[Amc-list] Torque Tube manual trans...

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

On a very long shot question... in a month or so I'll be yanking
the 232 from the Classic wagon for a re-ring and all that, and
it occurs to me if someone in the So Cal area has a torque-tube
manual transmission for 63-up that is NOT! a T-96... I might
put it in.

Though I've got a nicely rebuilt M35 in there now, I hung the
clutch pedal and linkage some years back (...) which is still
flopping around in there... there's a hole in the hump for a
Hurst shifter... which is up on the shelf... flywheel here on
the floor...

Seeing how I sheared teeth off a brand-new T96 in this very
car in 1989, I'd like not to repeat that, though the OD sure
would be nice.  I even have one...

Anyone got a T89 or T86 or whatever it is in usable condition? I
like three speeds. I assume 4 speed torque tube trannies are
rare and expensive.

I wish the T96 wasn't so weak, but in a 3150 lb wagon with a
232 it would not be reliable.
