Re: [Amc-list] 4-Speed Wagon?

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Richard, it would be possible to use the parts from any 67+ 
Rebel/Matador/Ambassador to put a four speed in your 75 Matador wagon. 
The only problem is finding a four speed that would work. An AMC T-10 
setup would very likely cost a lot more than the $650 to rebuild the 
auto. Then there's all the work changing things over. If money is the 
main issue, rebuild the auto. It will be loads chaper in the long run, 
and a good rebuild should last another 100K miles/30+ years, provided 
the car's maintained (which for an auto means driving occasionally, not 
left sitting for months). A late model Ford top loader might bolt up to 
a late 60s/early 70s big car three speed bell, but you'll still end up 
with $600 or so in it plus the work.
