Default Re: Muncie 3-speed Tranny

No code there, just milling marks. The VIN is stamped on a pad located on the upper right side of the main case.

Its definitely a Muncie 3-speed as described in Al Colvin's 'Chevy by the numbers' 1965-69 book. I've heard several Muncie specialist call it a "Fat Boy". The 1st/reverse shift lever has a lower hole for the steering wheel lockout rod. This, along with the VIN, confirms that it was born in a 69 SS car. As you know, locking the steering wheel was a theft deterrent first introduced in 1969.

Seems that this unique transmission and shifter should have historical significance if nothing else.

Can anyone else chime in on this one?

Thanks for your help Kurt S.
