Restoring my french L30M20 i have removed engine and gear box.
I would like to kjow if the saginaw cast iron gearbox were factory painted ?
To my knowledge no paint. But others may disagree. I am going off what I have seen out in the wild.
I have never seen one painted. A friend of mine was the original owner....on hers...no paint.
I do not believe the Saginaw M20 was painted. My car has been in the family since 1970 and is completely original. I will check in the next few days to confirm.
Ok'thanks you guys....
After cleaning, i don't see any trace of paint on the saginaw casing ,just some orange on the clutch bell ,
