<VV> "Muncie" v. "Saginaw"

[Charles Lee]

Yes, we go round and round on this all the time, but I think that "Saginaw" has become the standard term for the transmission used from 1966 through 1969 Corvairs, notwithstanding the details of who made what and when?

It seems to distinguish between the 1965 transmission and all the rest that came later, 2 inches longer (requiring a different mount), and bigger, beefier and using completely different bolts for the struts, half-shafts, etc, not to mention a stronger (?) transmission (gears, case, etc) overall?

Mine too was replaced early on when my 1965 Corsa lost hers :>~}...

Others will chime in, but my understanding is that GM's Saginaw division made all the transmissions.  It is also my understanding that Muncie made a lot of the gears that went into the trannys under contract with Saginaw and other manufacturers.
