George Albright Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 For Sale. A Cadillac transmission removed in the 1960s from a restored 1931 Cadillac V8 that was rolled,totaled,and parted out. Former owner bought this trans from the wreck as a backup spare for his fully restored 1931 Cadillac V8 at the time. He sold that car long ago but kept the trans. I am told this is the first year of the Cadillac sychro trans. Thus it is a valuable piece for 1930s and 1940s hot rodders to put behind their Ford Model A and V8 engines. According to the vintage Hollendar Exchange Manuals this single model of trans was used in 1930 and 1931 Cadillac and LaSalle V8 V12 and V16 models. Thus it is very rare and desirable.(see below). Condition inside unknown other than was represented by former owner. See photos. Always stored in garage since 1960s. Currently stored in Napa. Calif. I can assist with shipping anywhere in the USA thru www.Uship.coom which I use frequently. Cost of shipping and crating if necessary is born by the buyer. Price for trans. is $1,500. Please share with your Cadillac,LaSalle,and hot rod friends. George Albright,Ocala,Fla. cell 352 843 1624 from 10 AM to 4 PM EST best.

George Albright Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Price reduced from $1,500 to $890.00 or offers. Must pickup in California or arrange shipping on www.uship.com Please see attached page from a vintage Hollander interchange manual.Go to trans. T -189 on the page to see what it fits. Looks like it may also fit 1929 and 1930 Cadillac V8s and LaSalle V8s of same years in addition to 1931-33.It appears this trans. fits V8s and V12s only, not V16s even though that's what it says in the Hollander. I have been told V16 trans are different. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
