4 speed ka-booom !

That # ,I think is a part of the VIN that the tranny came out of.
The 9 would indicate year 1969, and the B would be Hamtrack. The rest would be the sequence number that would be a part of the serial number, that would also be found on the engine, the tranny, and several places on the body.
But you see that 3-digit number off to the right side? That could be the CDE number which can be decoded to tell us the year,body and engine , that the tranny was originally in. I read yours as 008, which does not decode to anything. For a late 69 date, A-body,SBM, that should be 602.
AS to this;
" I was more pm'ing you about the slick shift ? I get the faster shifts, but strength? 2 out of 3 teeth gone!"
I don't understand. What did I miss? Come back...
