    64 Sunbeam model IV Transmission Parts Needed

    Hi All; I need a part for the transmission on my 64 Alpine IV. Looking at the pictures - I'm not working on it - the spline that holds the gears is twisted. This has made the car kick out of 4th gear while driving. Pictures are attached. Let me know if you have it and how much. I think the...
