I have a leaky gearbox that I don't want to rebuild myself and want to know if anybody can tell me (in general) if similar/same gearbox was used in previous or later years. Reason being is that I've seen rebuilt ready to go boxes for other close years, but none listed for 1962 specifically. So im not sure whether I should even consider spending time researching possible compatibility, or am i barking up the wrong tree even thinking this way. I appreciate any info!

 

The steering boxes are unique to the 1961-63 Y-body cars. Only the 61-63 F-85/Cutlass/Skylark/Special are the same. I don't believe Tempest is the same and Corvair definitely is not.

 

Thanks for the info! Sounds like I will just pull it and send it off to Powersteering.com (I'm not spamming, I promise!). I contacted them in the past and he can speed up the ratio while rebuilding too which I think will give it a little more responsiveness but keep the old-school vibe.
