texasz Posted September 23, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 23, 2009 Ok, I've searched and found some good yet slightly confusing information about identifying your transmission. On the one hand ZHome seems to indicate that I have the B type 4speed as shown here: http://www2.zhome.com:81/ZCMnL/tech/69-83TrannyShifterDrawing.jpgThen on the other hand this page seems to indicate that it could be either the B type 4speed or wide ratio 5speed: http://www.gracieland.org/cars/techtalk/gearing2.htmlIs there a better, more definitive way to determine which transmission you have since these two sources which are both referenced several times on this site seem to be inconsistent?

HS30-H Posted October 1, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 1, 2009 ...it could be either the B type 4speed or wide ratio 5speedShirley you should be able to determine whether it's a 4-speed or a 5-speed yourself?Guessing 'blind' is a bore. Take some photos of this thing, and put 'em up here. And if you really want to know what you have got, you'll need to take it apart and start counting the gear and counter gear teeth combos..........

Take some photos of this thing, and put 'em up here. And if you really want to know what you have got, you'll need to take it apart and start counting the gear and counter gear teeth combos.......... How do I tell if it's a 4 or 5 speed all by myself? Just kidding, I can get that far of course...it's determining which of the various flavors it is after that point. I'll put a stick in it and run it through the gears to see if it's a 4 or 5 speed. I should have done this before posting, my bad. While out doing that I'll shoot a pic or two of it also. Stop calling me Shirley... :-) I would never! Oh, and thanx for the help.....Shirlye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasz Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted October 2, 2009 Ok, so now I'm honestly feeling like a complete idiot...I can not seem to determine if it's a 4 or 5 speed, I'm only able to confirm 4 shift positions which I know is wrong since a 4 speed would still have 5 positions with reverse! Below are the pix, hope they help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted October 2, 2009 Share #7 Posted October 2, 2009 I think it's a 4 speed. Reverse is very hard to select when the transmission is rolling around loose on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasz Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted October 11, 2009 Only one reply after posting up pix as requested.Is the general opinion that this is a 4-speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
