47-59 1957 Chevy truck 3 speed transmission - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am trying to keep the original 235 motor and 3 speed transmission in my truck. I have the transmission torn down and am looking for some parts. The transmission is the 4 side bolt model. I need the counter shaft and the counter shaft gear cluster. The gear count on the cluster is 27-14-22. Point me to where I can find these. Thanks

I edited your post as you cannot ask for WTB parts without being a premium member.

These guys might have parts or know where to get them.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll look them up

I didn't see any on Ebay a minute ago but I would do a search on Ebay. Make the search pretty generic such as GM 3 speed cluster gear, GM cluster gear or Chevrolet cluster gear.

That will take some sorting though the listings but you most likely aren't going to find one with a specific listing.

I found this with a search for Chevrolet 3 speed cluster gear https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-3...8AAOSwsxxgSVjo

If it is the Muncie transmission This should be the counter shaft https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-WT242-3...MAAOSwUSleqbNt

Thanks. It looks, gear tooth count, like what I need. It wasn’t coming up on my searches. Now hopefully win the bid

I'd ask for an exact tooth count and maybe some better photos.

I've found over the years that you quite often have to use a very generic and basic term in your search and go from there.

Thanks a lot mr48chev for the help. I now have a line on a gear cluster with the correct teeth.
