Hebb Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hi, I just purchased a 1925 Special Six. I'm trying to educate myself and acquire the parts I need for a restoration. Can someone explain the difference in transmissions if any between the Special and the Big Six. It looks like I'm missing most of the clutch mechanism that connects tranny to motor. I found a guy in California with several Big Six trannies but are the parts the same? Any help? If any 1925 Special Six parts out there I need some. Thanks, Gary.

studeboy Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 According to the parts book4 big and special sixes from 1925 all share the same clutch and transmission parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebb Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Would you share what parts book you are using and where it can be purchased. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebb Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hi Studeboy. I just found a 1925 Stanard Six tranny, does parts book show internal parts are the same as Special Six clutch and tranny? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Sorry, the Standard Six (ER) does not share the same design as the Big Six and Special Six, for the clutch nor for transmission. Studeboy is referencing the Series 23-24-25 Illustrated Parts Manual (Book #4) (lower right book). They contain a listing of all the parts and illustrate some of the parts. Unfortunately, they are not available and a bit rare so they don't come up on eBay like the Owners Manuals do. There are a few three ring bound photocopies floating around. I'm not sure if anyone has a photocopied version for sale. I haven't seen any website listing for such...usually just word of mouth. If you have specifics usually one of us folks with a book don't mind looking them up and replying.

Gary_Ash Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Faxon Auto Literature has reprints available for the 1925-1928.5 Big and Special Sixes, as well as for most other years and models. They show the Parts Catalog, Shop Manual, and Service Bulletins for 1925. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stude Light Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Faxon does a nice job on the repros. I have their service manual for the 1920-24 Light Six. I know they don't have any of the manuals shown above reproduced and I offered them mine but never got a reply. I had assumed that since they don't have book 4 then they didn't have 1925 but I see they have 1925 and up in a different format. If you buy that I would be interested to know how detailed it is. You'll be happy with their quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
