Borg-Warner worth?
Ive got a BW T-10 in a 64 Nova that I might replace for a new 5-speed and was curious as to what it might be worth.I believe its got a 2-20 first gear ratio but dont know much about transmissions so I could be wrong on that.I do know the cars got 308 gears in the rear and taking off from a stop you really have to work the clutch to get the car moving.Soon Im going to have the rearend rebuilt thinking a gear change would help but maybe not with this trans.It tachs out at about 2200 doing a little over 60.This trans was purchased new over the counter years ago and has a build date of 4-62 I believe.The trans was gone through before it went in the car and has all new bearings,seals.Had planned on replacing the syncros but wasnt needed.Heres a pictures,doesnt tell much.[IMG]

If you can post the stamping # on the case at the rear of the side cover people can tell exactly when it was made. 
My guess on a 62 T10 is $250-$750 depending on inspected condition and if you are buying or selling.

The problem with the T-10 is that the Muncie is far superior and parts availability for the Warner is somewhat limited. Most people will opt for the Super T-10 with its 26 splined input and massive 31 splined output (a la the TH 400). You can buy them new, as Richmond now owns the design, I believe.
I have rarely seen a T-10 that wasn't in need of a second and third gear replacement, either. If you need the right date code and can find good parts, there would be a need. I think the $250-$750 number is a good one. The T-10 reminds me of the T-5 Ford tranny. A relatively good box but it cannot take a lot of punishment or horsepower.
