I have a 1957 Chevrolet 210 with 350 2WD 

Question:  Switching out my 3 speed to a 4 speed Saginaw using Summit Racing 700000 universal Kit. (Transmission not installed came out of a pre 60s car.) The reverse control shaft diagram shows neutral in the front position but only with this being in reverse position to the front, am I able to shift thru all the gears. Did some Saginaw have reverse towards the driver?Answer:This is all dependent on the shifter assembly itself. All of the Saginaw transmissions are the same.  You can see the part we supply for the Saginaw transmission on our site.
