Saginaw trans help, any trans guys out there??

[475_enduro]

I've got a 3 speed saginaw trans that has been sitting outside, and looks pretty crappy on the inside, but i was thinking about tearing it down and seeing what is still useable, and i also have a 4 sp saginaw thats in really good shape, all internals are really nice. I want to rebuild a 3 speed for a spare because thats what i run in my car. My question is, are there many of the parts between a 3 sp and 4 sp that are interchangable? I was thinking about tearing them both down, and whatevers interchangeable useing the good parts from the 4 sp to put in the 3 sp. Also, if anyone has any tips, tricks or advice on rebuilding a saginaw it would be much appreciated. Thanks
