Trasco transmission rarity?

[Doug424]

Just wondering if anyone knows how many Trasco setups were made and how common they are nowdays? Has anyone seen any for sale anywhere, and how much would someone expect to have to pay for one? I haven't seen one offered on ebay for a long time either. I know theres a seperate section for the aux. transmissions, but thought it might be more noticed here in the general HG/OC-3 discussion page.

They are somewhat rare but do show up occasionally. From Zimmermans a complete refurbished package is around $1500.00. A rebuildable unit can be about $600.-$800. When I last talked with Zimmermans about these they indicated that they where in the process of having some bell housing adapters cast. The Model A transmissions are readily available but you would need to have an input shaft made. Zimmermans might even be having these made, just don't know where they are with this.
