Received the production record on our GT Hawk today and pleased to say it confirms the VIN and JT engine numbers. It shows the car was an Opt.20 Auto Floor Shift, although it now has a NOS 4 spd and 4:10 TT axle in it..
We have decided to switch back to the Studebaker powershift trans and a lower rear axle as it was built. (now my wife can drive it)
I have access to a 63/64 Avanti trans and need to know what problems if any there are in transplanting it into the Hawk.
I would be interested if anyone has a Hawk tunnel tower and shifter assembly for sale as well.
Also, can anyone comment on a modification to the tranny that will allow 1st gear starts, or is that only on a FOM ?
Tks,
Barry
