum. According to what I've found online, the all aluminum T-10's from that period went either into vettes or full size cars with 409's. I guess it's worth keeping and rebuilding.

 

I WOULD NOT touch the inside of that transmission if I was you.

Put it in Hemmings or the like, and sell it to somebody that wants an ORIGINAL transmission. There's plenty of people that will pay ASTRNOMICAL amounts for THE RIGHT trans for their "collectible" car.

If you dink with it, you will only succeed in reducing its value to that type of buyer. They'll want to pay gigabucks to their own "mechanic" to "go through" it for them (their approach to their hobby and their choice of words, not mine), and will consider it ruined if some shadetree hack (speaking strictly for myself) has their left greasy fingerprints in it.
