Saginaw Driven Gears
So I was doing more stuff to my truck after work today and deceided to take a look at my inop speedo. To eliminate everything but the trans i intended to remove the cable from the trans, chuck it in a drill and spin it. When I pulled out the cable the stalk of the driven gear was still on the cable and the gear itself was still in there. My question: Did something else cause this or is it well known that they break like this? I don't wanna order one without solving the cause first. BTW, it looked white. I saw that there is white, yellow and grey options and look like they might be confused as they age. I will recheck the color before ordering I just wanted to see if anyone had any input. Its a 3 speed Saginaw.

Re: Saginaw Driven Gears
Here is a link to a thread I had posted earlier about pretty much the same thing. I still haven't fixed mine yet. Hopefully with your thread we can get some more exposure.
Good Luck, Keith http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=477363 |

Re: Saginaw Driven Gears
I'm sure we'll get it fixed! My trans is leaking to but I'm at square one. My tailshaft seal is leaking as well as other stuff. Not sure what right now because the crud is caked on and I'm slowly trying to clean it up.
BTW, while on transmissions, I tightened every nut on the El Cheapo floor shifter and what a difference!!! Eliminated two inches from every shift, every gear is positive and I know exactly where neutral is every time!!! This is one of the reasons I bought my truck..to tinker. I love making improvements no matter how big or how small they are!!
