Early Fiat 600d 600 D 8/39 (4.88) Transmission on 2040-parts.com

  Good used complete transmission for early Fiat 600D (1960-61 if I recall correctly?). This trans has the 8/39 (4.88:1) final drive common to the Sedan models, & is also a very desirable conversion unit for the 600D Multipla for more relaxed highway driving (ie: better top-end speed per rpm's). While it features the early 6-spline input shaft, this trans can be used in a later-model 600D Sedan or Multipla by simply using the early 600/600D 6-spline style clutch disc. If you want to install this in a 600 (not D) Sedan or Multipla, you will not have a parking brake unless you convert your car to use 600D rear A-arms, brakes, etc. (the earlier 600 trans had a parking brake drum on the front/nose of the trans itself).

  A little history of this item: This transmission came installed in a Fiat 600 project car I bought many years ago, but I replaced it with a different (Abarth 750) transmission instead, so I don't need this one. The previous owner had converted my early 600 car to use the 600D trans & 600D rear A-arms (with the wheel-mounted parking brake), but I have converted the car back to original parts. He told me at the time that he had gone through the trans replacing any severely-worn parts with new or good-used items, run the trans in another 600D (beater) he had, then once satisfied with its overall condition, he removed it to install into the car I later bought (he had other drivetrain plans for his other car). The trans was already installed when I bought the car, though everything was not completely connected (axles, cables, engine, etc.) & he had not refilled the trans with gear oil (because the axles & boots were not installed yet). I had no issues with that because, after all, it was an unfinished project car when I bought it.

  Since I have not personally run this trans, I can only measure its condition by what the seller told me & by visual appearance of the trans itself. It looks to be in overall good clean condition, though I would suggest buying a gasket set for it (about $20-$35 from a few vendors) as it currently doesn't have any case gaskets on it (I noticed this when I pulled the bellhousing off in order to check the final drive ratio - it would appear that the previous owner preferred clean mating surfaces with just a light film of RTV/sealant between them which, judging by the ever-so-slight seepage on the outside of the case joints, was only about 99% sufficient).

  Includes the lower mounting cradle (crossmember) with 2 new mounting bushings, clutch throwout bearing w/retainer clip, clutch cable return spring, outer axle boot retainer plates & speedo cable drive unit, as shown.
