Transmission / Overdrive: First gear start valve body for sale

[Bob Andrews]

I have an NOS first gear start valve body that I bought several years ago and never used, which I am putting up for sale. I do not remember who sold it to me, or what I paid for it. Would like some guidance if you would with the purpose of finding it a new home. I have pictures in my phone that I could send if that helps. Thank you in advance.

Hi Bob, is there ANY chance you have the Bag or Box for a Studebaker Part Number?
There are Early, Late, 6 Cyl. and V8 Truck Type.

I learned the hard way that a first gear start valve body from a 59 will not work in a 63 transmission.

I wonder specifically just what vehicles these items will fit assuming that the unit(s) were purchased from SASCO back in 2005??? These were the re-worked ones that were sold by Dennis Lambert...

No, Rich, it didn’t come with any paper or wrapping, just padded up in a priority mail box, which also is long gone. I do know that all of my Studebaker automatics have been V8, 62 through 64, so I’m sure I would have taken that into consideration at the time.

Thanks you guys for your comments. I don’t want to stick anybody. It’s on me for not keeping better track of it. Might be better to just toss it. We will see.

How do you identify those 1st gear start valve bodies? I have a truck tranny that might have one.

[StudeNewby]

Bob, I don't need it as I don't even own an automatic at this time, but if I did, I would want the first gear start. If you figure out a price for it, lemme know!

It DOES!

What transmission was this designed to fit? DG200, DG250?

i’m sorry, I just plain do not know, and I don’t know how to tell, hence this post. I am assuming that I bought it for a V-8 lark, so whatever that is, is my best guess.

I believe that it is for a much later transmission and DG250Ms originally came with first gear start.
