4 speed conversion

I agree...I just sent Brent an email asking where he got the info or if it was just a typo or mistake. I'll let you know his reply if he does.

 

There is a guy on this message board who has a Mexican Maverick with a 4 speed.

 

The page has SO MUCH detail...
He lists the trannys available, then goes so far to list all the gear ratios of the trannys.
However, he only lists the ratios for the 3 speed, no 4 speed ratios.

I have no idea where and when 4 speeds were offered, but the one in Mexico has had decades to be converted from a 3 speed.
The day you bought a 3 speed Maverick, you could have bought a 4 speed over the parts counter and had it stabbed in by that night... Easy swap.
Much easier to believe that was done than factory installed.

I had a 4 speed maverick that I sold about 5 years ago.. it was odd too.. the reverse was where first was.. but this was beat up with no power steering.. sold it for $500

 

Thats normal. At least, that's how my truck is.

 

I can tell you as a person who ordered his car new, and I persisted on getting a 4 speed that they were not available in our cars in the USA. Brent Mulvaney has some factory salesman order materials that claim the option. None were produced.

odd.. then I guess I had one that wasnt real? mine was a 4speed I6 with no power steering - think maybe a 75.. oh well

 

Was 4th Gear OD ... if it was then you probably had a Granada tranny in there ...

 

Well, reverse is a speed.

 

Which is the one you might as well use when I see you at Round-Up this year!

 

oh oh

 

Roundup is getting near,, it is starting

 

round up??

 

Roundup is the Maverick Comet Club International's annual get together. This year once again being held in Owensboro KY. We have drag racing, and just lots of good fellowship. It is a chance for all MCCI members to get together and hang. For some of us it is a 5 day event, but for most it is 3 days or less.
