66 Transmission Questions

[sackracing]

I'm a dumbass, reverse is to driver and down.

I do not want to steal the thread but mine is to driver and up. Since the topic is 66 transmission, any one know what mine is as well?

Thanks.

Is it a 3 speed or a 4 speed? It sounds like a car 4 speed trans. I'm not sure about a Saginaw 4 speed, but with a Muncie or a BW T10, reverse is to the left and forward.

Thanks Captainfab. It's a 4 speed and I'd love it to be a Muncie but PO said it was a Saginaw. Just trying to confirm and it seems that shift pattern alone will not tell the whole story.

If the trans is cast iron and has all 3 shift levers on the side cover, then it is likely a Saginaw 4 speed. It has been so long since I have driven a Saginaw 4 speed, I just could not remember for sure where reverse was.
