DFeeney Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Hello My Studebaker friends. I am looking for a 1922 Studebaker Big 6 transmission to use as a spare. What have you? Think Spring. Don in central Ohio 740-816-4284 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 You should post pics and casting numbers from yours. Its hard to know from what year the transmissions we might have sitting around could be. Unless someone is s super super expert they might have one but not know it. There are a few out there but not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I am pretty sure I have a spare 22 trans but I would only let it go in exchange for a spare 21 trans. My spare has good main shaft components but worn secondary shaft components as they have already been traded out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrassi Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hi Don - I have several transmissions (none are the same style case as my '24 Special six so they must of been making revisions or changing suppliers). Three have dates and one is possibly older. I plant to keep the one dated '23 but the others would be available (not sure if they fit Big 6 - as Linus stated we would need to verify the casting numbers). Let me know what you think. thanks Tony Central PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Tony, that trans on the let with the lock sticking up is very similar to my 21. I suspect not correct for the 22 that don has, I would like to buy it if possible. What is your asking price? And lets compare the casting numbers.

Henry Holt Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! I also NEED a trans for my car. It would not be a spare, it would go in. Can we work something out? Thank you Henry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Henry, what year is yours? My 21 is almost not drivable due to the trans. I have had it apart and am going to take it back out again but I need pieces. Linus Edited April 3 by Linus Tremaine (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Holt Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I have a 1919 EH with no trans, I also need a windshield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 we need a parts book to determine what your car would have had in it. There are so many changes to the transmissions in those years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studeboy Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The 1919 to 1921 EG and EH took the same transmission case part # 31889. 1922 to 24 EK and EL took case # 100700. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Holt Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Studeboy, Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeboy Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 There were a number of different transmissions fitted into the same case. They had different gearing ratios. There were lots of options from 3.7 to 1 up to 5 to 1. They all take the same case so ought to fit any of the cars. Internals are different depending on the gear ratio in the transmission. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeboy Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The earlier transmissions/ pre 1922 had a sliding gear transmission lock. The difference in ratios according to the parts book are all in the high and intermediate sliding gears. The low and reverse sliding gears are part number 31919 for both transmission cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 thats what we needed to know, thank you. L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrassi Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 For the older transmission, I've attached a close up of the case #, and also took the top off. Did not clean and fully inspect, but I didn't see any teeth missing or severe chips -of course everything looks good with 100 year oil turned to grease on it! thanks Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Holt Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 What are you asking for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 This looks like the same casting number as mine which is 31890. That number is not one that studeboy listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stude Light Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 The 31889 part number included the plugs in the case. Bohn (aluminum casting supplier) would have only provided the case to Studebaker so that 31890 part number cast into the case was probably only referenced between Studebaker and Bohn. The parts book only includes the case with the drain and fill plugs and not the bare case so the info that @studeboy provided should be what you need.

studeboy Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I am uploading the pages from the 1919 to 1922 parts book. Hard to get some in the fold. This should have value as it gives all the timken bearing and cup numbers if you need to rebuild one of these transmissions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Here is my spare transmission which I believe is 1922 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Tremaine Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I think a reasonable solution here would be: I sell my 22 trans to Don I buy tonys early box Henry Buys the remaining as he is happy to fit whatever transmission he can get. l Alternatively, I need the main shaft and gears from an early trans and henry has most of an early trans so we could share that one since I think henry already has the parts that I need in his incomplete unit.

Stude Light Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 7 hours ago, Linus Tremaine said: Here is my spare transmission which I believe is 1922 1922 makes sense as that is when the housing part number changed to the 6 digit format. Again, the housing only part number is not captured in the Studebaker part manual (only the housing with plugs is shown) so the 100134 number was probably just a Studebaker/Bohn reference number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
