Re: 72 Saginaw 3 speed Speedo Drive gear?
Your motor rpm will drop by 18% with the gear change.
For arguments sake lets say you installed a typical OD transmission.
You typically get a lower first gear that helps get you moving.
You get double the 18% percentage drop in overdrive. (35%)
If you add the cost of ring and pinion and possible a carrier change.
Then add the labor and compare it to the benefits of an OD.
Your budget and mechanical skills will give you an answer.
Cheers.
