Liberty gearbox circa mid 70's??

[crash]

The gear set pictured is Doug Nash stuff, the Pro-rings are part of the original gear blank, Liberty welded their Pro-rings into place...

I have a bunch of this stuff, I'll try to take some pictures of both... Crash

Good eye Crash.... I have a Doug Nash and Yes, Doug Nash Gear set,lugs, Sliders and YES a 2:52 Ratio M22 . They had 4 ? ratios in 73/74 , 2:20 , 2:52 , 2:64 &amp; 2:88 if memory serves correct.(the 2:88's were extremely expensive and primarily used in M/P Small inch small blocks that launched &amp; shifted ,11,000-12,000 RPM ranges.

Cool... I never knew they were making other ratios that 2.20 with the M22 helical angle back then.

Correction on the Doug Nash M22 Gear Ratios :
as of 1974 they offered: 9310 Nickel Alloy Steel specially heat treated in :
2:52 - 2:70. - 2:95 gear sets &amp; Cast iron case.....any one Have a Case ??

The first pictures show complete Nash gear sets on a main shaft just as it came out of a trans, notice the first gears, one is stock Muncie, the other is a Pro-shift Nash gear...

From what I understand Nash made 2 production runs of cast iron main cases, small print first, then large print...

Input gears L-to-R N.O.S. M-22, Nash w/original Pro-ring, Nash w/re-placement Pro-ring...

More pictures coming... Crash

**** Crash, those pics would be great to see. Do you have any paper work, catalog material or decals related to Doug Nash muncies ? I could sure use some.....and spare parts.
Liberty's still makes some stuff or will set up to make a run. (last year they custom made me new sliders while doing the Contract for the Indy Racing League Indy 500 transmissions &amp; drivetrain pieces)
I do have an issue of Popular Hot Rodding , August '74 with a Nash feature on Pro-Shifted M22's &amp; M21's

Thanks, Tom

I believe in those days Liberty made the gear set to convert stock transmissions like Nash and also Trans End in NJ. did. I believe my buddy ran a clutchless 5 speed with Liberty gears meaning you came out with the clutch and then did not need it for the gear changes. That was NHRA Modified Eliminator of the 70's early 80's.

Crash,


Thanks for the info. Are you saying these gears are all aftermarket pieces, not GM parts that have been modified?


Thanks,

Definitely &quot;Crash Boxes&quot;

Great stuff...now I got a source besides Joe Liberty.

Thanks, Crash. !
