Guys I hate to interject in a very old COPO thread but as the 63 SD Tempest were mentioned I can give some info on the transaxle.The unit used a 2 speed Tempest TQ trans with a 2 speed planetary (spelling) bolted to it giving it a 4 speed manual Auto trans.No TQ converter.The car had a clutch with the unit mounted in the rear with a hyd bearing.They launced to car with the clutch and just shifted each gear with a console mounted shifter.Tom

Thnaks,I bought that unit to put in my 63 Lemans and found out it has no differential!The jack shafts go thru the case so a basic spool.I knew dragging that 7 in R&P would not live long.I sold it to the guy that bought Bill Blairs real SD Tempest mule.The silver one.He has not put it in but is planning on doing it.Tom
