1927Chevy Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hey Met with Robert Kapteyn at his warehouse filled with Studebaker and Packard parts. Great man great warehouse. German Dutch like myself. Did not have my cluster gear for my 23 so onward and upward. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1927Chevy Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Would a Stude trans from 1925 work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 In 1925 the EP Big Six went to an engine mounted transmission. Nothing interchanges with the previous style, so to answer your question.....no. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1927Chevy Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Update: will have to put this project on hold until I find another transmission in the mean time will start in second gear. Do not drive it that much anyway. My 20 ton floor press is on the way so I can play with breaking down the cluster gear. When I return to Chicago will look into getting a gear made.

1927Chevy Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks !! Have asked for a pic of inside with focus on condition of first gear and advice that the gears have all their teeth. Already have 2 with bad 1st gears. in the meantime will drive it occasionally starting in second gear. As somone already mentioned 1st gear is kinda for pulling tree stumps. A machine shop in Chicago told me they are ready to make it, just gotta get over there. Got my 20 ton press delivered last week and should get a large bearing splitter clamp for press plates Monday. At that point and after dropping some branches on some trees in the yard will take the cluster gear apart. Who knows might get this trans and rebuild the other for fun. wishing and hoping Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1927Chevy Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 took the Stude for a ride today. seems the shifter needs adjustment but all seems very nice transmission shifts nice and does not make noise. having four shifters i picked the nice looking one rather than the one that was on the trans, will remove Wednesday and replace with the one it came with.
