Title: 4 Speed front bearing retainer
Post by: gs spoken here on February 10, 2015, 06:47:46 PM: Anyone have there 4 speed out of a 65/6 GS that could measure the front bearing retainer? As you can see in the pictures mine has been repaired. I was looking for a new one, and a trans guy said he had one but it is shorter. He thought someone had made mine longer or mine was of a Ford. The overall length of mine is 3 3/4" and the number is T10A-6A. If I had not taken my retainer along I would have bought one more part that does not fit. Thanks Bill.
