Avanti Transmissions!

[mfg]

The Stude Avanti three speed and four speed standard transmissions share the same main case…. with reverse gear located in the extension housing on the four speed……..True?

False. For some reason Avantis used a T-86 threes speed rather than the T-85. The T85 is what became the T-10 with the reverse moved into the tail housing.

False is correct…. and I agree that the t-86 was heavily taxed behind an R1 if the driver drove ‘sportily’!!
